Some people worship them. Some people fear them. And some people—like Morgan Kingsley—go up against them toe-to-toe, flesh to flesh, and power against power. An exorcist by trade, Morgan is one of the few humans with an aura stronger than her possessor, even though her demon can tease her body senseless. She’s also a woman who has just discovered a shocking truth: everything she once believed about her past, her identity, may have been a lie.
With a family secret exploding around her and a full-scale demon war igniting, Morgan is a key player in an unsettled world. Then a rogue sociopathic demon enters her life with a bang. His name is The Hunter. And since she is the prey, Morgan has only one choice: to hunt The Hunter down—no matter what heartbreaking truths she uncovers along the way….
Jenna Black is your typical writer. Which means she's an "experience junkie." She got her BA in physical anthropology and French from Duke University.
Once upon a time, she dreamed she would be the next Jane Goodall, camping in the bush making fabulous discoveries about primate behavior. Then, during her senior year at Duke, she did some actual research in the field and made this shocking discovery: primates spend something like 80% of their time doing such exciting things as sleeping and eating.
Concluding that this discovery was her life's work in the field of primatology, she then moved on to such varied pastimes as grooming dogs and writing technical documentation. She writes paranormal romance for Tor and urban fantasy for Bantam Dell.
Whew! I'm almost at a loss for words. "The Devil You Know" is book 2 in Jenna Black's Morgan Kinsley, exorcist, series. Absolutely fabulous! BUT, you can't read book two without reading book 1, "The Devil Inside", or you will be way behind the powercurve. Also I should warn you that this book is very dark...I would classify it as Urban fantasy with heavy sexual overtones rather than paranormal romance. Indeed, Dell is marketing this series under Spectra, their Fantasy line.
Morgan is back and she doesn't get much a break from the events of the last book before more excrement strikes the windblower! She's trying to get used to hosting Lugh, trying to go cold turkey from her lover Brian, trying to come to grips with her former-host, now catatonic brother Andy, and trying NOT to kill demon host Adam for just being his normal jerkself. As if that's not enough to deal with, now Lugh appears to be trying to seduce her into letting him 'drive' occasionally, Adam and Dominic seem to want to embarass her by playing kissyface all the time, Raphael is back on the scene and may want to repossess Andy, and Brian won't give up on their relationship regardless of the danger to them both. To top off the list: 1-Lugh tells her there's a mysterious 'blank' in her mind that even he can't penetrate, 2-her parents want Brian to let himself be a host again, and 3-apparently there's a sadistic demon serial killer whose been let loose and pointed straight at her. What's a girl to do?
COULD NOT PUT THIS DOWN! The suspense and tension are tight from the first page to the last. Morgan is just as snarky as ever, and Adam is still HOT. Now she has Lugh in her dreams almost constantly. When she's seen Adam, Lugh dresses like an S&M god, and when she's seen Brian, he dresses like a California surfer...and Lugh is every woman's dream sex toy...unfortunately, he's also the king demon. All Morgan can say is, "Why me?"
If you like your fantasies dark with an edge, don't miss this series. Next book is "The Devil's Due" coming out in December 2008. It's a must-buy for me.
Morgan is relieved when Andy recovers from his coma and he agrees to move in with her for protection in case Raphael comes back for him. But she has other worries when a demon comes for her to find out where Lugh is, putting everyone she knows in danger, and questions about her own past are going to be relevant to the situation she is facing.
Things are getting tougher for Morgan. While she has rediscovered her relationship with her demon free brother, quizzing her parents about her past and the rape of her mother leads to a real estrangement. Who was her real father and was he a demon? What happened to her as a child in that hospital run by the demon fanatics? Lugh seems to think that this is important and as a reader, I want to know as well! The plot is intriguing, exciting and ever changing and you can't wait to see what is going to happen next.
The demon hunting them is a pretty scary dude as well, and not knowing which body he is in puts everyone in danger. But really Morgan, your dad punched you and then disappears from your life with your mother, and then suddenly arrives at your door to 'talk' and you haven't considered that he might just be the dreaded demon who is chasing you? Oh come on you stupid muppet! Then she gets mad at Brian for doing what needs to be done and helping Adam kill host and demon? Honey, your dad was dead the moment the demon took him. It had to be done. At least Brian and Adam have the brains and nerve to do what has to be done to keep you alive and you as usual whine like the ungrateful bitch that you are. Very classy. Honestly Morgan is getting worse in her attitude and I'm getting tired of her.
Random irritations-we are still getting this stupid sex thing every time she talks to Lugh in her sleep, when they should be working on a plan. Lugh, get a bloody grip and stop leaving it all down to Adam to save the day. This guy is supposed to be a powerful and important demon and instead of trying to solve his problems and take down his enemies, he just wants to get Morgan horny all the time. So the only intelligent person trying to come up with a plan is Adam and everyone hates him for it. There's gratitude for you huh. And Morgan, stop having a go at Adam every ten seconds. Even when he wants a truce, you just have to be a bitch again. You really get on my nerves with this crap! Grow up already!
This was another good plot and I was so upset at the end when poor Andy gets taken over by Raphael again. It was pretty gut wrenching and I did not want this to happen. I'd love to know what happens next but sadly, my issues with Morgan and the dream perving crap have totally put me off continuing this series. I just can't bring myself to put up with that for another three books, which is a real pity. Her attitude stinks and it ruins what had been a good urban fantasy series.

You know, this series could really be something. The concept is cool. It's just that the writing is mediocre at best. Jenna black is a teller. Not a show-er. In the two books that I have read, there has been no character growth, and the heroine is a nasty bitch. Now, I'm all for bitchiness when it's necessary, but Morgan is over the top, in your face, trying to be so tough by being telling us how bitchy she is, that it makes me bang my head against the wall and want to put the book down and just not pick them up again. The only reason I keep reading is because I am one of those people who if I start a book I am going to finish it, no matter what. It has nothing to do with the characters, whom I have no connection with, or really care if they live or die. I don't think I would really recommend people I know to read this book.
Sorry to say book two by Jenna Black in this series was an absolute shocker! Pity, because the whole concept of this series a kick ass female exorcist fighting against illegal demons on the mortal plain is very interesting. Unfortunately this one fell below par. I enjoyed the first book but felt it could of been better so I picked up the second book in the vain hope it would improve as the series went along. Wrong. I have the third book in the series but I just promptly put them all in the charity bag waiting to go to charity. I really hope someone else will enjoy them because it was certainly a big waste of my time over the christmas holidays!! It took me weeks to read this because it was so convoluted (do not attempt to read book 2 3 or 4 without reading 1 first or you will be in perpetual confusion) Morgan the so called kick ass exorcist is nothing more than a whining, over analyzing and whimpy woman with too much anger and baggage. She just droned on and on and bloody on!! There were no simple conversations in this book, the author felt it necessary to interrupt them with Morgan's continual analysis of every word action and body language of whoever Morgan happened to be talking with. It was tortuous to say the least. No more from me sorry I'm out and happily so!! ps - the body language mainly consisted of hard on's. I must remember when talking with men to look down at their pants to see if they are enjoying the conversation. (is the author 14? seriously!!!)
Wow..I have to say, I really like the direction this series is taking. 4.5 stars. This one was really dark, just like the first. I have a feeling that the next installment in this series will be darker yet. The action just keeps going and the tension just keeps piling up!
After reading other reviews of this one I was expecting the "sexual situations" in this series to be offensive..which I didn't feel in the least. There really isn't an overwhelming amount. More inuendo than anything. And it's absolutely integral to the story, in my opinion.
Morgan is still a little whiney for my taste(losing a half star), but she has grown a little since the last book. Which tells me that the next will show a little more growth. I really could like her...and I'm pretty sure I will throughout the next coupel of books.
Ms. Black has written interesting characters. I like most of them and I'm interested in learning much more about them. And am dying to see where she takes them next! I'm definately looking into the next one in this series.
So, I’m continuing my reread of Jenna Black’s Morgan Kingsley series. She lives in a world where people willingly allow a demon to possess them to make them heal faster and become stronger. There are some who even worship these demons like gods and feel it is an honor to sacrifice your life, so the demon can walk this earth. See, when you’re possessed by a demon, you become a passenger in your own body.
Morgan is an exorcist. She has never liked the idea of demon possession, no matter how much her parents tried to convince her to take a demon. Morgan is called in to exorcise any demon who is found to break the laws, which includes violence or illegal possession. Sometimes, the human recovers their ability to live on their own without the demon and others become catatonic and may or may not ever recover.
So, there is a demon war brewing. One faction wants to allow demons full run of the human world and let them do whatever they want. There is another faction, ruled by the current demon king, who wants to keep things as is or even put more rules in place to protect humans. Morgan finds herself in the middle of this work and working with both demons and humans to help solve it.
I don’t want to go into too many details so as to avoid spoilers for both this book and the first book. I will just say this is a very interesting world. I love reading about the dynamics of Morgan’s family, which are full on fanatics when it comes to worshiping demons. Morgan learns some really difficult truths in this story, too.
I also really love these characters. Morgan is a very strong heroine, even as she makes some bad decisions at times. She’s also very vulnerable at times too. I really like her boyfriend, Brian. I think he is very good for her. He forces her to really look at herself and make those tough choices that must be made sometimes. I also really like the Adam, a cop who works on demon crimes, which is odd, since he’s demon possessed himself. There is also Adam’s boyfriend, Domenic. Dom was demon possessed, but his demon was exorcised because his demon fought off people who didn’t like demons and one person didn’t live. There is also Andy, Morgan’s brother, who when his demon is exorcised is left catatonic.
Lastly, I have to mention two demons who are prominent in this story. Lugh is the current king of the demons. He wants to keep things as is. However, his brother is trying to kill Lugh and take his throne, so that demons can turn the human world into a playground. There is also Raphael, which is another brother of Lugh’s, but this one is on Lugh’s side. Though he does have different moral code than Lugh and is willing to get his hands dirty, and even seems to enjoy it.
If you’re looking for a fun Urban Fantasy series with a strong heroine that is flawed, this is a great one for you. This world created by Jenna Black is really fun. She also has a great ability to create fun and interesting characters.
Second in the Morgan Kingsley urban fantasy series set in an alternate Philadelphia.
The Story Morgan Kingsley is an exorcist, a caster-outer of demons in a family that worships demons…so you can imagine how much fun the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are in the Kingsley homestead.
Then Morgan finds out the truth about her birth. Worse, Lugh catches her at a weak moment and hypnotises her into remembering what happened at the hospital and she learns the truth about the "encephalitis" when she was 13.
Then Andy wakes up from his coma (Devil Inside) only to find that Lugh's other brother, Raphael, is a bit too concerned about what Andy might say about demonic possessions, i.e., Andy's ass may be grass. Then Morgan finds out she is a product of rape which makes her almost impervious to demonic possession and Dougal has sicced a hunter demon on Morgan who will stop at nothing to test Morgan.
The Characters Morgan is a selfish, well-intended, hypocritical, chickenshit asshole with an avoidance streak and a mouth that has never encountered a brake. I can't stand her! That said, her life is fascinating and I sure wouldn't mind a Lugh in my life! Woo-hoo! He's a hunky devil.
Black has created some amazing characters…yeah, yeah, yeah…even Morgan has…something, oh yeah, Lugh. Adam and Domenic make an incredible couple; Domenic is such a sweetheart (and a fabulous cook!) and Adam, well, Adam is a challenge with a hard edge. Andrew. Andrew is a bit of an anomaly who has been through some nasty experiences. Then there's Morgan's parents. Oh yeah, after you meet her parents, you're kind of surprised she turned out as well as she did. And Brian. He is such a sweetheart and, whooo, I dunno how things will turn out in Devil's Due. Not after what Brian goes through in The Devil You Know.
The primary bad guy is Der Jäger, the Hunter, sent by Dougal, Lugh's evil demonic brother, to find Lugh in whoever's body he's hiding in.
My Take Black will keep you reeling from one action to the next, from one bomb to the next dragging you through sensual dreams to torturous encounters. The Devil You Know is difficult to put down—try to set time aside when you begin reading this tale of revelations.
The Cover I really can't figure out who the guy is in the suit standing in back watching Morgan meditating in her circle of candles. He doesn't look how I picture Lugh. He could be Andrew or Brian. As for Morgan's outfit…it seems a bit bare even for Morgan.
I'm not sure what the title is about. The Devil You Know could refer to Lugh or Adam, the "friendly" demons that Morgan knows, or it could refer to Raphael or Der Jäger. Then again, it could refer to Morgan meeting the host that is Adam's body when the Adam demon slides into Domenic to save his life. Of course, my personal vote goes to her parents…talk about demonic actions!
There are a lot of paranormal authors out there in literary land who have delved into the demon plain. In the demon realm we do have a few heavy hitters: Lilith Saintcrow (one of my favs), Kim Harrison (of course), Keri Author, Rachel Cain, naughty Emma Holly (smoldering) and a spattering of more, but Jenna Black clearly has a distinctiveness of her own.
It's refreshing! I love championing the veritable bad boy/and or girl, and Black's Morgan Kingsley series is a virtual horn of plenty. It's got a plausible back-story of demon lore with a hierarchical pantheon, a potential coup in Hell, demons fighting each other on the Mortal Plain, professional exorcists like Morgan running the bad guys out of our realm, law enforcement officers possessed by lesser flight demons, and last but not least, Black's reality envisions middle-American WalMart "walk-abouts" embracing demon possession as a hip and holy lifestyle. Throw in a dash of S&M, and this series is cookin'.
Morgan is the type of exorcist heroine that readers (especially female) gravitate towards: self-powerful, independent, sexually potent and aware, but just as willing to kick you on your butt with a pair of her size nine motorcycle boots.
For fans, this book is a natural progression from The Devil Inside. Morgan starts to acquaint herself with her unlikely demon passenger, and starts molding a bearable lifestyle with him. But she still needs to unravel the mystery of not only how to get him OUT but how to help him prevent a full-scale war in Hell-a war that might just spill over into the Mortal Plain. What further complicates things is that Morgan is surrounded by frenemies, and a diabolical secret surfaces that her parents have been hiding from her...Revelations will be had.
After reading the Devil You Know TWICE I sat back with a smug smile. I am hoping Black won't paint herself into a corner with Lugh, because fans will be panting for more after this second book. How will Lugh and Morgan consummate their relationship? When are we going to see what he really looks like? How will Black keep the tension up if Lugh slips his noose? It's tricky-tricky. What would be devilishly naughty is if Lugh were to "borrow" Adam's body for a bit of extracurricular activities with Morgan. I'm snickering just thinking about it. Copyright (c) Nicola Mattos

The Review:
Book two in the Morgan Kingsley series is much better than the first; I’m glad that the first one grabbed my attention. Morgan can kick butt and if, for once, her life could become a little calmer, then maybe she wouldn’t have to so much. She is betrayed by those closest to her and assisted by those who previously stood in her path, but we won’t get into too much detail about that.
This book is non-stop action, a real page turner, and the sexual tension isn’t bad either. A couple times I found myself trying not to throttle those well meaning people who love to interrupt you while you are reading. So here’s to Jenna Black; keep up the good work, maybe you can drown them out.
This was a good follow up to the first. Things aren't getting any easier for Morgan. Lugh is still stuck in her body. After finishing the first book, I had time to think things over. I was starting to wonder just how this series would play out. How far it could possibly go. I'm liking the direction of it, to be honest. This stands out from most of the other recent books I have read.
What I still love about this series, is that Morgan is strong. She's somehow able to control her body but able to let Lugh in when needed. I'm excited to learn all about this mysterious girl who is able to resist possession. And that is what this book was centered on. I thought the story line was well written and thought out. I was very happy with the many things we learn about Morgan. Very intriguing.
I'm still wondering where things go. I can't imagine it would be easy to write about an attraction when said attraction is stuck in your head. I am interested to see how that plays out. I'm liking the series very well so far. Jenna has yet to let me down!!
If the basic story in these novels wasn't so innovative and interesting I wouldn't bother reading them. They're full of unnecessary gay BDSM which is super annoying - it isn't that it is the gay BDSM that bothers me but its like a porn video. You order a pizza and instead of just paying for it and letting the pizza delivery guy go, sex happens. It isn't even well written interesting sex either. It's all pointless to the plot and that is what is annoying. If it had any purpose to further the plot then it wouldn't be such a big issue for me.
I love this series! Can I just leave my review at that? No? Okay, fine. The second book in the Morgan Kingsley Series and I love this world just as much as the first book. Full Review - http://thetbrpile.weebly.com/reviews/...

morgan-main character,etc. Dominic Castello-adam's lover,etc. adam-cop,etc. lugh-almost-to-be king of demons,etc. raphael-lugh's bro,etc. brian-morgans use to be bf/ex bf,etc. dougal-lughs evil bro,etc. andrew(andy)-morgan's bro,etc. Dr. Neely-the body that raphael possesed,also the doctor that treated morgan at the healing circle that morgan doesnt remember about what happened bradley cooper-the leader of social siciety group
pg.99
when brian went to morgans house to tell her something, she hasnt expect to hear that adam has been investigating her and her family to see why raphael putted lugh in her, and she hadnt exected at all to hear that her mother was raped 28 years ago(morgan is 28 now) and that turns out morgans "father" isnt her real father.her whole life might be a lie.brian and adam thinks that the reason morgan is so strong and can block lugh out when wanted is because of whoever fathered her. morgans life had been worse when adam had to shoot andy for raphael to go back into the demon world, and andy is now having to stay in the hospital(morgan doesnt know how long he has to stay) and andrew cant really talk or control his body parts.only sometimes(cause when a demon exits ur body,they sort of damage ur brain). but the good news is andy got better when morgan visited him and he has to just stay for another day and he can go.but he would have to be probaly in a wheelchair. later on adam and dom tell morgan that andrew might be in danger, because andrew may still be hiding some info. that raphael wouldnt like him to have, so raphael might go after andrew once he posesses someone elses body to get the info.so adam suggests that andy stay with morgan for a while for protection. lugh also tells morgan in a dream one day that he doesnt have acess to all her memorys,because one of them is so bad that morgans brian wants to desperately forget it..but lugh did know that it had to deal with when morgan was in the healing circle(the hospital). adam tells morgan and andy that raphael came into the human world a few nights ago, but he never came to kill andy, so it probaly means that he isnt going to kill andy...but adams still not sure. raphael later comes in Dr. Neely's body and tells morgan that he doesnt plan on killing andy. raphael calls morgan later and tells her there is a new demon in the human world,he is known as Der Jager-or as the hunter.dougal offered Der Jager's freedom if he can find lugh and kill him. morgan decides to learn about who her real dad is and more info. that she doesnt know about herself, but all her mom told her was this: I used to do volunteer work at The Healing Circle when Andrew was young. One evening when I was leaving, a man dressed in scrubs accosted me in the parking deck. He forced me at gunpoint to drive him out into the suburbs. Then he…” She swallowed hard and wrung her hands. “He left me tied up in the backseat when he was finished, and that was how the police eventually found me. The Healing Circle said they’d had a John Doe they’d been examining in the psych ward, and that was probably the man who attacked me. But they never found him, never figured out who he was.” ..................and then later on morgan was caught reading her file from her dads private office and her dad punched morgan b4 she got to read anything more. morgan(of course) doesnt give up on the file.she she sneaks in2 the house and found the file gone(because morgans dad burned it) and was trying to find anyother info. that morgans dad might left behind in his office when she went face to face with Der jager.Der Jager ends up escaping but not b4 saying he'll be back to talk to her, adam plans on helping morgan, and morgan plans on warning everyone close to her that they have to watch out Der jager might transfer into their bodys to get to morgan..and the "close to her" means brian also, even though morgan hasnt talk to him since she left him.morgan was surprised when brian walked aout the door to her house(because the convosation gone wrong) and was thrown back in by adam(with dom behind him). adam then told morgan at the end that brian would be better off staying at morgans house, and morgan knew that after the trouble is over, brian is probaly going to stick at her side no matter what she does to try to protect him by leaving him. lugh gives morgan promission to tell brian about lugh and why morgan got a demon chasing her. morgan and adam got andrew to talk by threathing him and andrew finally said whathe knew that hapened in the hospital..he said that morgans mom and dad(not real dad) drugged morgan to get her to the hospital, and tried to give morgan away to the demons(because the demons were interested in morgans real dad and they were interested in morgan when they found out that mogan was morgans real dads daughter) but it didnt work and thats how raphael knew that morgan was different and putted lugh in morgan for lugh to be safe. der jaer is killed by adam.
morgan finds out about the time she was in the hosital: her parents were standing at the side of her bed, with guilt on her moms face and no expression on her dads, and then cooper and dr.neeily were there too.the was a demon next to morgan trying to get axcess inside her body to posess her, but failed.the demon gave up and was going to kill her when cooper said that let raphael decide weither to keep morgan alive or dead.
since morgan is alive right now it means that raphael must have picked to leave her alive..so that means raphael is the reason shes alive today.later on der jager somehow got into morgan fathers body and was posessing morgans father.then he went to morgans house and found morgan there and later on brian.morgan spilled her guts out to der jager alittle about what she knows(because der jager had his throat on brian) and later on morgan got to her weapons on time to taser der jager.morgan knows now that der jager knows too much, and she has to kill him(by flamming the host alive), but that would mean killing morgans father(not real father) and morgan doesnt know if she can do that. but lugh talks to morgan in her mind to let him have axcess to take over her but morgan didnt, and lugh trys and trys and finally sucesses and takes morgan over and blocks morgan out from lughs vision and what hes saying.when morgan came back to her body, she knew what happened.lugh burned her dad alive, and brian helped lugh. morgan feels worse when she goes to andrews house to find out that andrew is not in his body, but instead its raphael.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I liked this more than the first novel in the series, partly because the supporting characters were fleshed out in this novel, giving more depth to their personalities and their relationships with each other and with Morgan. Morgan seems to spend the entire novel either furiously angry at everyone and the world, or raddled with about her life and decisions guilt, which seems to be a pretty realistic reaction to the world and events in her own life. The villain of the piece - or at least, the demon assassin - is probably the least interesting part of the plot; the more interesting part is identifying how much everyone else is a villain, to one extent or another.
Le destin semble s'acharner sur Morgane, rien de va plus dans sa vie. Elle découvre que ses origines ne sont pas celles qu'elle pensait et que sa famille cache beaucoup de secrets.
La cohabitation avec Lugh devient de plus en plus difficile.
Un démon tueur est à ses trousses et elle est entourée de personnes qui la trahissent ou lui mentent.
Le côté érotique est un peu moins présent dans ce tome.
On est plongé dans l'histoire, dans la vie de cette jeune femme. On veut connaitre la suite et percer les multiples mystères qui entourent Morgane et les royaumes des démons.
So I really couldn’t put the book down, but Morgan really started to wear on my nerves and I think this will continue through the series. To me it seems each of the other characters grow and she just has her heals dug in and refuses to open her mind. I guess I had hoped for more between her and her demon this book, but no. This is more of a 3.5 for me this round. Unsure of moving forward. I didn’t care for Brian being brought back into the picture. But obviously some might.
Wow. I feel so incredibly depressed. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this book; I'd even say that the world, plot, and some of the character building is excellently done. But I just don't like Morgan, even if I understand her. I just feel depressed.
The plot intrigued me and the characters are likeable enough, but some scenes in this book - namely a certain dream and a final scene - bothered me quite a bit, so that's a 4/5 for me. Will keep reading this series anyway
Threatening, ignoring…and then getting angry at his reactions. But, having said that, I wish she was a little more cold-blooded when it came to dealing with demons, they keep manipulating her just because she lets them.
Despite all the hardcore bedroom action I find myself enthralled by Morgan Kingsley with her sharp witted reactions to the demons in her life. The characters are strong and the storyline is clever. Recommend this series to readers who enjoy this genre.
