There is a lot going on here and it’s not tied together as well as it could be. The story can get a bit scattered at times. There is some romance and some action as well mostly this is a mystery though. It’s definitely a light urban fantasy (not really fluffy, but definitely not dark). This is a decently written and overall enjoyable urban fantasy (but set in a small town). However, Daisy always holds back because she is worried about the temptation outing her demonic side. There is a lot of tension between Daisy and Stefan. We learn more about Outcast and how Outcast become that way. They cannot die and they cannot fully live. They are Outcast, stuck between heaven and hell forever. They are basically emotional vampires, but it is more complicated than that. I love the way ghouls are done in this book.
He is the ghoul that has been helping Daisy out. The best side character by far is Stefan. We also spend a lot more time with the local coven and that was enjoyable as well. Cody is your typical werewolf, but him and Daisy have some history and I am interested in why he refuses to get serious with Daisy.
Sinclair obviously has some deep secrets and those are revealed in this book (although they aren’t as deep and dark as I had hoped). However the side characters are very interesting. Honestly she is probably the least interesting character in the book She is continually struggling with her demonic nature, although we never see much of that in the story. She’s a mostly happy go lucky girl, who just happens to be half-demon. She is more comfortable in her role of Hel’s Agent and is learning how to protect herself better from outside influence (both physical and magical). There is a mysterious lawyer of demonic origin who is trying to buy up property and of course Daisy’s struggling to balance her good and evil side.ĭaisy has grown some as a character from the first book. There are some other side storylines going on as well. They will destroy Pemkowat if necessary in order to gain Sinclair’s cooperation. Ends up Sinclair’s family has a history of Obeah sorcery and they want Sinclair to come back to Jamaica. At least she thought Sinclair was normal, until his secrets start coming to light. She is also happily dating normal human Sinclair Palmer. Daisy has gained respect as an Agent of Hel and is continuing to work as a liaison with the police department. Things are settling down for the town of Pemkowet.
The third book in this series, Poison Fruit, is scheduled for an October 2014 release. I don’t like this series quite as well as those two, but overall this is a well done urban fantasy series. I was a huge fan of Carey’s Kushiel’s books and enjoyed her Santa Olivia series as well. This is the second book in the Agent of Hel series by Carey. Stand Alone or Series: 2nd book in the Agent of Hel series
