Book Review: Hell or High Water (The Devil’s Daughter Book 4) by G.A. Chase

Hell or High Water (The Devil’s Daughter Book 4)

A light conversation over coffee tosses the devil’s daughter out of the frying pan of life’s problems and into the fiery depths of hell.

Sere Mal-Laurette was warned against meeting Jennifer, the real woman behind her doppelgänger body. However, she didn’t mention that instruction to Jennifer during their numerous psychically bonded moments. So when Jennifer shows up in front of Sere’s apartment, the doppelgänger doesn’t see much choice other than to invite the housewife in for a cup of coffee.

Before the day is out, Myles’s sweet little dog has turned into a hellhound, Sere’s friend and sidekick Fisher has succumbed to his demonic possession, and supersized crawfish have emerged from the swamp. Sere is forced to wonder if she should have heeded the warnings about Jennifer. But is the widening of the hell mouth a result of one morning’s coffee conversation, or is something more sinister at work?

Sere has plenty of other explanations to choose from. There are the lost souls of the damned that Ma
evil. There’s the fact that Sere’s sweet angel and mother frjory Laroque cast into hell in her attempt to raise a new digure, Sanguine, has been imprisoned. Worst of all, Sere’s very presence among the living could be the cause of the impending apocalypse. Once again she needs help curbing the chaos, but this time, she’ll call on her support system in hell. 

Jennifer, Sere’s doppelganger shows up in New Orleans for Joe’s wake and since Sere didn’t warn her that they aren’t supposed to be in physical contact she is left with nothing else to do but talk to the woman. Then to make matters worse, she receives a call from Ann, Fisher’s wife that something is really wrong with him and that they are rushing him to the hospital. Ann doesn’t know about Fisher’s demonic possession and the team is hoping to help him without informing her of the truth.

Chase has a unique perspective on hell and reality that has made for a fantastic series. It’s not something that has been done repeatedly but is new and refreshing. If you are looking for a new paranormal author than this is the one for you.

G.A. Chase's first official foray into writing was the science fiction series Technopia under the name Greg Chase.

But his passion for New Orleans pulled him from the stars back down to Earth. He fell in love with Big Easy the moment he ate his first dish of crawfish etouffee in a French Quarter restaurant. Gazing at the neighboring two-hundred-year-old structures, he announced to his wife, fellow writer Deanna Chase, that he could easily live in this city. Her look of shock indicated she thought he had been possessed by one of the city's demons.

That was in 2003 and that spirit still hasn't turned him loose. By writing stories inspired and based in New Orleans he hopes to placate his personal demons and angels.

Book Review: Hell’s Highway (The Devil’s Daughter Book 3) by G.A. Chase

Hell’s Highway (The Devil’s Daughter Book 3)

Having put down the latest batch of escaped doppelgangers, Sere Mal-Laurette felt she’d earned a little time off from demon hunting. She was wrong.

Her inattention has allowed a new batch of hellions to rise from the swamp and abduct Rampart Thibodaux. With the hot ex-Navy SEAL’s blood and soul infecting her, Sere has no choice but to jump back on her motorcycle to rescue him. Her quest will cost her dearly but also bring her closer to being human than she could have imagined.

Sere’s emotional roller-coaster ride of human experiences, however, is overshadowed by the rise of a new devil – one who isn’t satisfied with simply claiming hell as his only domain.


Sere had hoped for a break after sending the last group of doppelgangers back to hell but when Bart is kidnapped she has no option but to rescue him. What she finds on this mission are real emotions for Bart and she is unsure what to make of them. This mission could be the costliest of them all.

The sizzle heats up between Sere and Bart in a way that Sere had only imagined. When Bart infected her with his blood the connection became something that no one on the team expected. The characters in book 3 of the Devil’s Daughter series have developed and become something that you can relate to. Power is the ultimate want of evil and one of the most powerful and old families of New Orleans is no exception.

Book Review: Hell Bent for Demons (The Devil’s Daughter Book 2) by G.A. Chase

After riding the swamp of a serial-killing demon, badass Sere Mal-Laurette has moved to New Orleans to put some distance between the interdimensional beacon of her soul and the hellmouth. Hell, however, has other plans for her when a new horde of beasts is unleashed.

Sere will have to knock the rust off her fighting skills if she hopes to save herself and humanity from a fate worse than death. But she soon learns she can't do it alone, and she's going to need more than the help of a bartending former Navy SEAL who makes her weak in the knees. The bikers and gator hunters she's been using for sport during her bar brawls are going to take some serious convincing to join her cause--even if they are the ones most at risk.

By relying on those closest to her to repair her doppelgänger body, hunt down the demons that are out to get her, and protect her soul from the loas of the dead, Sere just might learn something about what it means to be human.


Sere decided to move to New Orleans in hopes that putting distance between herself and the hellmouth would stop her soul from being a beacon to demons. What she found, however, is that you don’t always get what you wish for. To protect herself and humanity she has to reach out to others to help her fight the demons that are coming for everyone.

Book 2 in The Devil’s Daughter series saw Sere continuing to hide from the loas of the dead while trying to find a way to help Monty Fisher separate from the demon whose energy melded with his own soul. The story is a unique one that hasn’t been overdone in this genre and holds your interest as you read. My only criticism is that I would have liked just a tad more romance thrown in for good measure.

When Sere Mal-Laurette escaped hell, she thought she'd left her demons behind her. But now that one has found his way through hell's gate, others are sure to follow. Then all hell will break loose.

If Sere fails to contain the little soulless bastards, the loas of the dead will likely figure out her true identity. Then they'll be all over her soul, and she can kiss immortality goodbye. Moreover, someone needs to send the demons back to where they came from before they wreak havoc on the citizens of New Orleans.

To prevent the demon doppelgängers from killing their human equivalents and taking over their lives, Sere will need the help of people she trusts--and some she doesn't. It's time for her to embrace the badass demon hunter she was always meant to be. To do so, however, she'll have to quickly figure out the line between protector of humanity and murdering psychopath.


Sere is hiding from the loas so they do not figure out her true identity while trying to follow and deal with a demon that found his way through hell’s gate and is causing havoc. If she can’t contain this problem, her immortality will disappear.

I always love a unique story line that hasn’t been done by every author in the genre, and Hell in a Head Gasket delivered just that. This is the first book I read of the author, so I would have liked a recap at the beginning so those that didn’t read the first series would understand certain things would have helped make sense of certain elements. Chasing demons, immortality and a woman who knows how to handle herself is just the beginning of what this book has to offer.
