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.
