The demon Rule is not having a good day. He's lost a fiend. A minor fiend, to be sure, but a fiend all the same, and the Council of Others is not amused. In fact, it's been strongly suggested that Rule collect his missing fiend from the world above before a bad situation becomes something much worse. So, in a mood most foul, Rule sets out for the human world to capture the imp and bring him home.
The human world has been in turmoil since the Others announced their presence. Yes, Virginia, vampires, werewolves, demons, witches and fairies are not only real, but have been living among us for years. And now they want their civil rights. Rioting has broken out in every major city and in Manhattan mobs of protestors have taken to the streets. The city's population is angry and afraid. A dangerous combination for humans and Others alike.
Abby Baker finds herself right in the middle of an angry mob. Trying hard to extract herself from trouble, Abby is crouched down, hiding, invisible to all except the hitchhiking fiend, who chooses Abby as its next host when the time comes for it to change bodies.
Rule's day has gotten worse. He's finally located his fiend, who goes by the name of Lou, inside a human woman. And Lou is in no hurry to come out. A major archfiend is after him because he has knowledge of a spell that will shift the balance of good and evil in evil's favor. Rule's priority is to protect Abby until Lou can be safely extracted. He already had enough problems before Abby was thrown into the mix. But now...now all he can think about is Abby. And most of what he's thinking is completely inappropriate.
Abby is horrified at her situation. Good Catholic girl that she is, a demon inside of her is intolerable. Although she's been assured that Lou is no danger to her immortal soul, she has her doubts. She has her doubts about Rule, as well. The 6'4" Hunter is way too sexy for what she thinks a demon should be. And shouldn't he be a little more evil if he's a demon? It looks like the humans have a lot to learn about the Others, and Abby is about to get a hands-on course.
THE DEMON YOU KNOW, the third book in the Others series, like its predecessors, is a lot of fun. Returning characters and a strong sense of humor add dimension to the story. Well-paced and well-told, this series is a winner.
