I picked this up at a second-hand bookstore, unaware that it was the second in the series. I got major hints that I wasn't the series start when I started reading, but it hasn't been difficult at all to pick up what's going on in this second book. Kudos to the author for that! The concept for this world is a lot of fun, too. Definitely a fun read. ( ) This is [a:Nancy Holzner|2184228|Nancy Holzner|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1294515253p2/2184228.jpg]'s second book about Vicky, a shapeshifter and demon slayer. If you have a problem with demons then she will come in and fix it, even while you dream if that's where they are haunting you. She is the girl to call. No job is too small. I was not in love with book 1, it was good, but for some reason I had issues with it. But I still wanted to know what happened and here something showed up that gave me that drive to really want to know. Now I can't tell you because that is a spoiler. But i t gets interesting when something bad happens..is happening...The stakes are high, the fight is on, there is drama and most of all, questions. Questions that made me sit up in my chair wanting to scream. I needed to know, and then I know. And then, well then I needed to see it finished. What can I say, something good happens (ok bad, but you get the picture). It's interesting and it will keep you turning the page faster and faster. It's hard to say anything about this book without spoiling it all. Vicky will fight for her life again. Things are not easy in Boston. Her werewolf boyfriend is in DC trying to give everyone rights. The zombies in Deadtown are preparing for a concert and demons are popping up as usual. Romance then, Kane is away in DC and she misses him. All while seeing the human cop Daniel, whom she also likes. But there is never a triangle going on. It's more that she is dating, Kane is always busy. But I did start to like Kane more in this on e. The book is better than the first in my opinion, and hopefully it will get better and better. In [b:Deadtown|6591459|Deadtown (Deadtown, #1)|Nancy Holzner|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348796183s/6591459.jpg|6785037] Vicky encountered the demon who killed her father and marked her for possession. She thought she'd bound him--but it seems that instead, he's bound her. Meanwhile, a spirit of ravenous hunger has descended upon Boston, which is only worsening the tense relations between paranormal Americans and norms. (In this universe, paranormals are public knowledge but aren't considered human in most states; even in Massachusetts they are relegated to a ghetto, can only travel with permits, and their deaths aren't considered worthy of investigation by the police force. Vicky's on-and-off werewolf boyfriend is a lawyer constantly tries to get equal rights. It's a cool undercurrent to the series, because the characters accept the situation pretty calmly, while we readers are aghast.) Vicky returns to Wales to train with her wise aunt Mab, but all her martial skill may not save her--or the world. The pacing is a little episodic, but overall Holzner does a good job of providing several little fights to remind us of Vicky's skills, one large problem to solve in this book, and hints of coming threats. Vicky herself is competent and sensible; I wish she had a little more interior life but I am thrilled that she isn't constantly pondering her romantic prospects.
