title: The Grimrose Path (Trickster, Book 2)
author:  Rob Thurman 
description: Thurmans second Trickster novel finds Trixa having captured a powerful talisman and committed assorted mayhem in Trick of the Light (2009), reduced to human status for a bit. Losing her shape-shifting powers was bad enough, but then a demon comes into her bar to ask for help. Something is killing demons. Normally Trixa would simply say good riddance. But 1,000 demons in six months bears looking intoif she and her friends can live through the search. The Trickster novels are supernatural escapades with camp and romance and a fair bit of gore all thrown in. Thurman keeps you turning pages. This is good commuter reading. --Frieda Murray
