    <body><![CDATA[This is my favorite in the series so far.  I think that's because the girl in the story is tough and I like her a lot.  Plus the premise of the pain demon is fascinating if you aren't grossed out by the idea that he needs to cut himself.  It seemed darker and edgier than the others, which I liked.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56946631">more...</a>]]></body>
