The Spirit Eater (Legend of Eli Monpress Series #3) Book

With the pressure on after his success in Gaol, Eli Monpress, professional thief and degenerate, decides it's time to lie low for a bit. Taking up residence in a tiny seaside village, Eli and his companions seize the chance for some fun and relaxation.

Nico, however, is finding it a bit hard. Plagued by a demon's voice in her head and feeling powerless, she only sees herself as a burden. Everyone's holiday comes to an untimely close, though, when Pele arrives to beg Eli's help for finding her missing father.

But there are larger plans afoot than even Eli can see, and the real danger, and the solution, may lie with one of his own and her forgotten past.

If only Nico could remember whose side she's on.

Library Journal

After his latest successful job, professional thief and wizard Eli Monpress seeks only to relax and spend his hard-earned money, but a friend wants his help in finding her missing father. Monpress and his companions find their mission complicated by the demon that resides within Nico, whose powers have proven useful in the past. As Nico struggles to remember who she is and deny her resident spirit, she realizes what she must do to assist her true friends. VERDICT The third book in Aaron's series (The Spirit Thief; The Spirit Rebellion) is another action-based fantasy adventure with strong male and female characters. Its standard fantasy background flavored with the feel of urban fantasy makes this an unusual addition to the fantasy romance genre and should appeal to series fans.
