This book opens with Morgan visiting her office. Which makes me realize, for someone who makes their living as an exorcist, she certainly hasn't been doing many exorcisms. Which is disappointing, as the fact that she's an exorcist is always mentioned in the blurbs and covers, but really, she could be a baker for all that you know. The exorcist thing is important in the set-up for the first book and the beginning of this book, but really is more of a side note than a main theme.
Anyway, the book opens with a distraught mother asking Morgan to perform an illegal exorcism (which is treated like murder if you're found out). Morgan agrees that it sounds suspicious and asks Adam (the demon cop) to look into it. Of course, shenanigans ensue.
The characters haven't changed much from the last book into this book. Morgan is still very prickly, unwilling to trust people and very good at annoying people until they hit her. Her boyfriend is still trying to make things work with her, though I can't for the life of me understand why. The biggest change is that Lugh has decided that it's time to start acting like the Demon King, which is nice.
If you liked the first two books, you'll still like this one. However, I was borderline about the last book, and during the middle of a scene with Morgan's boyfriend I suddenly realized that I just didn't care about Morgan or what happens to her. I skimmed the rest of the book, but never found my enthusiasm for the story again.

I love this series! Morgan is one kick-a$$ chick, but she always knows her faults and admits them. In this book Morgan is approached by a mother that claims her son has been taken over by a demon against his will, but all evidence shows that it was a legal demon...
As Morgan digs deeper and realizes that the boy, a member of God's Wraith (the demon hate group), was actually a part of something else all together, and now, it's getting more personal. With thugs coming to beat her and warn her off and a scary hostage situation, she has to put her trust into Raphael, but will he really help, or will he betray her as soon as he gets the chance?
This book had alot less sex then the last 2 books, only 1 breif scene. It was suspence and action and just an all around great read. Can't wait for book 4 coming in July!!
