An excellent review!

I like the way you pinpoint about the gender discrimination. It's a small point of big impact.

Your review should be posted as the book review on Amazon. I noticed lots of 2 words combined as one on its review.

An army of demons popping out portals with three survivors sounds exciting! It's great to hear that you don't have to read the first in the series in order to enjoy this one, and I love how you mentioned the fact that there is no subtle gender discrimination. It's a pet peeve of mine too, so it's great to hear how professional the author was. Too bad that the “I Remember Project" could have been better structured. I wasn't too big of a fan of World War Z, so I don't think this would be for me. Thank you for the insightful review!

I will actually go straight to the first book and start the journey. The book sounds quite engrossing.

The book sounds interesting; though the cover somewhat doesn't match with the books theme. I think I must begin with the first book.

This is an interesting book to read. I yearn to know more of it already.

What an engaging review! I'm always in for a good magic story. I think I should start with Hell Holesto get the most out of this series.

This book classified fallen angels aka Demons into two groups namely lower demons & higher demons. The demons are referred to as venomous animals and they include hellhounds (much bigger than a wolf) and gargoyles. It's an enjoyable and a very interesting novel. I'm gonna love it

A winner for all of you magic & demons fans with this FREE book! Did I read somewhere that those holes appearing in the Arctic Circle are based on fact (minus the demons, of course)? Intriguing review, lane...thanks!

Having enjoyed the first book, I'm excited to see that this one lives up to the hype, excitement, and carries on the post apocalyptic goodness that the first one brought the table. I've grabbed my copy and we'll see where it goes!

A geologist, climatologist and a 1400 year old sorceress demon-hunter, the three survivors of the research team sent to study the holes in the Tundra region find that they are portals for an army of demons. Not my genre but your review was good.

Hell Holes 2 by Donald Firesmith, actually I do not like Horror stories, because it scares me and keep me thinking about it and especially during the night, but I pulled my strength and read the book, from what I see is that the author is trying to tell us about the danger we might face in our lives, and that we should be brave enough to face those difficult moments no mater the circumstances and that sometimes we can't fight everything by ourselves but we should learn to trust others and join together in trying to solve those difficult moments, so, I like the idea of the author Donald Firesmith

Your review makes me want to read the first book. Just the hanks for the review anyway. I will try to look for the first book before reading the second one.
