Book Review: "Hellfire" by B. C. Hollywood

 

Past and present collide in a fiery tale of redemption, magic, and second chances.

Vincent Burke thought he'd already been to hell and back. He was wrong.

In the shadows of modern Dublin, Vincent Burke is a man haunted by his past and driven to the edge by grief. But when a reckless act catapults him back in time to 1800s Ireland, he discovers that his personal hell is just beginning.

Thrust into a world of dark magic and even darker intentions, Vincent encounters Siobhan, a young witch with powers that defy explanation. As the sinister Hellfire Club prepares a ritual that threatens Siobhan's very existence, Vincent must confront the demons of his past to save her from a fate worse than death.

In this desperate race against time, every choice comes with a price. With each step, the line between savior and monster blurs, and Vincent begins to question whether he's rescuing Siobhan or damning them both.

As past and present collide, Vincent and Siobhan find their fates intertwined in ways they could never have imagined. Can Vincent overcome his own troubled history to forge a new future, or will the flames of hell finally consume them both? - from Booksirens.com

I received this eARC from Booksirens.com and and providing an unbiased review.

This book plot sounded interesting to me, so I decided to request if I had the chance to read it. I did. I read. And I want more. Though the story starts off a bit slow, with seemingly repetitious recollections of a tragedy that our MC is dealing with the grief of, it finally gets somewhat into gear around the halfway point. Though not listed as part of a series, I think there is a possibility of a maybe a trilogy out of the starting story. I would be somewhat interested in the future plot plans for the MC and supporting character.
