Review: Demonation, donut-envy, and family fortunes
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 10, 2013
The 2nd outing for Brenna and her friends (almost wrote 'fiends' there) and family finds a now-matured Demon-Witch, helping out the family business hunting down the bad seeds of paranormal society. Still getting used to her uniqueness, and importance, Brenna is nonetheless as conflicted, sharp witted and the biggest danger magnet in the land as usual. This time her family take a more central role as prophecy and portent (and donuts) vie for her attention. There is more humor and more warmth in this instalment of the series; something which adds a lot to our heroine's already impressive arsenal. She's a very likeable demon, and a very capable witch.There a couple of those pesky spelling booboos in this book, but they are the usual 'bare for bear' type ones. Nothing really terrible. I can be a bit of a spelling Nazi at times but grammar issues tend to pass by my radar unseen. If the sentences flow well, and sound right, then I'm not bothered. Also, having heard of the editing woes that Ms. James has run into, I think I'll give her a pass on the entire thing. (AND I already read the 3rd book and am now IMpatiently waiting for the 4th!)
