Devil's Due, Rachel Caine - the second in Caine's "Red Letter Days" series, this picks up just where the last left off, told from the perspective of the second heroine, Lucia. There's less of a central mystery here, and more X-Files-ish mythology gestures, complete with Lucia's strange abduction and the loss of four days. It may not be the most original world, but it's an engaging one, and I hope Caine offers some kind of a conclusion in a forthcoming entry.
