Marcella Acosta managed to do the one thing forbidden to demons - she defied
Lucifer and ended up banished to limbo, a boring shop-free zone which she refers
to as Plane Drab. Marcella stood against Lucifer to save her friend Delaney, so
when she finds her now ghostly self summoned back to earth by Delaney's brother
Kellen all she wants to do is check in on her friend. But Delaney has other
ideas and ropes Marcella in to help Kellen with his newfound mediumship
abilities. Marcella and Kellen have always clashed, but they're about to
discover that beneath the surface they aren't that incompatible after
all.
I recently read and enjoyed Kiss & Hell so I was really looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint.
If anything I actually enjoyed this more than its predecessor. Marcella and
Kellen are more fun than Delaney and Clyde, and the love/hate banter they have
throughout the book is hilarious. Marcella is adjusting to being a ghost after
being a reluctant demon, and finally all the hints about how someone who would
sacrifice themselves for a friend in the last book could end up as a demon are
revealed. I also liked how the attraction/repulsion between Marcella and Kellen
was carried forward from Kiss & Hell.
The supporting characters are great and become key to the
storyline very quickly. Delaney and Clyde return with small roles, as do Mrs
Ramirez and Delaney's ghost dog Darwin. Mrs Ramirez's grandson Carlos is a big
part of the book as a young medium who is being tormented by demons. I actually
liked how this storyline was played out alongside the romance as it really gives
the book depth. The storyline also moves a bit faster (though still at quite a
leisurely pace) because of this. There's also a new reluctant demon Catalina,
who I would love to see in her own book.
The only thing that bugged me a
little about the book is that I figured out the connection between Marcella and
Carlos quite early on, but I didn't figure out the specifics so I was still a
little surprised.
All in all, this is a fun and highly recommended
read.
