A review by ksmarsden
Demon Magic by Linsey Hall
4.0
Del has secured her freedom from the underworld, and stopped the poison that was turning her into an ubilaz demon; but her problems are only just starting.
I received a free copy in return for an honest review.
I enjoyed this second adventure following Del. The first Seeker book concentrated on her getting free from the underworld, whilst coming to terms with her growing attachment to the handsome warden, Roarke. Now, she has to save herself before her new powers overwhelm her and her friends; and in doing so starts to chip away at the mystery that is her past.
The demon-magnet thing was a cool twist, that really helped to add pressure to the treasure hunt, and gave the constant demon attacks that happen in the Dragon Gift series a fresh approach.
As fragments of Del's past start to come through, there are hints that her family life wasn't quite as caring and nurturing as Cass'. And the more that is discovered, the more questions arise. About what she is capable of, what is blocking her; and ultimately what would happen if she died again?
I really enjoyed the expanding of the world we know so far, visiting Cambridge etc. Finding more supernaturals that might not spurn the sisters for their powers.
The Seeker books aren't as carefree and fun as the initial Huntress books, but I guess that's more fitting with Del and her death-related powers. I still didn't feel that Del and Roarke were very distinct from Cass and Aidan, but it was an entertaining adventure all the same.
Speaking of the sisters, definitely Nix's turn next?
That made me chuckle when Nix pretty much stated the same thing in the story. She deserves a rich, good-looking romantic interest, and to find out her past.
I do worry that it'll be along the same lines as Del and Cass' books. You know what I'd really like - it would be awesome to break the mould with making Nix's significant other to be another woman, it would definitely give this series some fresh, new ground to cover. Just a thought.
Anyways, I'm still enjoying this series, and look forward to the next book!
