Vengeance of the Demon

DAW, Apr 7 2015, $7.99
ISBN: 9780756408268
Demon lords abetted by a summoner tampered with the energy
nodes. As such the demon realm turns
nasty; with the ugliness overflowing onto the earth. If left as is, demons could cross over
without a summoning but also intensify the growing instability on both sides
until it becomes irreversibly lethal.
Summoner of demons Kara Gillian knows she must bring order back
starting with fixing the nodes. Fuming
at his peers’ dangerous foolishness, Kadir the demon lord, Idris, Bryce and
others assist Kara. At the same time the
police are interested in questioning Kara as a witness reported seeing her near
Farouche when he was murdered at the Plantation.
The seventh Kara Gilliam demon urban fantasy (see Fury Of The
Demon and Touch of the Demon) is an entertaining entry with a lot going on
(several more subplots than above), but very little resolved; as Vengeance
reads more like a setup novel for the next act or two. Kara has come a long way since the Mark and
as usual the ensemble cast adds depth to a likable tale.
