Vengeance of the Demon

by Diana Rowland

Overview

Demon summoner Kara Gillian is on the wrong side of the law—and there’s evidence to prove it. Too bad the courts don’t accept “fighting demonic forces” as justification for murder and mayhem.
 
Yet Kara has problems that go way beyond her legal woes. When the enemy demonic lords spur their human accomplices into high gear, master summoner Katashi aggressively pursues their goal to establish a permanent gate between Earth and the demon realm. To hell with the consequences for humanity.
 
The line between ally and enemy blurs as Kara gathers the remnants of her posse to prevent a devastating demonic incursion, but a shattered trust may cost them the war and put Kara behind bars. With treachery rife, and her loved ones in danger, Kara must call upon the essence of who she truly is in order to rally back from a crushing loss.
 
And if she can’t, the world is going straight to hell.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Rowland completely upends the Kara Gillan series in this installment. Everything we thought we knew about the inhabitants of Rowland’s universe is called into question, with devastating results. Rising star Rowland kicks it into a whole new gear with this outstanding story that is heartbreaking, terrifying, and utterly thrilling!" —RT Reviews (top pick GOLD)

"I was awestruck at the twists and turns and the, "Oh man, why didn't I see that before!" ... This series is top-notch in the genre. Gritty and dark, this is really good reading!" —Felicia Day

"A killer mid-series offering. It’s hard to believe that any book could create as much anticipation as the climactic end of Sins of the Demon, but Touch of the Demon opens up a whole new world, mythology, and love life for Kara." —All Things Urban Fantasy

"Touch of the Demon is hands down the darkest, grittiest installment yet, and it was absolutely fantastic." —Sweet Tidbits

"I don’t think there’s a world quite like these books, nor do I think there’s a character quite like Kara.... It’s a truly excellent book, and my main problem now is that it’s set such very high expectations for the whole year." —Fangs for the Fantasy

"Diana Rowland knows what Urban Fantasy readers want, and she delivers every time! ... Ms. Rowland gets two thumbs up for a job well done. I absolutely cannot wait for more!" —Night Owl Reviews

"While drastically different than any one of the books in this series, it is by far the one most packed with story and evolution. A perfect change of pace, upping the conflict and mystery in one fell swoop. It will leave you chomping at the bit for the next one." —Zombie Joe

"The changes here will breathe fresh air into an already exceptional series for several more novels.... Five-star reading and twists you never thought of are coming." —Wicked Scribes

"A nifty combination of police procedural and urban fantasy." —Charlaine Harris
