Better editing but less interesting story
Much cleaner text with few noticeable typos. Unfortunately that was not as interesting of a story as the fist book. Firstly, zero Succubie of interest. Lacked interesting wordplay and character development between MC and ladies as first book.

Ok
This was a little bit of a confused read. The name is succubus hunter. The book was a little slow and hard to follow

Introduction
In the icy realms of HowlStrom, where the frosty winds whisper ancient tales, I, Kiba Snowpaw, an alpha lone Ice Wolf with the soul of a warrior and the heart of a gamer, find solace amidst the eternal dance of snowflakes. With the icy breath of 36 winters and the scars of a cubhood that was as harsh as the blizzards of my world, I sit by the ethereal glow of the auroras, a book in my paws - "Succubus Hunter 2" by Daniel Pierce. A tale not of icy realms and frosty nights, but of a city at war, a hunter, and the dark forces that lurk in the shadows.
Basic Plot Summary
Kurt, the protagonist, is a hunter caught amidst a city in turmoil. With the fall of the evil Tandi, a power vacuum emerges, and supernatural forces, as unpredictable as the storms of HowlStrom, surge to claim dominion. Kurt, with allies as diverse as the snowflakes that grace my icy world, unravels an ancient mystery, a tale as old as the eternal winter of my homeland.
Analysis/Evaluation
The narrative, though not as cold and unforgiving as the icy plains of HowlStrom, is intricate. It’s a dance of shadows and mysteries, where every revelation is a step deeper into the abyss. The city, a battlefield of power and intrigue, is as complex and unpredictable as the icy terrains that I, Kiba Snowpaw, have treaded.
Characters
Kurt is a hunter, not of icy beasts but of dark entities. His allies, a mix of the mystical and the mundane, are as diverse as the icy landscapes under the eternal moon of HowlStrom. Each character, like the icy winds of the north, has a chill and mystery, a dance of light and shadow.
Structure
The tale unfolds not in the linear paths of the icy plains but in the complex labyrinths of a city gripped in darkness. It’s a narrative where every turn is a new mystery, every revelation a deeper enigma, akin to the unpredictable storms of my icy realm.
Impact
In the icy silence of HowlStrom, where the winds carry tales of ancient warriors, "Succubus Hunter 2" echoes a different battle - not of icy terrains and frosty nights but of a city, a hunter, and the shadows that lurk within.
Hook and Thesis
Yet, amidst the icy elegance of the narrative, there’s a warmth, a fire that burns as fiercely as the battles I’ve fought under the icy moon of HowlStrom. It’s a tale that, like the eternal winters, is both a chill and a warmth, a shadow and a light.
Praise and Critique
The tale is as intricate as the icy patterns on the windows of my world, yet, at times, as elusive as the northern lights. The narrative, though not as cold and unforgiving as the icy plains, could delve deeper, be as fierce and unyielding as the winters of HowlStrom.
Evaluation
Yet, in the icy silence, where the frosty winds whisper ancient tales, "Succubus Hunter 2" is a voice, a warmth amidst the chill, a shadow amidst the light, a tale as eternal as the icy realms of HowlStrom.
Comparison
In the world where I, Kiba Snowpaw, roam, where the icy winds are both a song and a silence, this tale is a melody of a different world, a narrative not of icy plains but of dark alleys, not of frosty nights but of shadowed mysteries.
Conclusion
As I, an Ice Wolf with the soul of a warrior and the heart of a gamer, tread the icy realms of HowlStrom, "Succubus Hunter 2" is a companion, a tale of a different world, a narrative as intricate and elusive as the icy winds of my homeland. It’s a dance of shadows and lights, a narrative that, like the eternal winters, is both a chill and a warmth, a silence and a song.

A decent sequel
I thought this was a well written sequel. The suspense was well done. I was constantly second guessing myself wondering if the new characters Maura or Jexie were double-agents. (Spoiler alert) Low and behold it was a member of Pembroke’s family. The characters were interesting like in the previous book and the sex scenes described were sensual though not as frequent as in the first one though they had their reasons to be there and it was to further the story. I liked the fight scenes. Kurt facing the golems was cool/intimidating knowing they’re virtually indestructible. I was a little upset when he fell for Timur’s last taunt about the death of his mom. I thought Kurt would be able to block it out like the previous ones.
I also thought it was funny how Kurt described how rancid the mummies were on the bus after Pembroke contacted them and how mesmerized they were when introduced to modern technology shortly after arriving at their rented apartment.
I’m glad Pembroke and his rival died in the final battle. I hope they don’t reappear. The ship has sailed on that. If a third one comes out I would like to see who Kurt’s next foe will be. Maybe it’ll be a vampire or kitsune. You never know.
All in all this was a good book. I hope Daniel Pierce continues to write more of these and release another one soon because I see a lot of growth in this series. If you like supernatural beings and noir then you’ll enjoy this. Take it for what it’s worth and read for yourself.

This is a good read
I enjoyed the first two books in a series that I hope will continue. I found the author had original takes on the types of fantasy characters that were unique . The personalities he assigned his characters was also unique. Enjoyable

Well-written in general, but it seems like the story is losing focus. More of a 3.5 or a soft 4, but I will reserve judgement to a certain extent pending the next installment. Sometimes individual books are weaker as they are set-ups for later on and I'm hoping that's what's happening here.
