I really liked the first book in this series. This one didn't quite keep it up for me. I felt like it got a little convoluted (a little like that in the end of the first book too). I know all the "coincidences" are often explained away (with the "summoning" power, etc) but still, too many things just happened to happen. I was good with the initial search for Rachel, setting up this storyline. Then when it shifted to tracking down the bad guy they just happened to run into. Now I realize, he's a bad guy, he's involved in gathering girls for the sex trade ... but still, he feels darker, more evil, then the serial killer who raped and murdered a dozen girls in book 1 (I know Sloan didn't originally "feel" him because she ran into him at the prison, where she was already feeling a ton of bad feelings, and I realize she had popped a Xanax, but to have this new guy almost knock her out completely ... it seemed inconsistent to me).

I enjoyed much of the banter ("Hi Kettle. This is Pit. You're Black" and "I envied the houses that were dark and untouched by the cruelty of morning"), but still some of the interactions felt forced. Not quite buying the threesome relationship between Sloan and the two guys.

Then the whole introduction of the angel angle ... interesting, but a little over the top (not even the usual "nephilim" as other books have addressed, but "Seremorta" and then the showdown at the end.

I think I'll continue on with the series (waiting until next month, borrowing for my Prime Pick from the Kindle Lending Library) and see how I feel another book in ...
