Really enjoyed this second book in the series. I liked the struggle for the main characters to find harmony together and the resolution they came to between their past and future.

Content Notes: These are neither tropes nor warnings. None.
Content/Trigger Warnings/Enticements: 

I received an advanced reader copy of this book, and this is my voluntary, honest review. 

Quote: Joan’s power is tremulous and gentle. Less metallic and more botanic, like lavender and chamomile and sunshine. 

This picks up after book 1, and there’s some shady stuff going down.  Rhett enters the picture to find a witch who’s stealing crystals from the demon realm, and he’s left in Joan’s car while in the human world. 

One day I will crawl out of Leigh Miller’s pocket where I reside like a little dragon to be fed whatever she writes, but it’s not today. It might not be this decade. Or this century. Book dragon’s unite. I freaking love when we get plot along with a delicious love story, and this provides.  There’s something not right in the Demon world and the demons and witches have to work together, while Esme, the Coven’s head, has her own political motivations. Deliciousness. 

I love this world. Consider me a fandragon.
