Vicious Circle

I'm two for two with loving this series.

Things that Felix Castor has in common with Johannes Cabal:
Outsider even among his own profession
Strained relationship with better-adjusted older brother
Person from their tragic past he wants to save
Friendship with a demon/succubi

When it comes to literary boyfriends, I guess I have a type.

Once again, the story is impeccable with a well-drawn villain and some fantastic twists. It was more action oriented than the first book in the series, [b:The Devil You Know|663098|The Devil You Know (Felix Castor, #1)|Mike Carey|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442602181l/663098.SY75.jpg|1936254]. Felix himself engages in frequent violence (in self defense). Maybe he's been working out? Despite the bolder, faster Castor, Carey maintained the same level of depth and development.
