Ok, I have to admit--I was not totally sure WHERE to post this book. Depending on what else I read, I might decide to change it from 4 to 10, since Maxine is a Hunter/Guardian/Warden. But since there was Old Wolf and Unicorn in this book (as well as a bunch of demons, an immortal youth and the Lightbringer) I figured that it fit #4 and decided to start it there.
This is the first BOOK from this series that I've read, but I did read a short story (or maybe 2) based on this series recently, which inspired me to break down and get this first book. I will be adding the rest of the books from the series to my tbr pile as I find them available.
