Lisa Shearin: The Trouble with Demons
The third Raine Benares book which follows on immediately from the other two, picking up where 'Armed and Magical' left off with Raine on the Island on Mid having escaped from the clutches of the Elvan Embassy and various Goblin hoards, having discovered that an earlier keeper of the Saghred (soul-sucking stone of unimaginable power) is alive after all and Wants It Back. Rain is caught between two gorgeous men, Goblin dark mage Tamnais Nathrach and brighter-than-white leader of the guardians, Mychael Eiliesor. She's powerfully attracted to both of them - and them to her, though she doesn't quite believe Mychael, since a lawman is not generally after her, but more likel.y after her larcenous family.
So in this book there's an attack of demons. Someone is opening a hellgate and trouble is pouring through. It's all about the Saghred, of course. Everyone wants it and Raine together with her few friends - Mychael, Tam, Piaras, the young spellsinger and pirate Cousin Phaelan and Uncle Ryn - have to keep it away from all the many factions who would use it for bad purposes - and that even includes some of the mages who are supposed to be on their side. There's a key that will unlock the Saghred and release some of the trapped souls, but when those souls include the Demon King and Sarad Nukpana, the Big Bad from book one, Raine would rather keep it all locked up tight. Please.
Hijinks ensue. Raine's wonderfully wisecracking voice is infectious, her larcenous family is delightful and the two love interests... err... interesting (and sexy). Magic, action and a touch of romance. This series just keeps getting better. What's not to like?
