Although fifth in the series, THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND
quickly brings the reader up to speed on the relationships
of the characters.
Morgan Kingsley, one of the best demon exorcists in the
country, used to despise those who chose to host demons in
their bodies while taking a "back seat" to their own lives.
Now, she hosts her own demon, but she has autonomy in her
own body...most of the time. While trying to save the
world, deter a demon-coup for the throne, and keep too many
pitiful bystanders from getting killed, Morgan's demon,
Lugh, has decided it is time for her to confront her lover
about how present Lugh is...all of the time.
Great characterization, fast plot development, and
unpredictability, THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND encourages one to
get lost in layers of plots and counterplots.
Morgan Kingsley, a kick-ass exorcist, can deal with Lugh,
the supersexy demon living inside her, but does he have to
moan softly during her intimate moments with her mortal
lover? Understandably, Brian is reluctant to share the
pleasures of Morgan’s flesh with a gorgeous rogue from the
Demon Realm.
But personal matters will have to wait when the
opportunistic owner of the Seven Deadlies demon club in
Philadelphia enlists Morgan’s help in heading off a crisis:
It seems that demons have started showing up at the hot spot
in alarming numbers and in the unwilling bodies of rough
trade club-goers. Morgan is sure that Dougal, Lugh’s sworn
enemy, is behind this, but why? To find out, Morgan must
summon every ounce of power at her command—or risk becoming
just another casualty in an all-out demon war.
