For a Few Demons More
by Kim Harrison
The fifth installment of the urban fantasy-thriller series starring Rachel Morgan arrived from paperback swap the other day and I read through it so quickly that I was done in two days.
Bargaining with demons has left Rachel Morgan in constant danger of losing her soul. The book opens with her waking while sleep walking and possessed with a demon who is searching for something she believes Rachel has. We learn a lot about the world of demons in this book, like only the males cross the lines and when one very crazy female crosses to our side Rachels life gets crazy (er).
The demon that was ransacking her home with no fear of sanctified ground, cause she not only unsanctified the church but damned it. Its not until the human morgue starts to fill up with partially-turned lupine women who have been brutally murdered, that Rachel realizes that someone else knows the Focus still exists and that she may have been betrayed.
With an invitation to her old adversary Trents wedding and Al, who has a score to settle with her freely running about the city in possession of a human body, Rachel has more to worry about than the focus though. 
One of the things that I like about Harrison is that the events in this story carry on plot lines from the previous novels and the development of the characters and the characters relationships in this series. This book, or at least my copy, also included a short story in the back as a thanks to her readers. I like that I didnt have to go buy some anthology with a bunch of other writers that I may or may not like to read this work.
