So, um...yeah. This was okay.

For the second book in a row, we get to peel back the mysterious backstory of one of Tori's new best friends while they're battling a new magical threat. This time it's demons—and rival guilds. One of which is pretty ethically challenged.

It was a bit too similar to the previous book for me. But it delivered the same kind of quippy UF action that characterizes the series. It's entertaining enough to keep going with the series—and to recommend them—I just want to see a little more out of them.
