The action scenes are a little weak but the story is good enough to keep me reading. (

I was really not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. After the last few underwhelming (but at least free) books*, this one came as a surprise. Am on the third now but have had no internet to update.

*Different authors. (

Although I really like fantasy and sci-fi, I did not like the series as it glorified witchcraft. I have the series but stopped with book one. Just not my cup of tea. The writing was fairly good but I did not like the way the story flowed back and forth in time. The older I get the more I appreciate sequence (beginning, middle, end) in stories. A little back story is necessary but this book just didn't flow for me. (

Upon re-read, I knocked it down a star. it's still a fun read, there's just a lot more questions and inconsistencies than I remember from my previous read. (

Book description

Policing relations between Heaven, Hell, and Earth is messy and violent, but Elise Kavanagh and James Faulkner excelled at it-- until coming across a job so brutal that even they couldn't stand to see one more dead body.

Now they've been pretending to be normal for five years, leaving their horrific history a dark secret. Elise works in an office. James owns a business. None of their friends realize they used to be one of the world's best killing teams.

After years of hiding, something stirs. Bodies are vanishing. Demons scurry in the shadows of the night. A child has been possessed.

Some enemies aren't willing to let the secrets of the past stay dead...
