Very rarely is a sequel better than the original novel, but this is one of the few exceptions. Demon Tears picks up about 3 months after the end of The Fallen.

The Catholic church has gotten closer to Scott and the mother of all demons is set to appear in LA in a few days. Can Nick, his boyfriend, and their group of loyal friends pass the ultimate test of courage and keep Scott safe from those hunting him?

Full of plot twists and turns,this novel flushes out some vague points from The Fallen. The dialog is much more developed and natural. Dagon's overzealous preaching about the "puritantical" ban on drugs is replaced with much needed action scenes that will leave the reader hanging in suspense until the final page.… (más)

In Dagon's break out novel the reader is introduced to Scott, an ancient powerful fallen demon on the run from the Legions of Hell and the Catholic church. Scott runs into Nick one night after Nick partied too hard with his boyfriend.

The pair form an unlikely friendship that only grows as the forces of Hell draw closer.

Dagon's work is a refreshing new twist in the gay fantasy genre. His characters, flawed as they might be, inspire compassion from the reader.

The great chacterization and humor in the novel are mired somewhat by forced dialog and Dagon's excessive focus on club drugs.

All in all a decent read for most fantasy fans.… (más)
