This was an amazing sequel that I ended up loving even more than the first one. The story picks up where it left off with Anna having dragged the obeheam to hell, leaving Cas wondering what exactly happened to her. He gets haunted by her, seeing her in numerous places and finally decides to bring her back from hell. 
 I don't usually love books with male protagonists but this is an exception. Cas is still the same person we met in anna dressed in blood; he is still brave and kickass and has attitude. I love him so much because he is headstrong and always does what he believes is right. He is hell bent on getting Anna back and is even willing to sacrifice a lot for her. He can be really annoying at times but i still enjoyed reading about him. 
 Anna is back, however not nearly enough. For most of the book, we only get glimpses of her and doesn't properly return till the end. I missed seeing her and wished she was in it more. Thomas and Carmel are back as his friends and sidekicks and we also meet a new character called jestine. She is elusive and cunning and I wasn't completely sure of her at first but then she grew on me. 
 The plot mostly revolves around the gang trying to get anna back which sometimes felt a little slow but was enjoyable all the same. The ending took me by surprise. It felt like the conclusion when i was expecting there to be more books. It was also bittersweet but i liked it.
