I thought this book was better than the first, I think that was because the world had, for the most part, been set up. We know that Kara is a summoner and what that all involves. There is great comedic relief with Kara and Ryan. You know both of them is hoping for more, but they both are just too scared to go there. Kara also seems to learn some important things from the demons this time around. She doesn't always realize it at the time, but the thoughts come back later when it makes sense. Kara ...more

oh wow... i absolutely love this series! i really like demons... haha...

this is a really great suspense novel that incorporates crime and the supernatural. Diana Rowland, being a former street cop and forensic assistant, definitely knows her stuff when it comes to crime behind-the-scenes... and it shows. Through our heroine, Rowland has been able to demonstrate her expertise when it comes to crime and if my brain has the capacity to understand what she's talking about, then so can yours.

This second in the series displays a realism that it unexpected when it comes to crime and urban fantasy novels. Diana Rowland has provided a refreshing perspective when it comes to supernatural crimes. Rowland has the ability to make these murders seem far more realistic than other supernatural crime novels, where it is not unusual for a murder to have brains spattered all over the floor, and intestines spilt all over the place. I mean, i know that's possible but come on! every single death has to have a body part missing, i mean really! That might be just a little over the top. But that's just my opinion...

i really like our heroine. She's tough... (usually)... independent, funny... haha.. and Rowland has created her really well. She seems to understand Kara and has created a well-developed character. All of her characters in fact, are very well developed. They all seem to have their own personalities and traits and they stick by them... not like some other characters in novels where they do things that seem completely off with the type of character they are.
I also like how Rowland has been able to incorporate so many more characters into this novel, or at least other characters are featured and understood a little more than in her first work where Kara was still a social pariah... hehe..

try it.... it would probably be better if you read Mark of the Demon first but this book can be read as a standalone i suppose.... i can't say you won't regret cos i'm not a psychic.. hehe... but there is my opinion of the book... and of course the high average rating.... so... yeah... enough said....
i cannot wait for the next in the series: Secret of the Demon... yay for Diana Rowland! ...more
