This is the next novel in the Demon Trappers series and
very intense. Riley, still the main character, is
recovering from the horrors of the previous novel.
Trappers are dead, her boyfriend is near death, and her
father's body may be controlled by a necromancer. It would
be an understatement to say that Riley has a lot on her
plate. Beck, charged with protecting Riley by her late
father, is grumpy and out of sorts. Could his latest mood
swing have something to do with Riley?
Ori, the newest character, has decided to protect Riley
personally, but is he what he seems? With many suspicious
characters and events, Riley must decide who to believe and
what is the truth while dealing with all of the problems
concerning her.
This story has multiple subplots, particularly focused on
budding possible relationships between Riley and multiple
characters. The events are fast-paced, there is a lot of
action in this book. The author writes with such detail,
the reader will feel as if he/she is actually experiencing
the events of this story. This book is highly recommended
to young adult/teen readers.
Riley Blackthorne is beginning to learn that there are worse
things than death by demon. And love is just one of them…
Seventeen-year-old Riley has about had it up to here. After
the devastating battle at the Tabernacle, trappers are dead
and injured, her boyfriend Simon is gravely injured, and now
her beloved late father’s been illegally poached from his
grave by a very powerful necromancer. As if that’s not
enough, there's Ori, one sizzling hot freelance demon hunter
who’s made himself Riley’s unofficial body guard, and Beck,
a super over-protective “friend” who acts more like a
grouchy granddad. With all the hassles, Riley’s almost
ready to leave Atlanta altogether.
But as Atlanta’s demon count increases, the Vatican finally
sends its own Demon Hunters to take care of the city’s
“little” problem, and pandemonium breaks loose. Only Riley
knows that she might be the center of Hell’s attention: an
extremely powerful Grade 5 demon is stalking her, and her
luck can't last forever…
