Bella and Walker open strong on premise: a psychic waiter and a demon hunter running an unsanctioned operation after being cast out of a larger organization. This gives the book a clear central relationship and an interesting institutional backstory, the world-building leans on info-dumps more than ideal, with references to prior history that occasionally outpace what’s actually explained on the page. D’Angelo and Angel’s dynamic carries the book regardless, his guarded competence playing well against Angel’s quieter perceptiveness. A confident series launch and clearly building toward something.
