{4.5\/5} “Look, Claire tends to see things in terms of what she has to do to keep the world from falling apart.

The Second Summoning<\/strong> by Tanya Huff, published in 2001<\/p>\n

Claire and Dean have been together for a week, travelling to wherever Claire is Summoned. But Claire tells Dean they can’t do it anymore — someday they will run into something she can’t protect him from, and she can’t allow that to happen. Once he’s gone, though, she misses him too much — and thinks about him at inopportune times, like when she;s saving the world. So she goes to the one person she knows who can find him — her sister Diana.<\/p>\n

This is the sequel to Summon the Keeper<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s a fun romp with old friends Claire, Dean, Austin, and Diana. It’s about an angel who doesn’t know what his mission is, and a demon who gets invited to Thanksgiving dinner.<\/p>\n

It takes place in various places in Ontario — including Toronto, Lucan, and Kingston.<\/p>\n

I’ve read 3 books by Huff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
