A Darker Past: Review

From Goodreads:
The past is Darker than they thought...

Between helping her mother with the Darker Agency and laying the smack down on monster baddies, Jessie Darker puts the “normal” in paranormal. But lately, things have gotten a little crazy...even for a smart-assed half-demon teenage girl.

For starters, Jessie’s been contracted into fifty-five years of annoying servitude. To a demon. Then there’s Lukas Scott, her sexy new boyfriend. Once the former incarnation of Wrath, he’s been going through some...uh, changes. Like residual anger. And trading chaste hangouts for lusty make-out sessions.

But it’s when Lukas and Jessie accidentally release a Very Nasty Demon that things get really bad, setting into motion a chain of death and mayhem that threatens both Earth and the Shadow Realm. Jessie has exactly four days to fix it...before all of Hell breaks loose.

My Review:
Ah, it was nice to read this book so soon after Darker Days! It was just so entertaining, and things just picked up right away, and yeah, I just really enjoyed being with these characters again! Plus, well, VND, lots of stuff happening!

Well, you feel bad for Jessie, because the end of Darker Days meant for some hard choices, ones that she shouldn't have had to make. But then here is, going on with her life, which is a good and bad thing-because now there's the whole 4 day countdown!

I think it was kinda expected that Lukas would have some remnants of Wrath's attitude, I mean, he housed him for a bit, it just kinda made sense. Add all the secrets there, and in her family history, and everything that's going on, well, yeah, the ending just came for there, just made sense!

This book gave a new meaning to break a mirror and have 7 years of bad luck. Well, this is potential bad luck, because they do have a countdown, but if they don't make it, then, well, the bad luck will last far longer then 7 years!

Really enjoyed this book, and yeah, a 3rd book wouldn't be neglected by me!
