My Review:
I think I can officially say I like this book better than the first one. Jessie Darker is a snarky, funny, bad ass supernatural fighter, only problem is she is bound to a demon, had a demon for a dad and her boyfriend use to be Wrath, one of the deadly sins. All was going somewhat normal for her until she broke a mirror and let out a rather nasty demon.
I thought I knew Jessie in the first book but wow I found out a lot more in this one. The story was really good and you got a better picture of the history of the Darker family and their connection with the Belfair Witches one of whom just so happens to be her BFF Kendra. You also learn a lot more about Jessie's boyfriend Lukas and how he is handling being free of Wrath and living in present day. I love when she calls him Grandpa. Jessie's character is really funny and I laughed out loud quite a few time throughout this book. Her sarcasm is hilarious and even tried a bit of it on Lucifer, which is not a good idea. Jessie is also bound to a demon named Valefar who I found to be rather sexy for a demon of hell.
This book was filled with action, humor, demons and a lot of sexual tension. I loved the story and I adore the characters. I also think the ending was done very well and makes me scream for the next book. I had no problem giving this amazing book 4.5 stars my only issue was everyone just had to many secrets and no one was saying what they were. I still want to know what is really going on...can I have the next book now? Please ;)

I enjoyed finding out more about Jessie's mom and her dad in A Darker Past. I wanted more of them from the first book, so I was excited that Jus Accardo had them more in this story. Damien (Jessie's Dad) is starting to act like a dad. =)
For readers that liked to be warned ahead of time, there is a cliffhanger at the end. I know I have some reader friends that don't like cliffhangers, but this is a series worth reading if you enjoy young adult with a different kind of paranormal twist to it.
Overall, the second book was a delightful, action-packed read that I had a hard time putting down. I give it 4.5 moons and recommend it YA Paranormal readers out there.
Now, to patiently wait for the third book in the series from Jus Accardo. =)

I enjoyed this second one even more than the first. Really interesting to see the way Jessie is trying to deal with her new role as part demon and the new mysteries and challenges to face with her Dad around more. Also loved the development of Kendra in this, though I wanted more of it. Definitely will be looking up the next book in the series.

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! Now how long am I going to have to wait in "cliffhanger-ville" to find out the answers to these questions?!?!?!? CRAP!
Great follow-up to Darker Days. Loved getting to know Jessie, Lukas, Klaire, Damian and Valefar better. Lucifer was an interesting sideline...wonder how he will play out in the future!
I hate all these lingering questions though, because now I have to wait to hopefully find out in the next book...and there sure as hell better be a next book...LOL! Equal, if not slightly better than Darker Days, great continuation of the Shadow Realm building, great storyline, loved the added depth of the characters. Just a might bit slow starting, but once the mirror was broken the book became un-put-down-able.
