A fine and cosy second entry in the Lana Harvey Reapers Inc series. Our trouble-magnet of a reaper gets to deal with relationship drama, studying new subjects and being stalked by a whip-wielding demon. Fun times to be had indeed.

- I continue to love the way the author adds in bits of religion and mythology and melds it together to make a pretty decent story. You can tell she has researched and has good knowledge of various religions and myths.

- The relationship drama was drawn out. In all honesty, I'm not entirely sure how it lasted as long as it did. And I'm a million times happier with the direction Lana's love life has taken now.

- The ending was explosive but the build up took a long time. I've noticed with both this book and Graveyard Shift that at several points I though the book was ending but then carried of for a few more plot points and chapters. This is a little jarring and occasionally and me thinking "Oh get on with it!".

A fun sequel and continues my cosy recovery from some heavy books. Onto For the Birds!
