Présentation de l'éditeur


There are worse things than hell.

Try being a goddess sometime.
Jin Hannigan is the fresh new mortal incarnation of the Goddess of Mercy. It is her job to raid the various and numerous hells scattered around the cosmos for worthy souls ready to move on...whether they want to or not. That's a tough gig for any goddess, never mind a mere mortal, but someone has to do it.
Otherwise all the hells, literally, break loose.
Throw in a powerful eternal enemy Jin can neither defeat nor escape and things can't get much worse, right?
Right?
At least she'll have help along the way: Lung Nu, a thousand-year-old shape-shifting dragon princess in the form of a snarky teenager, and Frank, the Eternal Innocent. That is, if by innocent you mean clueless.
On second thought, maybe things can get worse. Much worse.
Does Jin have a chance...in hell?
Read All the Gates of Hell and find out.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Legal Assistant Jin Lee Hannigan thought she had problems enough as a single woman in rundown Medias, Mississippi. That was before Jin meets a homeless man on Pepper Street who just happens to be the King of Hell, and learns that she's really the mortal incarnation of Guan Shi Yin, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, charged with the rescue of unfortunates trapped in the various -- and nasty -- hells scattered around the cosmos. That doesn't even turn out to be her biggest problem. It seems that the Goddess of Mercy is on the run and in hiding, which is why she incarnated as a human in the first place. Hiding from what? Love. But why would anyone fear love? Jin already knows that love is powerful, but what she has to learn, and fast, is that the wrong kind of love is also potentially the most destructive force in all the universe and--even more important--how to stop it.
