Inner Demons is the third book in the Deal with Demons series. We pick up a couple months after the conclusion of the last book, Danica is still denying the bond that she feels with Samael but she's starting her own investigation business and feeling pretty great about it. When her sister's coven house is burnt to the ground with several of the witches inside of it, she swallows her pride and asks for the help that she knows she needs. Putting her back into his line of sight and setting the pieces of their game back into motion.
I can totally understand that this is just an ACOTAR knock-off in a lot of ways. We have the whole arm tattoo, the wings, the squad of friends and everything. But I don't really mind cause I feel so much more personality from Danica and it's in a completely different setting. I do wish a couple of things could be a bit more original, now that we're getting into the honeymoon stages of their relationship it's becoming especially obvious that certain things that Samael is doing are designed to appeal to us as readers who like that. But it's also not unbearably thick in how it's executed.
The ending was a bit of a cliffhanger and it kind of really stressed me out. I'll definitely be reading the next one and hoping for the best. I think this is a great third book in a series, it introduced additional conflict while remaining consistent to the plots set up in the first two books. It's all coming together now and it's looking to be super interesting.
