Chaos Rises by Pippa DaCosta

4.0

Another great urban fantasy book by Pippa DaCosta, but holy smokes was it complicated. Everything was back and forth, the characters caught in situations that went from bad to worst to catastrophic, all of it leading to a wicked climax, a shocking twist, and an ominous set up. I really really liked the story and found myself fairly sympathetic toward Gem and her choices––and the fact that she had none, and was only trying to do the right thing. At times she frustrated me, especially given her treatment of her supposed ally Torrent, but the more I think about it, the more I understand why she acted the way she did. She's a demon, and demons aren't exactly heroes. Still, the action was intense and she's a strong character, and the ending leaves so many possibilities. I don't know what she's going to do or how the other characters will react when she returns for her retribution. But I do know it's going to be awesome!
