Synopsis

Claire Hansen was a Keeper, gifted—or cursed—with the job of being one of Earth's Guardians, "Summoned" to areas where anomalies existed, where rifts had opened—or had been opened. Such places were the world's danger spots where, if they weren't sealed in time, all the minions of Hell might break through.

After she'd closed the portal into Hell at the Elysian Fields Guest House, Claire and her talking cat, Austin, found they'd acquired a new companion—Dean. Though Dean was a Bystander and shouldn't have been allowed to even remember Keepers existed, somehow in the course of their mutual ordeal at the Elysian Fields, he'd become an indispensable part of Claire's life. She knew she should change his memories and force him to leave her. Any other course was bound to lead to disaster. But as it turned out, it was already too late, for without Dean around Claire could easily become a danger to herself and the very fabric of space and time.

Yet with Dean around—and a little of her sister Diana's meddling thrown in—the world was headed straight for Chaos.

And Claire was about to face a challenge beyond her wildest imagining . . .

Goodreads review by Lois on May 31, 2013

Sequel to Summon the Keeper, which should be read first. The further adventures of itinerant patcher of holes-to-evil Claire Hansen and her handsome sidekick/former innocent bystander Dean McIssac, now with added annoying teenage sister, and an inadvertently summoned angel and demon highly confused......more

Goodreads review by Craig on April 28, 2021

Huff's three Keeper's Chronicles books (which should be read in order; this is the second) are funny, light, entertaining, and very well written. The characters are quite realistically portrayed, the books are cleverly plotted, and readers who enjoy fun fantasy or cats or Canada should give them a s......more

Goodreads review by Kara on July 08, 2022

Claire Hansen returns in this sequel to Summon the Keeper. It’s rare that I manage to read the next book in a series in such close succession, but here we go! The Second Summoning embraces and builds upon certain elements of absurdity present in the first book. I admire how Tanya Huff can write......more

Goodreads review by Andree on January 26, 2016

It's one of the books I semi-forgot was on my bookshelf! Yeah, maybe 2.5 stars? Turns out there's probably a reason it took me years to get to this. I mean, I read the first one in/just after Kingston, which puts this on the shelf for probably 8ish years. I'd actually forgotten a lot of how the mytho......more
