I’ve really enjoyed this series overall—it definitely scratches that itch left by Ilona Andrews for urban fantasy with tough-acting protagonists who secretly just need a big hug.
But, (there’s always a but) the books focused on Penny haven’t managed to grab me as much as Raegan’s story did. I’m reading them mostly because you really have to if you want to understand the overarching plot—they’re too interconnected to skip.
The pacing of the story was actually pretty fast, but in the best way possible—it kept things moving and made it easy to stay engaged.
I wasn’t a fan of Emery and Penny’s relationship in this third book. I like Emery as a character, but their relationship felt rushed and, at times, a bit cringy. I also found myself wishing Penny’s character had grown more by the end. It felt like her good heart was too tied to her naivety. I would’ve loved to see her retain that kindness while becoming a bit less naive.
In the end, while these books didn’t captivate me as much as the Raegan-focused ones, they’re still necessary if you’re invested in the series. Skipping them would leave too many gaps in the overall story, so if you’re committed to the saga, these are a must-read—just don’t expect them to reach the same heights as Raegan’s adventures (or just read a summary or something).
That said, one thing I absolutely loved was seeing Raegan through Penny’s eyes. It was such a treat. Penny thinks Raegan is super cool, powerful, and super crazy.

En general me está gustando mucho esta saga (Demon Days & Vampire Nights). Siento que llena ese vacío que me dejó Ilona Andrews de fantasía urbana y protagonistas que se hacen las duras cuando en el fondo solo necesitan un buen abrazo.
Peeero, tengo que decir que los libros centrados en Penny no me atraparon tanto como los de Raegan. Los estoy leyendo más que nada porque, si no lo hago, me pierdo cosas demasiado importantes de la historia general. Es imposible saltártelos porque todo está súper conectado.Así que si estás comprometido con la serie como yo, tienes que leerlos si o sí (o lee un resumen, tiene que haber alguno online
