I have heard that the series gets better as it progresses, but I think I'm beyond giving it another shot at this point.

Honestly, I thought he was going to die right along with the rest of his crew once he decided to take on the mafias controlling sections of L. He has a super cool, super persuasive superpower, but is still relatably and amusingly awkward, but in a totally adorable and charming way. So naturally, leaving her baby with the prayer vigil, she goes out to perform a demonic ritual to get him back.Minion=demon that was conjured up, seeking revenge against a vampire, but the master vampire and demon made a pact.

I read this because Banks is a staple author within the paranormal genre, and I've enjoyed the novels of authors influenced by her.

If he was away from all the people that were leading him down that path and met the sidekicks, would that make a difference?
