Demon Mistress

I loved this book, and I am finding that I like Menolly more and more. Camille has always been my favorite, but now Menolly is starting to move up on my list of favorite novel characters.

menolly takes on new lovers, and must save her sister froma life sucking demon, on the astral plane. Throw in some stupid, murderous college kids, bent on releasing Shadow wing, the odd ghoul and you have one heck of a summer for these sisters...

I love this series! Each new book expands the storyline, the characters and the worlds a little bit more.

The battle the sisters and their lovers/friends are fighting against Shadow Wing takes a backseat in this installment, as the matter of the disappearances and murders of Fae women are investigated by the D'Artigo sisters.

There are also unattended Ghouls running amok and causing trouble in Seattle, meaning a Necromancer is in residence somewhere.

As always Yasmine Galanorn does a fantastic job of creating a fully detailed and realistic world for her characters, and the characters too are multi-faceted with every detail described, from what they wear and eat, to how they think and interact with other characters. Even the secondary characters are fully described so you can really connect with them as the story progresses.

The plot itself has so many aspects that the books are far more than just a battle between the sisters and the ultimate evil of the demon Shadow Wing. The various Seelie, Unseelie and Humans all have agendas and there are "good guys" and "bad guys" in each group, so you - and the sisters D'Artigo - never really know who to trust. That keeps the multiple plot lines in story exciting and keeps you wanting more and flying through the book.

The sisters are evolving with each book - either gaining new powers, or developing new alliances with various powers or beings - and that keeps the story fresh and intriguing even though this is the sixth book of the series. I still can't wait to read the next installment in this series and have not been disappointed by any of these books. Galanorn has obviously got a complete and detailed vision of the world the sisters live in and all the developments of each of their stories fully fleshed out in her head.

This is a series that never lets you down. If you like paranormal fiction, this series by Galanorn is a winner. I highly recommend it.
