This book is not as good as the first book, but still very well written. In this story, Claire and Dean get to be a couple, but when little sister Diana's happy generator gets generates a little too much energy, its up to Claire to fix the problem, try to keep Dean out of harms way, and keep the cat happy.

There is not a lot of of depth in this novel. All the characters seem to be made of the same snarky mold, with a few exceptions thrown in. It can be hard to follow a conversation. Hell this time around is just not as cool, although the demon is quite awesome.

Its a good addition to the series, but not anything great. ( )

I love this one. Very, very funny.

A slightly confused angel just got off a bus in Toronto:

"Greenstreet Mission. We're doing a Christmas dinner. You can get a meal and hear the word of God."

Samuel smiled in relief. This, finally, he understood. "Which word?"

"What?"

"Well, God's said a lot of words, you know, and a word like it or the wouldn't be worth hearing again but it's always fun listening to Him try to say aluminium." ( )

The Second Summoning picks up where Summon the Keeper left off. Claire and Dean are travelling around taking care of various sites. Although, they've acknowledged the attraction between them, they still haven't taken their relationship to the next level. Claire's sister Diana is on hand to create some mayhem that the whole group must take care of.

This second installment wasn't as compelling as the first. A lot of time was spent on would they are wouldn't they, and then a lot of time was spent with secondary characters. In this sense the story was more scattered. Ms. Huff does a good job of pulling it all together in the end and resolving everything. It's just that none of the characters seemed to get enough development to make them as interesting as the first book. ( )

I love this series. I enjoy the cat and the by-play of all of the characters. ( )
