However, when you turn states evidence against your husband and need to nurse your wounds home is where you want to be. She expects there to be pushback but not having to prove herself before being allowed in. after passing the good is evil test she gets in but there is still the board who will decide whether she's allowed to stay. Before the can decide the gatekeeper of Hells gate dies and his powers transfer to her. They weren't supposed to. To stop it from being permanent she needs to find the person who had trained for the position to transfer the power to. Will she be able to find this girl in time and keep the town safe?

The premise of this book sound so good. The actual book did not live up to the hype. Evenly was a whiny woman who I didn't like from the beginning.  It was all oh no my husband did all these bad things and now I am forced to go home. Then this super bad thing happens and she's gotta step up and she is still whiny about it. A whole bunch of people die, and she doesn't seem to care. Beyond not liking the main character there wasn't any world building which made it that much harder to connect. Overall, premise good but bad implementation and not going to attempt to read the rest of the series when they come out.
