Team Six and I have finally found our ticket into Hell. But the journey to cashing it will be anything but easy, and every decision along the way will come with a sacrifice...sacrifices we might not be willing to make. Darius's creepy brother, Claude, is determined to push us out of his city as soon as he possibly can. And, oh man, are we ready to leave. But, unfortunately for us all, hitching a ride to hell will have to wait. On top of dealing with the fang twins' turbulent relationship (and, wow, is that putting it lightly), I have to navigate Declan and Atlas's suddenly chilly demeanor towards me. Something happened that night in the hotel suite that changed things between us all, but nobody will talk to me about it. And something changed in me too, something that I don't quite know how to deal with. A strange power is starting to build, and I have to find a way to harness and accept it before it destroys me and everyone I care about. Unfortunately, that means coming to terms with the increasingly real possibility that everything The Guild-and my family-has told me is a lie. The monsters are coming for me, that much is clear-but it just so happens that I may very well be a monster myself... ◆◆◆ Hell and Back is the fourth book in The Protector Guild series and it does end on a cliffhanger. Max's story is a slow-burn why choose / polyandry romantasy series. Get ready for action, spice, and intrigue. ◆◆◆
