Higher Demon by Louisa Masters

My Review

5 stars 🍩

What can you really say? Oh my god, I love the banter between Marc & Ian it was pure snarky perfection. Their dynamic was just so much fun! And absolutely adored Marc did everything in his power to make sure Ian knew this was all his choice even if he was the one with more power in the relationship. It showed an understanding that was needed. Just ugh absolutely adored this book and can not wait to see Matt find his happiness. This family's dynamics are one you want to have and can understand how they all love each other, even while passing the other off. And we get a Connor cameo in all his surly gloriness!

Book overview

No matter the demon, the hunter's role is clear…

A thousand years ago, my great-something uncle founded the Collective, a secret organization dedicated to protecting humanity from demons. The hunter tradition has been passed down over the generations, from parent to child, secure in the knowledge that the Collective is a community of safety and knowledge.

But betrayal sucks, and six years ago, it turned my world—and the Collective—upside down. After generations of deception, the hunters left behind are picking up the pieces and trying something we’ve never done before—working side by side with our enemy.

Demons, just to be clear. They’re apparently “misunderstood,” but the jury is still out on that. And I—a twentysomething archivist with an addiction to hoodies—somehow ended up as liaison to the demon ambassador.

If it sounds like a nightmare, that’s because it is. The demon ambassador is a stuck-up, pretentious twat... not to mention he could kill me with a thought. Worst of all, he’s getting under my skin in ways I never expected. But I’m the only hunter who doesn’t actively want to kill him, so… tag, I’m it.

I’ve already been betrayed by those I should have been able to trust the most. How hard can hanging out with a higher demon be?

The author recommends reading the Ghostly Guardian series for full background on what happened six years ago, though it's not essential.
