With that, of course, comes the demons, who are not quite as pleasant. Allie is finding out all about the pros and cons of this after opening a door to hell in the diner where she works as a waitress. After being abandoned by her mother, who also took off with her trust fund, she’s forced to wait tables at Sally’s Diner.
After getting wasted with best friend Amanda and geeky Stan in the basement one night, the trio ends up creating a spell and opening the demonic door. You and I both know, that must have been a hell of a hangover the next day!
A few years later, though, Allie is all grown up, and has learned how to get by on much less. She’s also learned to live with the creatures-and with her feelings for Ryan, the sexy hunter who showed up as soon as the door opened and refuses to succumb to the passion between them. Seems like he’s placed her squarely in the friend category-one which nobody likes to be in. But he’s taught her how to fight, while also acting as her protector from the demons trying to cross the threshold and invade the world.
One day, the door in the diner disappears into thin air, while other portals begin popping up in other spots all over town. This is a problem, because soon the doors will outnumber the demon hunters and the universe will be in deep demon doo-doo.
So Allie and Ryan decide to step through a door to get help from an underworld god. Here is where Katherine builds a fantastical world, including nine different dimensions that the hunters must make it through before they are able to return from the depths of hell.
Mythology and religion also play a part, making Salt and Silver a smarter and more interesting read than your typical paranormal romance books.
This book fully satisfies, with humor, poignancy and fast-paced action. The sexual tension between Allie and Ryan heats up the further they travel, and the memory of one shared kiss will have you seeking shade.
