The Devil's Playground by Jenna Black

A romance triangle is the least of Morgan’s worries when a demon wants to kill her and the demon she possesses.

Morgan Kingsley is an exorcist, probably the best in the world. Therefore, it is ironic  that she is possessed by the demon King Lugh.  Morgan and her boyfriend have been through a lot together, but Brian may have reached his limit. 

Lugh reveals to Morgan that not only does he desire her, but he desires Brian as well.  Brian doesn’t take well to the news that he has to accept Lugh with Morgan as a package deal, so he pushes Morgan away.  Morgan realizes it will take some time for Brian to come to terms with it, and she grants him that space, even though it hurts.

When Shae, the owner of the Seven Deadly Sins Club, comes to Morgan with information about a sudden influx of demons showing up lately, in unwilling human hosts, Morgan and Lugh believe Dougal is behind it.  Dougal is Lugh’s brother and he will do anything to get the throne, even kill Lugh.  But to get to Lugh, he’ll have to go through Morgan first, and she hopes that Lugh’s Royal Council has a good enough plan that they can all live through.

THE DEVIL’S PLAYGROUND is a sensational addition to the Morgan Kingsley series.  There is a lot of character growth for Morgan and Brian, as well as real progress with the problem of Dougal trying to take over Lugh’s throne.  Romance, turmoil, character conflict, and a page-turning plot mesh together admirably.  Paranormal and urban fantasy fans will love this!

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
