Review

I received this book from the publicist in return for a honest review. Nat has left the house in the hands of his apprentice Demonkeeper Richie with the help of Lilli a full fledged Demonkeeper. Nick sets off to find the water demon that was responsible for the death of his parents and let loose when they defeated the "Thin Man's Minions in the first one.  While Nat is away Chaos from the demons he saved from the Demoneater was eating them all in the house. The house is a shamble from all the destruction during that night, and tons of demons have been let loose over the city of Seattle. 

While Nick uses his mentors boat the Wanderer in his adventure almost drowning when the water demon attempts to kill Nat and succeeds in destroying the Wanderer. Nat washes up on the shore of a garbage island where he meets Karma a worker who wants to escape from the island, and knows that Nat is the ticket she needs. 

While Nat is off on his own adventure the team Richie, Sandy and Lilli who has decided to stay behind to help rebuild the demon house after it was almost destroyed. The team also attempts to catch the demons that had been released from the house because they are now causing Chaos throughout the city. The team saves a ferry from sinking into the ocean because of the wind demon and the mayor of Seattle makes them a special team to help out with the Chaos. 

I really enjoyed the team aspect of the second book, and found this one didn't have that as much Nat who was the start of the first two went off and did his own thing while the others are left on their own. I understand why he felt he needed to leave but I would have preferred to see him stay home and work on his growing relationship with Sandy. Nat also kind of comes off as if he's into all the female characters of the book, and I felt that Nat had a new love interest each book which I didn't care for. I really like the demons in the book they have fun personalities. Overall it's a fun fast pasted story, that draws the read in and keeps you entertained for the entire time of the book. This book doesn't really have much gore in it like the second one, so I don't see why anyone would have any issues reading it.
