In Diana Rowland's second book in the Kara Gillian series, Blood of the Demon, demon Summoner and Louisiana Police Detective Kara Gillian is back on the job tracking down a killer that does more than just offs its victims, somehow it is eating their essence.
Kara doesn't know who or what could be consuming the essence of a string of victims that appear to be unrelated. Her job is to connect the dots and find the killer. Good thing she has the gift of othersight along with her demon summoning abilities to help her crack this confusing case.
She also has the help of sexy FBI agent Ryan Kristoff who has his own set of powers that even he seems not to be too sure of. Kara doesn't exactly know what all his powers are but at least he's helpful and he is someone that Kara can confide in. Life as a demon summoner can be lonely since everything is so secretive. Especially now that she doesn't even have her aunt, though Kara is struggling to find a way to bring her aunt Tessa's essence back to her body.
She also has the powerful demon lord Rhyzkahl to summon, sexy and so dangerous Kara is torn between her attraction to him and being scared to death of him. He doesn't seem to like Ryan and says he is more than he appears to be. Hmmmm...aren't they all.
Blood of the Demon is a fabulous book. I love the complex interaction between characters and the world building is phenomenal.
Rowland has expertly and seamlessly combined crime drama and the paranormal in a must read series for urban fantasy fans.
This was a great follow up to the first book Mark of the Demon. I eagerly await the next books in the series so I can see where Rowland takes Kara.

Liked your post. Someday I hope to write a book where the royalties will pay for the copies I give away.
