In the second book of Rachel Caine's Devil series, Lucia Garza -- Jazz Callender's partner in the detective agency first seen in Devil's Bargain -- has things she feels best left in her past. Lucia has come to care for Jazz, and in helping try to free Jazz's former police partner from jail, has started to have feelings for Ben. But the machinations from the law firm, its employer and their enemies are escalating. Jazz seems to be a prime target, and Lucia is not about to let them get away with that.

I love Jazz, so I was slightly disappointed to see the point of view of Devil's Due switched to Lucia -- but I ended up loving Lucia just as much! More romance, more intrigue, more stuff blowing up! Woot! This novel is fast paced and gritty, and there's tons more information on a very convoluted past. Loads of fun!
