I was so excited when I received the Advance Reader Copy from St. Martins Press that I started reading the book while walking up my driveway!!! I have had this book on my Amazon wish list since October 2010!!! Another positive from this book is that P.C. Cast gave it a thumbs-up and I just finished Awakened by PC and Kristin Cast. I saw in the forward that PC Cast whispered to her YOUNG ADULT and even though I am not young anymore, my heart and mind still loves the genre!!!!
This was a superb book! The storyline, the characters and the imagery was spectacular. The reader is projected into the future (2018 Atlanta to be exact) where demons roam the earth and the economic climate is bleak. There are two types of groups that secure safety in the world where demons threaten society. One are demon hunters set out to kill the demons and then there are demon trappers that imprison demons in Sippy cups or metal zip lock type bags and ship them off to the Vatican. Oliver introduces us also to Necromancers, deaders (zombie slaves) and 5 levels of demons. The story line is refreshing and different. Dont get me wrong my favorite type of paranormal novels involves vampires and ghosts, but this book showed me that even though it wasnt focused on vampires it was still captivating. And captivate me it did! I read the book in two days and I worked a 10 hour work day in-between.
Riley is our heroine and she lives in Atlanta with her father. She is the only daughter of the master demon trapper, Paul Blackthorne, who has another trapper apprentice named Beck. She is also an apprentice and one tragic night turns Rileys life upside down. The great thing about this book is that no matter what her duty as an apprentice entails she is still a seventeen year old girl who still has to go to school, face the mean girls, mounting boyfriend troubles, and of course has bad hair days.
Will Riley survive her apprenticeship, will she be able to find true love and will she survive her teen years. Enjoy the first book, because I did and now I am patiently waiting for the next book of the series.
