Vampire: The Requiem 2nd Edition
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing

This is a very good book probably my new favorite and definitely the trump of the 2nd ed NWoD splats at this time (end of 2014, so there's only demon and vampire, but meh). It holds a much needed update to vampire, it is more or less self-contiained with a few minor exceptions, and it is in general a very interesting read.

Now, on the downside, here are a few things you should consider. Please note that while the below list is "long" I do not believe any of these things are so bad as to make the book itself bad, but if you are particularly bothered by any of the below you should probably think carefully before buying the book so as to avoid being disappointed later on. (and yes, I have been Very nitpicky with this part)

First off, this is not a very well ordered book. The way it's laid out is confusing, it lacks an index (but has bookmarks, a minor balm for the issue) which makes the layout issue a bit more troublesome.

It is also lacking entirely in animals, despite the fact that one of the powers, Protean, actually relies on them for shape-shifting, something which also limits your choices of Ghouls (servants) and so on. This issue CAN be gotten around by looking online for some fan-made animals of course, or just writing up a few yourself.

Then at last (and least, to my mind) we have language use. This is not an entirely "clean" book. It is not by any stretch dirty but you should, if you are particularly sensitive, keep this in mind.

At this time the book costs $19.99 and I, personally, would consider it well worth that price.

Heirs to Hell

Now this book is not going to be useful in every Demon game but I think it IS one of the most interesting books for the gameline (at this time, near the end of 2015). The price is tiny bit over what I would usually pay for such a short book but I think the content more than makes up for this.

If you have the cash to spare and like Demon I'd highly recommend this book; you will love the ideas for "demonic" offspring found inside. (ps: they're not evil... unless you play them that way)

This is a Very good book for those wanting to GM a Demon the Descent game, whether experienced or not. It gives you a wide range of interesting example stories that one can use whole-cloth, in part or just be inspired by. For the price (currently $2.99) it is a purchase well worth making.
