Publisher's Weekly Review
Frost's lively sequel to Hounding the Moon (2006) finds Tess Noncoire, fantasy writer and Warrior of the Celestial Blade, literally haunted by the ghost of her dead husband, Dill, and on the run from the vengeful widow of a Windago demon. Tess doesn't need more trouble, but she gets it anyway when WindScribe, a member of her aunt MoonFeather's coven, reappears-unaged, naked and hounded by "garden gnomes with teeth"-after vanishing 28 years before. The gnomes, actually demonic Orculli trolls, are guards bent on returning WindScribe to a pandimensional prison for unspecified crimes. Meanwhile, Tess's mom has fallen in love with Darren Estevez, Damiri demon and stepfather of Tess's mysterious love interest, Donovan. Frost juggles several plot lines and occasionally drops a few, but the ever-changing mix of mundane and supernatural elements keeps the story interesting. Fans of Anne McCaffrey and Marion Zimmer Bradley are most likely to enjoy this slightly screwball fantasy adventure leavened with touches of soap opera. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Library Journal Review
Unknown to her readership, fantasy novelist Tess Noncoire bases her stories on her own adventures as a member of the Sisterhood of the Celestial Blade Warriors, dedicated to protecting the world from invasion by demons. When a trip home to New England turns into an out-of-control nightmare including a vengeful Windago, her mother's demon suitor, a large-scale attack by what appears to be a sinister version of "garden gnomes," and the sudden reappearance of a Wiccan priestess missing for 30 years, Tess realizes that not even her imp companion, Scrap, and the two men vying for her attentions may provide her with enough firepower to survive her near future. Frost has created a resourceful and appealing heroine whose strengths and weaknesses together make her a fully formed character. This sequel to Hounding the Moon continues a strong series and is suitable for most fantasy/urban fantasy collections. (c) Copyright 2010.
