The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Sting (Nava Katz Book 2)

The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Sting (Nava Katz Book 2) - Deborah Wilde Wait! No!!! And now I have to wait until September. Damnation!
Excuse my profanity, but... Just as I was totally invested in Nava's story, the book ended. And now I have to wait.
Let's backtrack.
I liked book one of the series well enough, it was cute and fun. Totally Wilde's Mo, if you ask me.
When I started this book I thought I'll be getting more of the same. Fun, cute, imaginative and your usual PNR rump. Great entertainment. In fact, The Unlikeable Demon Hunter kinda reminds me of Ghost Busters. I am talking about the entertainment factor, the fast pace and the fun dialogues. A bit of light entertainment, that is really imaginative. Oh and then there is the cool factor, that reminds me of Men in Black- just with demons and rabbis.
I wasn't quite buying Nav and Ro's connection until the last quarter of the book. And then, well Wilde went and ripped out my heart!
Somewhere around halfway, this took a turn from entertaining to me being totally invested in the characters. Because the MCs changed from feeling a bit formulaic to unique.
Wild did a great job at the character building in this installment. There is way less cliche, more unique and a hell of a lot more unexpected.
The plot is fast-paced with a few great twists. There are still your big movie moments, the last scene included, but they now feel like the best thing ever. I honestly hope someone will turn this into an awesome series- you know like Alias but with demons.
Last but not least the world building becomes better and better. I love the mix of myth, history and fantasy. Well constructed!
My only little issue. I was a bit disappointed with how quickly the situation with Asmodeus was solved and I was left with a ton of questions. Which brings be back to what I said right in the beginning: September? Really?
