Goodreads Synopsis:
Rin and his exorcist classmates are caught in a secret war against the forces of darkness.
Raised by Father Fujimoto, a famous exorcist, Rin Okumura never knew his real father. One day a fateful argument with Father Fujimoto forces Rin to face a terrible truth – the blood of the demon lord Satan runs in Rin’s veins! Rin swears to defeat Satan, but doing that means entering the mysterious True Cross Academy and becoming an exorcist himself.
An attack on Tokyo by a huge demon that is visible to almost everyone marks the start of an unprecedented outbreak of demonic activity around the world. While the Knights of the True Cross and the Japanese government scramble to contain the damage, Lightning’s investigation into the Illuminati has pushed the Knights of the True Cross—and Yukio—just a little too far. Now Yukio rushes to confront Mephisto, determined to hear the truth of the circumstances of his and Rin’s birth. Yet Mephisto, aloof as always, still seems to be pulling everyone’s strings. For Yukio and Rin, there will be no easy answers…

Review:
There's something going on with Yukio and now everyone knows it. But
because of how he's acting, no one is sure of what it is that's
wrong. This all comes to the forefront when there's an attack and
normal people start seeing the creatures that hang around everywhere
and cause chaos.
I will admit that I didn't see this coming, and yet it makes sense.
There's always been a distance between Yukio and Rin, no matter how
Rin tried to bridge it and even ignore it was there. Yukio has always
kept everyone away from himself, and that included Rin. And now that
he might be forming powers of his own, of course he's decided to hide
it and figure it out on his own.
It was harsh seeing Rin have to confront Yukio and try to help him, but
it wasn't surprising how Yukio reacted. It was sad, and hard being on
Rin's side during it.
After all of that, Rin then has to deal with his own powers exploding
inside him. Since they're both descendant from Satan, it makes more
sense that their powers would be fighting them and taking over in
these ways. It's almost been too easy till this point, and now the
brothers have to face what's happening as it becomes too much.
There was a true surprise in Shiemi's powers here, though I'd always
hoped we'd get to see more of her.
There's a lot going on right now in this series, and I'm looking
forward to seeing what develops next.
