What, oh what could a demon offer you for your future, for your damnation. What would be worth your soul, anothers, or the suffering of others to be fed and damned by your hand.

Even though I found this book sort of confusing, I very much enjoyed it. I couldn’t stop reading it. I think the first book set my expectations for how this world/ storytelling is, where things just don’t quite make sense. But that’s okay because Darlington is out of hell! Looking forward to the third book.

I have read this book three times.  I absolutely love this book.  Alex brings us back to Yale.  She’s now Dante.  Sure, she still presides over rituals.  But she’s focused on saving Darlington.

And that’s this book.  A book about what lengths a person will take to save someone else and the maybe just maybe a person will go too far.
