Product Description:
The beautiful. The bad. The possessed.
Some people worship them. Some people fear them. And some people—like Morgan Kingsley—go up against them toe-to-toe, flesh to flesh, and power against power. An exorcist by trade, Morgan is one of the few humans with an aura stronger than her possessor, even though her demon can tease her body senseless. She’s also a woman who has just discovered a shocking truth: everything she once believed about her past, her identity, may have been a lie.
With a family secret exploding around her and a full-scale demon war igniting, Morgan is a key player in an unsettled world. Then a rogue sociopathic demon enters her life with a bang. His name is The Hunter. And since she is the prey, Morgan has only one choice: to hunt The Hunter down—no matter what heartbreaking truths she uncovers along the way….

This story is about Morgan Kingsley, exorcist. She has been possessed by the king of demons, Lugh. Lugh's brother sends a demon called The Hunter after Morgan to kill Lugh. So, she tries to protect those she loved from being used as a demon host then dumped like the vegetables the become when he is done.
Along with that, Morgan's history comes into light. Her mother was raped and Morgan was born from it. She then learns that a forced possession was performed when she was thirteen. But there is something about her biological father that is special because Lugh's brother decided not to kill her after the possession had problems.
This series is getting better, there is more than meets the eyes with it. Plus, bringing back Brian with a dark twist is always good. I cannot wait to read the subsequent book.

I was so engrossed in the book, I did not want to put it down... Love where the characters are going.. The plot is so different.. I am biting at the bit for the subsequent one in the series...

I felt that this wasn't as good as the very first in the series, but it's definitely worth the read.

This series is similar to Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series. I like the similarities and differences. I felt like many of the criticisms from the very first book were addressed in this second book. I do agree that there was a bit too much self examination by Morgan in this book, but I was happy with the plot and the ending. I cannot wait for book 3. Oh, and the dynamics, not the sex, between Adam, Dominic, and Morgan, are wonderful. Adam and Dominic can help Morgan grow up in order to move on from Brian, or move forward with Brian.

Demons exists among us. They reside in willing (mostly) hosts. The human part of the body is almost, if not completely, overshadowed by the demon. Some people, such as the members of the Spirit Society, worship them. They begin grooming their kids early so they will agree to let a demon possess them. Other people, such as Morgan Kingsley, refuse. Morgan is an exorcist by trade. Against her will, and unknowing by her, Morgan was possessed by the Lugh, the King of the Demon Realm. Lugh did not possess the exorcist willingly either. The event was forced upon both of them. Morgan's aura is stronger than her possessor. Anyone examining her aura sees nothing of the demon within. Lugh and Morgan are slowly coming to grips with each other. Lugh cannot take over Morgan while she is awake, but can when she is asleep. They communicate within Morgan's dreams, where Lugh tries his best to seduce the lovely human even while telling her what demon will most likely try to kill her next.
The Demon civil war is about to escalate. One of Lugh's brothers is trying to kill him (Dougal). The other demon brother is an enigma (Raphael). Morgan is a key player in the whole mess. Her brother, Andrew "Andy", comes out of his state of catatonia (beginning of book so it is not a spoiler), but refuses to tell Morgan the secrets that his previous demon possessor, Dougal, let him be aware of. Chances are still great that Dougal will permanently silence Andy anyway.
Brian, Morgan's ex-boyfriend and a lawyer, is not ready to give up on Morgan. He is determined to win her back. He has no idea about Lugh though. Even worse, Morgan learns she is a hybrid. Her mother never told Morgan that the man who helped raise her is not her biological father. Yet it explains why Morgan's parents never cared for her nearly as much as they did Andy. As Morgan digs into her past and researches her biological father, the information which turns up goes from bad to worse.
**** This time Morgan has the demon equivalent of a rogue sociopath after her. Well, the demon is after Lugh, but does not know that Lugh is still within Morgan. Andy and Brian play a larger role in this episode as well. I found myself liking Brian, where before I was not too sure how to feel about the man. There is an erotic part or two, but they are brief. (Lugh's doing, of course.)
The author, Jenna Black, fleshes out the back ground of the main characters for readers and tosses in an unexpected twist or two for good measure. This is not fast paced, but flows along at a very steady rate. You do not have to read the very first book to understand what is going on; however, if you do not you may not understand some references. I seriously recommend reading The Devil Inside before beginning this book. In the very back of this book, you will get to read the beginning of book three, The Devil's Due, which is dated to be released November 25, 2008. Jenna Black is carving a well deserved reputation in the paranormal field. Fabulous! ****
