The Trouble with Demons by Lisa Shearin

4.0

Although I'm enjoying this series, there are a lot of things that really bother me when I'm reading it. Firstly, the number of references Raine makes to her acting a certain way because she is part of the Benares family are getting increasingly annoying. Okay, okay, we get it, the Benares family has a bad-ass reputation, can we move on? Another thing that really aggravates me is the number of times that Raine repeats explanations about things she's done in the previous two books... or even within the same book. The reader should be trusted to remember that kind of thing, especially since these books are not exceedingly long. (At least when compared to a lot of other fantasy books) Lastly, it would be nice if Raine didn't have such a devoted fan-following. It seems like everyone who meets her thinks she's the coolest thing ever, with a few notable exceptions (Silvanus, Rudra) who are on the extreme opposite side of the scale with very little personality except EVIL.
