The Devil You Know

by Jenna Black

The Devil You Know Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The beautiful. The bad. The possessed.

Some people worship them. Some people fear them. And some people—like Morgan Kingsley—go up against them toe-to-toe, flesh to flesh, and power against power. An exorcist by trade, Morgan is one of the few humans with an aura stronger than her possessor, even though her demon can tease her body senseless. She’s also a woman who has just discovered a shocking truth: everything she once believed about her past, her identity, may have been a lie.

With a family secret exploding around her and a full-scale demon war igniting, Morgan is a key player in an unsettled world. Then a rogue sociopathic demon enters her life with a bang. His name is The Hunter. And since she is the prey, Morgan has only one choice: to hunt The Hunter down—no matter what heartbreaking truths she uncovers along the way….

Synopsis:

Morgan Kingsley, an exorcist with an attitude, returns in this paranormal fantasy follow-up to "The Devil Inside"--but this time a demon is living inside her and Morgan must do everything she can to protect him for the sake of herself and humanity. Original.

About the Author

Jenna Black is your typical writer. Which means she's an "experience junkie." She got her BA in physical anthropology and French from Duke University.

Once upon a time, she dreamed she would be the next Jane Goodall, camping in the bush making fabulous discoveries about primate behavior. Then, during her senior year at Duke, she did some actual research in the field and made this shocking discovery: primates spend something like 80% of their time doing such exciting things as sleeping and eating.

Concluding that this discovery was her life's work in the field of primatology, she then moved on to such varied pastimes as grooming dogs and writing technical documentation. She writes paranormal romance for Tor and urban fantasy for Bantam Dell.

Whew! I'm almost at a loss for words. "The Devil You Know" is book 2 in Jenna Black's Morgan Kinsley, exorcist, series. Absolutely fabulous! BUT, you can't read book two without reading book 1, "The Devil Inside", or you will be way behind the powercurve. Also I should warn you that this book is very dark...I would classify it as Urban fantasy with heavy sexual overtones rather than paranormal romance. Indeed, Dell is marketing this series under Spectra, their Fantasy line.

Morgan is back and she doesn't get much a break from the events of the last book before more excrement strikes the windblower! She's trying to get used to hosting Lugh, trying to go cold turkey from her lover Brian, trying to come to grips with her former-host, now catatonic brother Andy, and trying NOT to kill demon host Adam for just being his normal jerkself. As if that's not enough to deal with, now Lugh appears to be trying to seduce her into letting him 'drive' occasionally, Adam and Dominic seem to want to embarass her by playing kissyface all the time, Raphael is back on the scene and may want to repossess Andy, and Brian won't give up on their relationship regardless of the danger to them both. To top off the list: 1-Lugh tells her there's a mysterious 'blank' in her mind that even he can't penetrate, 2-her parents want Brian to let himself be a host again, and 3-apparently there's a sadistic demon serial killer whose been let loose and pointed straight at her. What's a girl to do?

COULD NOT PUT THIS DOWN! The suspense and tension are tight from the first page to the last. Morgan is just as snarky as ever, and Adam is still HOT. Now she has Lugh in her dreams almost constantly. When she's seen Adam, Lugh dresses like an S&M god, and when she's seen Brian, he dresses like a California surfer...and Lugh is every woman's dream sex toy...unfortunately, he's also the king demon. All Morgan can say is, "Why me?"

If you like your fantasies dark with an edge, don't miss this series. Next book is "The Devil's Due" coming out in December 2008. It's a must-buy for me.
