3.5 stars 
 I had much resistance to the thought of getting involved in yet another UF world, which made my reading very slow going at first. But resistance was futile. 
 I liked Rachel, she felt real. She wasn't a super-speshul snowflake (you know, all powerful, successful and efficient), nor was she whiny. I liked that she was lazy about cooking up her own spells and relied on ready-made. :) In fact, I liked her enough that I'm going to be reading more of this series. (Even knowing that this is UF and that KH has no problem killing beloved characters if the plot/series requires it.) 
 Spoilery questions I'll hopefully get answers to in future books: (view spoiler)[ 
 - What is Trent? 
 - Who sent the demon? 
 - When did Ivy move into the church? What's her motive? (hide spoiler)]
