Touching the wrong person at the wrong time gets Abby Baker into a heck of a situation as a fiend fugitive transfers itself into her body, along with a dangerous spell that other demons are after. Soon, she finds herself taken into protective custody by a pack of Lupines and various Others, including a good demon, Rule. Abby has to completely change what she has believed about otherworldly beings and adjust her attitudes rapidly as she deals with her unwanted guest and her protectors try to figure out how to handle the situation. The spell inside her is a time bomb, and it would not do at all for evil demons to get hold of it, since it is the magical equivalent of a nuclear bomb. The simplest solution would like as not kill Abby, something Rule finds himself increasingly unwilling to do.

Though initially I was worried that this would be a story too hot to handle, the one scene that qualified as such is easily read around, and the story that is left is fast paced and compelling. Abby's plight is one you will care about seeing solved, though aspects of it provide much amusement. The Demon You Know is a must read for urban fantasy fans.

Synopsis
As a research grunt at a local television station, Abby Baker tends to blend into the background, which is where she's most comfortable. But when she ends up being the last resort to cover a hot story, Abby discovers a whole new side to her personality when she is possessed by a fiend - a type of rogue demon. Suddenly everyone wants a piece of her. And now the demon Rule - also a hunter of his own kind who have gone astray - is Abby's only hope... Meanwhile, the Others - vampires, werewolves, and witches, oh my! - have come out of the supernatural closet and the rest of the humans are all aflutter. Mischief is afoot in the demon realm, and Rule knows that Abby is key to figuring it all out before the fiends tip the fragile balance between the newly-discovered Others and the humans over into an epic battle. Now it's up to two lost souls to make love, not war...
