Devil's Punch
The power swelled inside me, burning, hurting, but I let it center
me. Pain means I'm still here, fighting. I envisioned it swelling in
my hand in a seething rush, gathering, gathering, and then I sent it
out on my resolve like a dark and winged thing riding the magickal
wind.
As a handler, Corine Solomon can touch any
object and learn its history. Her power is a gift, but one that's
thrown her life off track. The magical inheritance she received from
her mother is dangerously powerful, and Corine has managed to mark
herself as a black witch by dealing with demons to solve her problems.
Back home, Corine is trying to rebuild her pawnshop and her life with her
ex Chance, despite the target on her back. But when the demons she
provoked kidnap her best friend in retaliation, Corine puts everything
on hold to save her. It's undoubtedly a trap, but Corine would do
anything to save those she loves, even if it means sacrificing
herself...

Book Reviews
I have very mixed feelings about this book. I love how Corine keeps growing and always stays loyal to her friends, even though her decisions can't always keep them safe. As shown by this book, where she must travel to Sheol (the demon realm), after her best friend is kidnapped. She has plenty of misgivings before the journey, but she could never have foreseen all that will happen. I suspect some of the events of this book are probably going to have some extremely far-reaching consequences.
