I give it 4½♥'s

VERY surprising turn of events. I have to admit, the story lines I would have figured as a sequel to A Demon Made Me Do It don't hold a candle to the roller coaster ride in this book. My heart about leaped out my chest several times. Great follow-up, and still looking forward to more.

"Love can shove it."

And Bones is as always, oh, so HOT! I think I like him best of the guys in the series. I initially was on the fence as to which 'team' I was on (Team Bones vs. Team Kieron) But af...more

Fire with Fire is the second book in the Demonblood Series. Having read and liked the first book I was happy to read the second as well.

The book starts after two months of where the last book ended. Keiron is out on a mission and hasn't returned yet nor has he communicated with Liora or Lucky. Liora is doubtful that Keiron will ever return to her. So when there's a new guy who shows some interest in her she can't help but return his affections. Lucky on the other hand is sure there is somethin...more

Well.

After reading the first book, A Demon Made Me Do It, I immediately jumped at the chance to read this one and see how the story progressed. I wasn't disappointed. Penelope King is a talented author who I believe will only get better over the years. This book was fast-paced and full of action. It triggered different emotions at every turn--sometimes I was happy, sometimes outraged, sometimes sad. I hated Tristan from the beginning.

After reading the first book, A Demon Made Me Do It, I immediately jumped at the chance to read this one and see how the story progressed. I wasn't disappointed. Penelope King is a talented author who I believe will only get better over the years. This book was fast-paced and full of action. It triggered different emotions at every turn--sometimes I was happy, sometimes outraged, sometimes sad. I hated Tristan from the beginning.

In my review of the first book, I mentioned that I thought the dialogue between characters often felt stilted and too formal. While that didn't change in this book, I didn't notice it much unless I made a conscious effort to do so. I've becomes accustomed to the writing style and found that I wasn't bothered by it at all this time. However, I had to give this book four stars instead of five as well. This time it's because I felt that things were a little too neat in the last third of the book. (view spoiler)

I have a lot of questions as well. I would love to know more about the fight between the light-angels and dark-angels in these books and really wish I had more details about the demons and their roles and motivations. I know the common stories behind both sides, but I wish they were all more fleshed out here because I find it really interesting that Ms. King chose to tell this story from the demons' point of view.

Even with the flaws I mentioned above, I found the story thoroughly engaging and will be looking forward to the next installment.

And I jut want to add hat the cover is gorgeous! :)(less)

Young Adult is not a genre that generally appeals to me, but this series is unbelievable and I can’t wait to read the rest of them. I have to know what happens next.

All I can say is wow. I received the first book in this series, A Demon Made Me Do It, for review, and as soon as I read the last sentence I immediately got on Amazon and purchased this book. I just was not ready for the drama to be finished. Unfortunately, now I have to wait until this summer to get my next fix.

Fire with Fire continues the story of Liora and Lucky. It picks up the story a couple of months down the road from where the first book had ended. Liora/Lucky is impatiently awaiting Kieron's return. In the meantime, Liora finds something akin to love in the new boy, Tristan, and Lucky is finding comfort in the arms of an old friend, Bones. But, things are not always what they seem, and soon Liora and Lucky have to figure out who it is they can really trust. When a series of attacks lead them and their friends into hostile territory, misplaced trust will take them on a journey that can only end in tragedy.

So, where to start? I love this story, but I'm not sure what to say without giving too much away! In this book Liora is still struggling with trying to be "normal" and getting through the last few months of high school. She finds comfort in Tristan, and even when concerns are raised about their relationship, Liora defends him, possibly alienating her one and only friend. At the same time, Lucky, having no idea what kind of trouble Liora has gotten herself into, is struggling to understand and control her feelings for her best friend, which is much more complicated with Kieron away. She is also really struggling with her own low self-esteem, putting the blame on herself for everything that goes wrong. Kieron…I'm not sure what to do with him. First you love him, then you hate him, then you love him, then you hate him…right now I love him, but we'll have to see where that goes in the next book. And then there is Bones. Hmmm…I'm not going to say too much about him, because I can't without giving away way too much information, but I love Bones so much! He's so sexy and sweet and caring and loving and cuddly…and did I mention sexy?! (view spoiler)

This book, like the first in the series, was fast moving and unpredictable. There were moments when I thought I knew what was going to happen, and then…surprise! I was wrong, and of course what was written was way better than what I had came up with in my head. And the ending…another cliffhanger. The characters are so very well written that you just feel like you know them, whether it is to love them or hate them. They stick with you and make you want more.

The worlds the author has created are complex and unique. It's really amazing how you can have two separate worlds in this book that are overlapping and coexisting but yet not really interacting. I think the story idea in this series is so unique. Normally the demons are portrayed as the bad guys, but here that's not the case. When Lucky goes tormenting it is people who are breaking the law, usually against innocent people.

So, long story short, I love this series and cannot wait for this summer so I can read the next in the series.

Love this!

The second one, that got sent to me through the same group, I went through like a breeze. The story was compelling, and I kept being drawn back to it to read more, which is always a good sign in my case.

We already know the main characters from the first book, of course; we get to know them better here, as well as see some development that I was glad about. While Lucky might have just a tad bit too much of a tendency to feel guilty about everything bad that happens (but still gets out to kick ass no matter what), I thought Liora was getting better. There was less whining about how she doesn't fit in, and more taking things into her own hands, as well as starting to accept to live with her current state (instead of closing her eyes and trying to ignore Lucky's doings). There was also something terribly beautiful about the relationship between Lucky and Bones (I was so, so unhappy at how things unfolded in chapter 19, and hope we get to know, let's say, more in the next novel).

Kieron... got on my nerves, but part of me couldn't keep on thinking that there must be more to his shitty attitude. It was half expected, but he still gave me a good scare here. I found him weaker in this book, though. Perhaps because he doesn't appear for the first half, and gets less 'screen time'?

Tristan seemed so shady from the beginning, but I had no idea at first who or what exactly he was, nor what he wanted. I liked the way he progressively weaseled his way into Liora's life, and how it was introduced, through her skewed perception. It's not so easy to do that in a first-person narrative, and I was surprised, then intrigued, then satisfied at the way it was brought. (The part about coming back from the mines, and then chapter 11 especially, made me frown and go all "ooookay, now this is really getting weird"—toppled with that line about the blueberries pancakes.)

And Tatiana. I already liked her in the first installment, but now I like her even more.

It's hard to write a full review without spoiling too much, so I'll leave it at that. Suffice to say that I will very likely read #3, because I definitely want to know where the characters are going to take it from now on. Too many things have changed in their lives, they can't go back, and so going forward is the only option, and is bound to bring some surprises.(less)

So first and foremost am I the only one who immediately thought Tristan and Cassie were actually Michael and Kayla? Crazy I know, but in the first book Lucky describes having to pick up their pieces after the Amazea demons finished with them. Then Tristan and Cassie have all these crazy scars and he tells Liora that they were in an accident together. I was CON-VINCED I tell ya... and then I was wrong. But that's okay because while I felt super smart being so sure, the idea bothered me a lot. I did not like how creepy Tristan was... not at all. I felt like his character development in general was a little shady. He was ugly, then he was beautiful and made her feel calm, then all of a sudden he was ugly again. I had a really hard time understanding the effect he had over her. I didn't understand at all what could possibly be the "bug" both Liora and Lucky thought they were coming down with, and the fact that Liora was so very insistent that she didn't go to the mines when Tatiana got angry with her. I get that later Kieron explains how Tristan was sucking Liora's energy, but that still didn't seem to explain it very well, even looking back and trying to connect the pieces. However, the whole situation wasn't so confusing and frustrating that it ruined how much I was loving the book. Now... on to Bones. OH MY GOD... my heart broke a thousand times over. Bones.. oh man... Thanks for that big piece of raw sex. Let me sidenote and say how much I really truly love the idea of reincarnation and how it has been slowly but surely popping up around the YA world. I was blown away a thrilled when Ms. King slipped that little gem in there. When Bones explained to Lucky that they always found each other and it was about the sixth or seventh time she'd led him to his death, I was eating the whole thing up. Is that why she felt so much better after they finally did the deed? Are they soulmates (I know, I know, I feel like that deserves a big "well duh!")? And what was this business about her always finding Keiron too? KILL ME NOW... I can't wait for the next one. I have to know these things. I couldn't help fall a little more in love with him when he so obviously offered himself. I also got a little sick to my stomach. Then, miraculously, Kieron saves the day and rides in with the Legionaire, and I rejoiced! Until of course the head of the Legionaire turned out to be a major douchebag and killed Bones. I was also a little upset that Lucky wasn't as upset as I thought she'd be. Like I said, it was a roller coaster of emotions. Finally...a little Bones baby?! Yes please... but then I start thinking "But wait I really love Keiron now too... What happens when he finds out Lucky/Liora has a tiny hellhound growing in there? Is he going to hate Liora for Lucky's decision?!" Seriously, this really was too much for me to handle at 4am. Originally I gave the book 4 stars but after getting in a few hours of sleep and realizing I had so much to say about it, I switched it to 5. I don't think I can express how much I enjoyed this book, and you'd better believe I'll be snatching up the third one as soon as it's available!(less)

This is the second book in the Demonblood series and was just as good as the first.

Liora and Lucky, a human and a demon respectively, share a body after their soul was split by the demons, Amazea who killed their friends and are now being escorted to the Legionnaire by Kieron.

But two months have passed and Kieron hasn't returned. Liora and Lucky know where he is, if something has happened to him or if he just doesn't care about them anymore. Lucky takes comfort in the arms of Bones, while Liora hangs out with a mysterious stranger with an unforeseen motive. He is using Liora for something, but what?

Meanwhile, Lucky finds out that Kieron is being held hostage and tortured by another tribe of demons as revenge for being involved in a battle that killed five of their hellhounds. Immediately, Lucky decides that she must go and rescue him. She is stopped by Aria, a telepath, who tells her she cannot go yet, the time is not right and promises to help when the time comes. Lucky is not very happy about this but she has no choice. Bones will also accompany her, along with a couple of other hellhounds.

This book was just as good as the first one, which is fantastic. I really, really enjoyed it. I really didn't like Lucky in the first book but she grew on me a little bit more here. I still really liked Liora, she is just a sweetheart, probably one of my favourite female characters. Bones is just as hot and sexy as ever and Kieron is still amazing, once he finally returns. I love him. And lets not forget Lucky/Liora's guardian Tatiana, she is just amazing.

We have some new and mysterious characters now too. Tristan and Cassandra, a brother and sister who start at Lucky's school.

This book was fast moving and definitely unpredictable. Once again I really liked the authors writing style and just find it so easy to read. This book was very emotional and upsetting at times and the ending..........what more can I say. I cannot wait for the next one.

I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this book to any paranormal romance fans out there. (less)

This book is a great mix of action, adventure and romance.
Once again we see the world from both Liora's (human) and Lucky's (demon) POVs. In this sequel to A Demon Made Me Do It (Demonblood #1) Liora/Lucky are on a quest to find Kieron, who has disappeared. At first, both believe he has left because he did not love them, but it turns out he was captured by the enemy. And this enemy has it out for Liora/Lucky. So she, along with her best friend Bones and a few other Hell Hounds, make their way to find him. We also meet some new characters in Tristin, who Liora falls for but can't understand why when she knows she still loves Kieron, and his sister Cassie, who dislikes Liora from the start. Eventually it is revealed that Tristin and his gang are anything but human and want nothing more than to destroy Liora and her demon side.
This book draws you in right away. It's so great to be able to really see the difference between Liora and Lucky. And it's amazing the way King can actually keep them separated and believable.
Unfortunately, we lose one of the characteres I love the most, Bones. But not before Lucky gives in for her total love for him. And I can see that he is not going to be forgotten in future books, he will always be permanently part of Liora/Lucky's life.
This book takes some nice twists and turns. We learn more about Tatiana's powers and really feel her love for Liora/Lucky. We once again are fooled into thinking Liora has found something great, which turns out to be evil. People Lucky thought she could trust turn on her. And we watch Liora grow into a stronger woman, who fights for what she feels is right and what she needs.
I really have nothing that I did not like in this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read about demons and romance. I cannot wait for the next inastallment!
I give this book a 4/5 as I did the first one.(less)

Like A Demon Made Me Do It, Fire With Fire still features the same kick-ass heroine Lucky and "good girl" Liora. Everything I loved about A Demon Made Me Do It - the charming plot, Bones, relationships, action - was basically almost all there. So yes, I did enjoy this book c:

Book number two in Penelope King's Demonblood Series, Fire With Fire, definitely delivered! I completely devoured this book. Far too often, I find authors to be predictable. That cannot be said about Ms. King. As far as I'm concerned, this series is just getting better and better with each new secret that's exposed. The only downfall?? I have to wait until Summer to read the next book in this amazingly captivating series!

Okay, so I finished this last night and I still am having a hard time coming up with what to say about this book. It was thrilling. It was emotional (I cried a couple of times). It was downright brilliant. One of the things I admire the most about this series is that it makes you look at predudice from a different angle. Demons are supposed to be bad, but in this series they are not; at least, not all of them are.

I love the characters Ms. King has fashioned, and I love the subtle play with emoti...more

I received this to read and review from Penelope King. It's the continued story for Liora/Lucky from "A Demon Made Me Do It." This book starts off where it's been two months since Kieron left on his mission to deliver the demons that created Liora/Lucky and killer her friends. Instead of revenge Lucky choose for Kieron to be free to be with them. Both girls are still expecting him to return home even though it's been to months it's been really hard emotionally for them. While Kieron is gone Lior...more

I received this books as part of a review on behalf of the author after reading the first book in the "Demonblood" series. It is an interesting concept of two souls inhabiting the one body and such complete opposites where a demon girl and a human girl both fall in love with the same guy Kieron. It makes an interesting threesome to say the least.I am really enjoying this series so far and have become invested in the characters especially Liora/Lucky and Kieron though Bones was a personal favouri...more

Very good sequel! I enjoyed learning more about Lucky/Liora. What has happened to Kieron? Has he deserted her? Will she ever see him again? Something is happening to Lucky/Liora. She doesn't feel the same. She feels weaker. What could be causing that? To complicate matters, a new boy has started at Liora's school. He persists in being beside her. Tristan doesn't interest Liora.......in the beginning. Corrine begains to notice the changes in Liora.

Some of Bones and Tatiana's secrets are revealed...more

A worthy continuation of Lucky and Liora's tale. Fast paced, action packed and full of revelations, twists and turns. I love Penelope King's writing style, and found myself quickly pulled into the story. The finale was shocking and unexpected. There were some new characters introduced and some old ones forced to make an exit. As with book one the story alternated between Liora's and Lucky's POV, and I found myself wanting to stay more and more with Lucky because, for me, Liora pales in compariso...more
