[Poll Ballot] The Mage in Black (Sabina Kane #2) by Jaye Wells 4 stars

Hilarious book!

In addition to vampires, mages, demons and fairies, this book adds in werewolves and a secret society who's intentions aren't clear.

Sabina meets the mage half of her family, and doesn't seem to really get along with them any better than she did with the vampire half. She also meets the twin sister she never knew she had.

The demon-cat/minion/familiar Gighul has moved on from home shopping and Oprah to 24-hour porn and demon fight club. And he gains a demon girlfriend. Gighul is the best character in this series - full-on comic relief in an already funny book.

I listened to this on audio, which really made the demon parts come alive. So many puns that jumped out with the audio narration.

This book ends on a cliff hanger....so I'll be starting book 3 soon.

This sounds hilarious. I just electronically checked out the first book of the series. I'm just too anal to read out of order so I hope Book 1 is good too.

I liked book 1. There's a bit of setting up the characters as you would expect for the first book in a series, but still pretty funny.
