Many people seemed to like this one but unfortunately I didn't. About 50 or so pages in childhood sexual abuse is described immediately followed by what was supposed to a hot sex scene with a demon lord who at first tries to rape Kara using mind control, she calls him on it and he stops but she sleeps with him anyway. This made me extremely uncomfortable and soured most of the rest of the book for me. I skimmed until I got to the last 100 pages where I think the author had gained more confidence as the writing had improved. However, I didn't much like Mr. FBI after he revealed he knew about the arcane, he became overly sappy for my tastes. I can't see him and Kara being more than just friends. Kara too annoyed me. She could've saved herself a lot of pain and trouble if she'd just called the demon lord before the ritual started. I kept waiting and waiting for her to do it but she was a last minute girl, living and dying on the edge. Although the plot was good, the writing suffered a little from being the first book and the only thing that really interested me was the demon lord who we sadly didn't really see much of.
