Devil’s Isle, Book 2

Synopsis: Claire Connolly is a Sensitive, infected with magic when the Veil that divides humanity from the world beyond fell. Magic can easily consume and destroy a Sensitive, and if Claire’s secret is discovered she’ll be locked into the walled district of Devil’s Isle along with every other Paranormal left in the city.

Bounty hunter Liam Quinn discovered Claire’s secret, but refused to turn her in. Together they saved New Orleans from the resurgence of magic that nearly destroyed it. But now a dangerous cult is on the rise, and it will take both Claire and Liam—and magical allies within Devil’s Isle’s towering walls—to defeat the occult threat before magic corrupts them both…

Review: I liked the first novel in the series without reading more from Chloe Neill and I was curious to read more there. I must say that I was anxious to see what would happen between Liam and Claire, and with the paranormal aspect, whether the imprisoned ones or not.

Thus we find our characters facing a new danger. Indeed, a sect named Reveillon is being set up and is determined to destroy all the paranormal and humans protecting them. You can imagine that it will not be to the taste of our heroes who will be determined to act to prevent this. Yet they did not expect that their enemies are so numerous and well equipped!

It took me a little time to get into the story and yet I confess all that happen there is interesting mainly regarding the relationship between Liam and Claire or the identity of Reveillon or their reasons. Alas, after a moment, I felt out of the story and I struggled to re-enter it, I even considered stopping my reading but I hoped it would start again soon enough. I must say that this was the case with the second part, as the clashes swept me much more and I was very curious to see what would happen to our characters. It was thereafter that we discover some very interesting revelations and I’m really curious to see what will happen after such an end! I didn’t expect that at all!

Claire is equal to herself here and is trying to master her gifts by various techniques while trying to take care somehow of her store and the events. In short, a nice story but where I would have liked to have more in a part of the book.

    Sorry this was a tad bit disappointing. I hate it when a book you’re wanting to read falls flat.

  2. Lisa @TenaciousReader

    I’ve been thinking about reading the first one, but may now wait until the next one comes out. I can’t get excited to start a series that disappoints.

    1. Melliane

      I can understand

  3. Jenny @ Supernatural Snark

    That’s how the first book read for me too – slow in the beginning to the point I considered stopping, but then a really strong second half that kept me riveted. Good to know this is the same, now I’m prepared for it and will keep reading to get to that second half!

    1. Melliane

      yes I hope you’ll like it!

    I’m sorry to hear that this takes awhile to get into, not to mention isn’t quite what you wanted. Still, I’m glad you found redeeming qualities in this one–great review! 🙂

  8. Mary Kirkland

    Probably not the book for me but thanks for the honest review.

  9. Jessica @ a GREAT read

    Oh nice! I love Chloe’s Chicagoland Vampires and enjoyed the first one to this series. I might have had a little first book struggle with adapting to a new world and such since her first series is still running, but I did like it! Glad to hear that this one was still enjoyable even with a few mishaps. I have this one waiting for me in my review pile, I just don’t know when I will be getting to it! Hopefully soon! Very nice review!

    1. Melliane

      that would be nice

  10. Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum

    Oh yes I have this one to read soon too. I also enjoyed the first one, but it didn’t blow me away, and I was actually hoping book two would be where things take off. Guess I’ll have to rein in my expectations 🙂

    1. Melliane

      sorry, I’m curious to see your review

  11. anna@herding cats & burning soup

    Aw bummer you had some struggles with it. I enjoyed this one a good bit but didn’t have the first to compare it to. I need to go back and read that one now 🙂
