Assumpta Mary-Margaret O’Connor’s demon mark makes her fair game for any passing demon and an attractive bargaining chip in the political alliances of Hell. Both courted and stalked by demons, she realizes she’ll never have peace until she rids herself of the demon’s mark. With the aid of her pendulum and the help of Brona Daly resident ghost of Baltimore’s Enoch Pratt Library Assumpta discovers the one sure-fire way to get rid of the mark: make a deal with the demon who marked her. While Assumpta prepares for battle, Jak the spirit she rescued from a demonic urn rejoins her, bringing aid in the form of five Roman legionnaires and Saint Michael, the Archangel. Even with ghostly, and Heavenly help, can Assumpta preserve her life and her soul when she goes to Hell to challenge the demon who marked her?

Review

For someone who doesn’t usually read this genre of book, I am gobbling them up like they are the only books on the planet. I love them. The imagery in this book just blew me away, it brought the scenes to life, and I could envision every scene perfectly. In book two of the series, Assumpta is on a breath-taking, action-packed journey to save her soul with help from the heavenly realms. The plot rattles along at a rapid clip and the reader is dragged along for the ride. And what a glorious ride it was. I was rooting for Assumpta every step of the way and felt I was right there next to her. I think I have found my new favourite Author in Kelly A. Harmon; she certainly writes stories the reader will never forget. Although this is a stand-alone book, I feel it would be better to start with the first book in the series. I am very much looking forward to reading the third.
