This is Book Two of The Black Sun's Daughter series. This book was a good read and I really enjoyed it. Although I still do not understand the Black Sun's Daughter reference. I think I liked this book almost as much as I did the first book in the series (see my other review). I like the writing style which is gritty and a little dark, kind of like Devon Monk's writing. I would definitely recommend this series to a friend.
Synopsis (from barnesandnoble.com):
In the battle between good and evil, there's no such thing as a fair fight.
When Jayné Heller's uncle Eric died, she inherited a fortune beyond all her expectations — and a dangerous mission in a world she never knew existed. Reining in demons and supernatural foes is a formidable task, but thankfully Jayné has vast resources and loyal allies to rely on. She'll need both to tackle a bodyswitching serial killer who's taken up residence in New Orleans, a city rich in voodoo lore and dark magic.
Working alongside Karen Black, a highly confident and enigmatic ex-FBI agent, Jayné races to track down the demon's next intended host. But the closer she gets, the more convinced she becomes that nothing in this beautiful, wounded city is exactly as it seems. When shocking secrets come to light, and jealousy and betrayal turn trusted friends into adversaries, Jayné will soon come face-to-face with an enemy that knows her all too well, and won't rest until it has destroyed everything she loves most....

My thoughts: I loved that Jayné did not have to constantly repeat to the other characters in this book how to correctly pronounce her name like she did in book 1. There was not as much love interest going on but there was a new twist in the romance department which I liked. Don't be confused though because this is not a romance book it is an action/mystery paranormal story. There where some surprising elements to the storyline that I did not see coming. I can't wait to see where this story is headed!!
