Lessons After Dark

Great chemistry between hero and heroine, but hero is a self-righteous judgmental jerk until a very last minute change of heart. If you liked her debut novel you might enjoy seeing Joan and Simon again, and the young students at the fledgling school of magic are engaging. Unlike the previous book in the series, the villain is a nameless demon, so the fight against him makes less of an impact. I give Cooper one more novel and if it disappoints I will have to label her as another “initial promise unfulfilled” author.
