The story itself was fine though you'll see the ending a mile away. But the Kindle version, at least, is full of errors and typos. Character names change back and forth, and punctuation is often missing, including periods.
In way I like this better then the first book in the series because now I was more familiar with the authors world and Nest is more grown, however, at time this was little predicable.
My main issue and I could be wrong here is that Nest figures out who the daemon is by how the daemon acted around Ross and that it was similar to how the other daemon acted around Gran. However Nest, Ross, and the daemon were never in the same place. The first time Nest and Ross meet she is outside when he comes up in a Taxi and the second he meets her in her hotel lobby.

Also this book could have more meat. I'd like to see Two Bears kick some ass. I think Nest could have another episode where she demonstrated a more mature use of magic. Also this daemon wasn't as calculating as the first. There should have been some more misdirection and manipulation.
Anyway this book was good enough that I stayed up rather late finish it.
