**I received a free copy of this e-book in a giveaway, which did not influence my opinion in any way.At the end of Blood Bound, Sarah had just met a seductive friend whose motivations were unclear. Demon Divided wastes no time jumping back into the action. The momentum is non-stop as new and old characters make appearances, and the bond grows ever stronger between Sarah, Ray, and the hilarious Dev. Meanwhile, Shaun deals with the aftermath of a former amorous enemy and stumbles upon new supernatural developments that require the help of a snarky psychic, Elle.The demon hunter twins are more endearing than ever, and the book almost reads like a supernatural-style noir with its deliciously dark characters and atmosphere. Stevenson doesn't talk down to her audience and leaves just enough clues to lead to a thrilling conclusion, so make sure you pay close attention while reading! I appreciated that Stevenson has created a very strong character in Sarah, who is fully in charge of her femininity and kicks demon butt--no weak heroines here! Dev is also a very unique character and personal favorite, he keeps growing on me book by book! Stevenson has a very signature writing style that is light on description and avoids info-dumping, and I truly love the balance between characters and plot. This definitely is not an urban fantasy disguised as a romance (like many books trending nowadays where the plot is sacrificed for the sake of a love story) and readers will be satisfied with the ending's tantalizing hints about Book III. Excited to see what's next for the twins!
