"Diana, my dear daughter, you have some explaining to do."

First, it is rare for a sequel book to outshine the first one. This is due to the shift from witches to angels. After a near-death experience, Diana questions her abilities and the men she has chosen to love. From the obsessive nature of Ares and Sebastian to the hesitation of Desmond and Malcolm. With the presence of Azazel, Diana’s guardian angel, Diana realizes that her lineage is complex. Like the previous book, In the Devil’s Shadow ends on a cliffhanger, the story ends after the appearance of Lucifer, and we wait till 2023 for the third installment.

 

*Review with Spoilers*
The constant reveals of Diana’s parents were constant whiplashes. The fact that Lucifer and Michael were an on-and-off couple. Regarding Diana, I have to say her anger towards Desmond, Ares, and Sebastian is warranted. In the first book, Diana lets these men take her from her family and home without question, all to protect her family. After she survives the attack from Satan, Diana realizes that these men are keeping way too much from her. Typically, information regarding her lineage, Desmond, and Sebastian’s past with Azazel. Even as Diana starts getting information about her family, she doesn’t have anyone to turn to since she suspects that people know or have suspicions. As the book ends, we get insight into Lucifer’s thoughts regarding Diana. The cliffhanger of pretty insane, especially since Michael is the bad guy based on his actions.
