A romance triangle is the least of Morgans worries when a demon wants to kill her and the demon she possesses.

Morgan Kingsley is an exorcist, probably the best in the world. Therefore, it is ironic that she is possessed by the demon King Lugh. Morgan and her boyfriend have been through a lot together, but Brian may have reached his limit.

Lugh reveals to Morgan that not only does he desire her, but he desires Brian as well. Brian doesnt take well to the news that he has to accept Lugh with Morgan as a package deal, so he pushes Morgan away. Morgan realizes it will take some time for Brian to come to terms with it, and she grants him that space, even though it hurts.

When Shae, the owner of the Seven Deadly Sins Club, comes to Morgan with information about a sudden influx of demons showing up lately, in unwilling human hosts, Morgan and Lugh believe Dougal is behind it. Dougal is Lughs brother and he will do anything to get the throne, even kill Lugh. But to get to Lugh, hell have to go through Morgan first, and she hopes that Lughs Royal Council has a good enough plan that they can all live through.

THE DEVILS PLAYGROUND is a sensational addition to the Morgan Kingsley series. There is a lot of character growth for Morgan and Brian, as well as real progress with the problem of Dougal trying to take over Lughs throne. Romance, turmoil, character conflict, and a page-turning plot mesh together admirably. Paranormal and urban fantasy fans will love this!
