About the Book:

What’s the worst place in The Underground City? How about the Ninth Level, the Morgue?

After Lily Harper narrowly escapes the clutches of Alaire, the Master of the Underground City, she finds herself on the back of a winged Fury in the middle of the ninth circle, The Morgue, and she’s not sure where to go.

Tallis has been left to his own defenses in the eighth level, The Asylum, and Bill is MIA. Lily has no idea how to find either one of them or where to even start.

After she gets attacked mid-air, Lily finds an unconventional ally in the form of Manfred Albrecht Freiherr, otherwise known as the Red Baron. Manfred informs Lily that a civil war is brewing in the Ninth Level between a legion of rebel demons and the old-world order.

Lily finds herself smack-dab in the middle of this war, a war that’s encouraged by Alaire because, as usual, he wants something…

All Lily wants is to make sure her friends are safe but in so doing, she’ll find herself thrown into the thick of it where she’ll be forced into the fight of her life.

NO GOING BACK is the sixth book in the bestselling Lily Harper Series.

My Review:

Lily has found herself in the Morgue, one of the circles of Hell and is now the vessel for a pretty angry spirit. Her love, Tallis Black, and her guardian angel, Bill, are missing. The trio find themselves in precarious positions, grouping up with unexpected inhabitants, and involved in conflicts while trying to find each other and figure out a way to leave Hell. 

Lily is a strong character, rolling with the hand she's been dealt. She stands strong in the face adversity, through her disconnection between Tallis and Bill, and with the cranky spirit. Her ability to stay level-headed and friendly while attempting to find her way out shows how good of a character she is and I couldn't help but root for her. Her foul-mouthed guardian angel is a hoot. His mish-mash of the English language had me laughing out lout and shaking my head. Tallis is a broody Scotsman but his feelings for Lily are quite evident. His character is also strong and I rooted for him and Bill, too. 

This is the first book I've read in H.P. Mallory's Lily Harper series. While I enjoyed the story very much, I will be going back starting from the beginning. There are many things that happen or are referred to that I wasn't really sure about. I was able to move around it and most of the book fell into place without requiring knowledge of the previous books. The author does a wonderful job providing some details from previous events to aid in keeping the reader abreast with the story. 

I was provided a copy of this book to review.
