Sophie
Lawson has gotten a promotion at the Underworld Detection Agency. She’s the new
Head of the Fallen Angel Division. Since that job doesn't really take up a lot
of her time she's also taking care of other clients. Until some of her
clients start turning up dead and many of her still alive clients decide it
would be wiser and safer to see someone else. Now, Sophie has even more time to
investigate why demons are being attacked or outright murdered.
During
all of this her vampire roommate Nina has fallen in love with an author. An
author who researches and writes about how vampires and other paranormal
creatures aren’t real. How ironic that he’s dating a vampire and he’s clueless.
Alex Grace, the Fallen Angel and police detective, has taken off to parts
unknown for some stake out and only her Guardian Will is sticking close to her
while Sophie goes from one close call to another.
Well-written
with a bit of a faster plot than the last two books, I’m still not feeling the
love of the characters that I would like this far into a series. After
everything that has happened to Sophie the last two books you would think her
friends and colleagues would show a little less disbelief when she insists
something bad is happening to demons. Instead they pooh pooh her and tell her the
incidents are just coincidence. Then there’s Sophie herself. She still cries
too much and now she’s always talking about peeing her pants. Again, after
everything that has happened to her, why hasn’t she grown a set of balls or
something? Still not liking Alex, so I’m very glad he’s not in this book much.
The one character I really like is Will. I hope we continue to see a lot of
him. The ending was a bit of a shocker. I’m actually looking forward to seeing
what happens in the next book.
