In DEMON BOUND Caitlin Kittredge brings the reader back to her wondrous world full of demons and magic. This is the second book in the Black London series.

With well-developed characters and a great storyline this is a book that should not be missed. I enjoyed the relationship between Pete and Jack. Jack needs Pete's help but will she give it? Both of the main characters are well developed and full of emotion. Jack and Pete are both scarred and hurt and deal with so much in life. Pete knows Jack is hiding something from her and she intends to find out just what it is. She soon finds out as the demon Jack made his deal with all those years ago comes to collect and finding out that she is a conduit for magic only adds to Pete's life drama. Yet she is a woman that takes all that life throws at her. The interaction and banter between Jack and Pete was a great read. As you read the story you wonder whether or not Jack will survive the demon and if Pete will step up to help him. I enjoyed learning about some of Jack's past and his feelings. As he makes his final decision on what he must do Jack hopes he is doing right by Pete, hoping that he is helping not hindering her.

The reader is taken on a ride into the darker side with this series. This book is fast paced and keeps the readers attention from start to finish. I loved all the different magical entities and powers such as the Hell Hounds and necromancers and fey. This story is fast paced and well written. Everyone should definitely pick this one up. I know I am looking forward to the next installment of this series.

Book Summary

Thirteen years ago, Jack Winter lay dying in a graveyard.  Jack called upon a demon and traded his soul for his life… and now the demon is back to collect its due.  But Jack has finally found something to live for.  Her name is Pete Caldecott, and because of her, Jack's not going to Hell without a fight. 

Pete doesn't know about Jack's bargain, but she does know that something bigger and far more dangerous than Jack's demon is growing in the Black.  Old gods are stirring and spirits are rising--and Jack doesn't stand a chance of stopping them without Pete's help.
