Description from the publisher:
It's one Hell of an April Fool's Prank.

Eloise has always been the level-headed sister, ready for any disaster, but with Clara dating a demon, her skills aren't holding up so well anymore. When April First begins with a pregnancy announcement, Eloise already has more to deal with than she wants.

She really doesn't want to deal with a kidnapping, either, but after getting knocked out in a demon brawl in a maternity shop, she finds herself chained in a dungeon in Hell. Her only hope for rescue is a demon she definitely doesn't want to rely on, a demon she hasn't been able to get out of her head since an ill-fated romp months ago.

Returning to his family's chunk of Hell is Killian's worst nightmare, but he's the only one who can save Eloise. Oh, and it's a chance for revenge on the brothers who tormented him for most of his life. He's not super optimistic about his odds of escaping, but he owes Eloise a favor for being a jerk to her, and he's going to die soon, anyway. He might as well take his brothers out in the process—and see Eloise one last time before he goes.

He's got it all planned out, except for one slight miscalculation: his homeland has been transformed into a springtime paradise, complete with carnivorous bunnies, venom-spitting lilies, and Hell's first Easer egg hunt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
AN EASTER DEMON FOR ELOISE is the second book in the Candy for Demons series.  Though each will stand on its own, though for maximum enjoyment, it is better if you have read the first book as well.

I love that the author went all in with the Easter theme – lilies, bunnies, pretty dresses, demons (just checking if you were paying attention) and an Easter Egg hunt.  It was a fun non-theological look at Heaven’s and Hell’s perspective on the season, according to this world, and it was a suspenseful dark romance in a twistedly beautiful Hell.  

Yes, I lost sleep last night, because I had to read.  I HAD TO – this was not up for debate.  In my opinion, it was worth it.  Eloise and Killian needed their time together to find their way to be an “us,” but this also established who Hazel was and what her powers are.  Yes, she has a power.  If you’ve read the first book, you had to suspect that the “normal” triplet had one that she wasn’t sharing.  Well, now it has been revealed and it’s a doozy!  I hate that I have to wait until Fall to read her book, but I will be ready when it is.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
