I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This one is miles better than the first for the action, though I still wouldn't necessarily say it fits my personal preference for horror. The characters are a little stiff, and predictable, but that's to be expected with this sort of book. Changing the PoV character wasn't something I expected, and I definitely enjoyed Angela in the first one a ton, but the actual characterization from the PoV didn't seem to change much, it didn't feel like I was reading a different character's voice. The chapters were also, again, very long; something I don't generally expects from a horror or thriller type of novel. The pace did keep up, though, which is why I have to say it's not too bad. A fun read, if you're looking for a bit of an adventure.

Demon hunting at a w"hole" new level
Firesmith pens an intense, devil fighting, story in Hell Holes 2: Demons on the Dalton . I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. I read the first book in the series a while ago, but after looking at my old notes on it, I liked this one a hell (pun intended) of a lot better. The characters were strong, and intelligent. This author brings the story to life. The characters had a lot of depth, and were very realistic, even the extremely old sorceress, Aileen. It's survival of the smartest and best, as the hounds of hell (and other magnificently evil creatures) emerge! This author is not just a writer but a great storyteller. This is a magnificent story, kept this reader turning the pages. The thrills and intrigue is written clearly and the characterizations are engrossing. Love this story. If you love a good demonic fighting, evil against more than just the good, but the strength of humanity, this book should be next on your list. Hell Holes 2: Demons on the Dalton is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.
