DEMONICA - New Adult - Martina Potucek-Palladino

It all started with a dream... and as this dream is unfolding, we are far from done. We pick up where we left off; Tink finds herself on a pebbly beach, an island in the middle of nowhere, and Tommy, last we knew, was floating in that bizarre liquid and ended up possibly mummified. Lorenzo fell through the floor of Tommy's cabin into some crazy purgatory, Maddie ended up in the Regeneration Room and found Tink's starburst necklace, and Demonica brought Derek to meet Lexi. Now, we get to know Lexi, who her father is, and where she's been her whole life. Tink befriends the little girl she meets on that pebbly beach and finds out who this girl is related to. Later, Tink discovers something about herself and what she is capable of. Tommy is... different. What will become of him? Lorenzo discovers how powerful magic can be. One more room in the vault is opened; the first reveal is quite a surprise, but the second one is shocking, at best. We digress to Frantiska's past, before Demonica existed. We find out how she raised her first-born child, how her relationship with Ludvk began, how she and Josef became involved, and why Demonica took over. And then there is Lexi... poor, secluded, isolated Lexi. We certainly get to know her quite a bit; and yet, we've only scratched the surface where she is concerned. Is she sweet and nave, or is she a chip off the old block...? We'll just have to wait and see. Will we encounter more body swapping? Will anyone die? Will Demonica finally succeed and take over Tink's life? So many unanswered questions... Just as we imagine we know what is about to take place at the end of this book, a new character appears. This one is other-worldly, literally. How does this being fit into this story? You may not figure that out; blink, and you'll miss it...
