I received this book from NetGalley in exchange of an honest review.

First of all, I want to thank Macmillan-Tor/Forge- Tor Books for the chance to read the sequel of the amazing Burn the dark.

I come with knives picks up where Burn the dark ended, with the arrival of Robin's witch- mentor, Heinrich and the new knowledge about the demon that was tormenting her. Now Robin, armed with these informations, with the help of her friends and her mentor, is ready to destroy the Lazenbury Coven and try to free her mother. Moreover Robin's already complicated life becomes more mysterious with the arrival of the Dogs of Odysseus, a group of peculiar magicians, with their own goal and old connections with her mentor.

Told by multiple POVs, I come with knives follows Robin and her revenge's quest, her friend Joel and his brother Fisher, involved with the serial killer the Serpent, Kenway, Robin's boyfriend and ally and Wayne and Leon Parkins, and all of them find themselves dragged in this dangerous adventure full of witches, possessions, cats, murders and deaths.

The sequel of Burn the dark is fast- paced, full of action and there's never a moment of calm in these characters' life. The reader is always on the edge, wondering what will happen next, what will they discover. Robin found herself burdened by the knowledge about the demon and what he represents for her and her mother and her life is complicated by the Dogs of Odysseus. Their arrival brings magic, artifacts, help and questions. It was amazing and interesting meeting these new characters, above all Anders Gendreau, with his peculiar cane and clothes.
Like in the first book, I come with knives is a rollercoaster, full of plot twists, deaths, cats, rivelations, crooked cops, attempted murders, possessions and surprises.
The characters are really well written. Robin is trying to get used to have other people around her, people who care about her and her relationship with Kenway is beautiful and intense. The loyalty and love between them and between Robin and Joel is amazing and captivating.
Robin is stubborn and resilient, Kenway is loyal and strong, Joel brilliant and determined, Leon is skeptic and obstinate, Wayne is brave and decisive, but, at the same time, all of them have fears, they are scared.
They are realistic, real, raw and really authentic, with their doubts, anger, fears and indecisions.
I loved these characters. I was angry with Robin, I laughed with Joel (That poor man can't catch his breath since Robin's back in town), I was worried for Wayne and his dad. The author has the wonderful gift of grabbing the reader's attention, through the plot and writing style and letting it go only at the end of the book.

I come with knives is beautiful, intense, a fast paced and packed with action read, with unforgettable characters, demons, witches and magicians.

This book was received as an ARC from Macmillan-Tor/Forge - Tor Books in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I was a fan of Burn the Dark and when I heard the second installment was available for advance readers I immediately jumped to the chance and was super excited to read and I was not disappointed in the slightest bit. A tale packed with action and drama and a new conflicted problem for Robin. Now with two packs of demons after her; The Serpent and the Dogs of Odysseus, Robin must now use her newly gained knowledge and anything she can find including the help of her witchhunter mentor must defeat these monsters on top of discovering the secrets of her past that might put everything at risk. I could not stop reading, my heart was racing looking after Robin and feeling like I was along for the ride. I really do hope that this series sells well and it sure will do very well for our teen book club.

We will consider adding this title to our YA collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
