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.
