I didn’t feel super into this book but I wanted to. It was really good in theory but was lacking a little.

A well-done follow-up to the first novel. Same strengths (e.g. pacing, plot points, characters) and weaknesses (e.g. super abrupt ending) as the first. Still lots of fun, and it didn't get as angsty as I was afraid it would.

It's been exactly two years since I read the first and loved it. I waited so long for my library to get this sequel and then the moment I started it I realized I don't want this. I don't like that this takes place minutes after the last one. It feels tacked on and unnecessary. I feel like I'd have to reread the first before starting this and then why read it at all.

I'm so glad she left out all the unnecessary Harry Potter references in this one.

"Oh, wow, Hell is not going to know what hit it."

On a date where everything goes wrong: tracking down a wayward soul, embarking on a quest for the Holy Grail, and more good vs evil shenanigans The Date from Hell has more fun in store for Callie and Luke in this new-adult romantic adventure sequel. Bonds turns up the heat with some added spice, laugh-out-loud humor, a fantastic cast of characters and some fun surprises. For me, the sequel is even better than the original!
