Book 2 picks up where book 1 left off with Jake and Pete at the bank. Jake learns what is in the box and that he will need help. At this point, Ben gets added to the small group and it is him who helps Jake determine what all the runes on his body mean and what is expected of him. He also learns he'll have not only the lower caste of demons after him, but he'll also have to face his "alter ego", the ultimate, really strong opponent every hero faces. The book was well written and flowed pretty good, but similar to the first, I wish it were longer.And maybe it is just me, but the Ben seems to have had a really easy time deciphering the runes...the language is ancient, but he just happened to have the books available to be able to read it? Not impossible, but hey, when something seems difficult, I expect it to be a little more difficult to get the results. At least we also learn Maire hasn't abandoned him either. She may not be part of the "find the answers and fulfill destiny" team, but she hasn't completely left the picture leaving Jake with no one who cared for him before his 18th birthday.Now I just need to wait for the next installment.
