I liked this book. It was darker then most Jennifer Crusie books, but still was lighthearted enough to please most of her fans. I had not read the other books by Crusie and Mayer but plan to. Even though two people wrote the book you cannot tell, their writing styles go together well. I liked the idea that the demons were given flaws and real personalities instead of just being some evil thing that was killed or locked away, and that they actually became characters that interacted with people in the book. It was a fun quick read and had enough paranormal events to satisfy me, but still was a fun romance that had a happy ending.

I really enjoyed this roller coaster ride of demons and love. Mary Alice Brannigan (Mab) is restoring the old amusement park for a Halloween scream weekend. The parks main focus is maintaining the five untouchable demons (including the devil) that are encased in iron statues around the park. It is the job of The Guardia - Ethan, Glenda, Gus, Delpha and Young Fred - to keep the demons locked up and keep them from causing chaos. Of course, the devil has convinced one of them to help the demons escape. The adventures (and fights) are great and entertaining. Even the romance between Ethan and Weaver; and Mab and Joe are fun to read.
It starts as if in the middle of the story and you play catch up until you figure out what is going on. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Nothing new - demons wanting souls, romance between mismatched pairs, guardians fighting for the good for the good of humans - but a very catchy and entertaining back story.
