Riley Blackthorne is
a teenage/still in high school/female demon trapper and demons are running
loose in Atlanta. Riley is determined to learn everything she can about
trapping even though she is the only female trapper and her world is suddenly
turned on its head.
This book sucked me in right from
the very beginning, it only took me a few hours to finish it. Jana Oliver has
written the most believable characters I have ever read, which made the book
even better. The feelings and thoughts made me believe what I was reading was
actually real. The depth of emotions from the characters left me speechless.
Though I feel as if the book could have been longer, it felt to me like the
book wasn’t finished.
The Demon Trapper's daughter is a
book that you wouldn’t want to miss out on. It has everything you want and
more, a tough likeable heroine, demons, drama, romance, fighting, and an ending
that will have you counting the days until you get more. This book is amazing
from beginning to end and the second book needs to hurry and get in my hand.

Colt McAlister is a sixteen year
old boy from San Diego, he likes to surf and read Comics, he’s also the
youngest of seven siblings all boys, and the last to still live at home. Colt’s
life is turned upside down when his parents are killer by a drunk driver,
causing him to pack up his life and move to Arizona
with his retired marine grandfather. One day Colt gets a mysterious text from a
stranger who claims that Colt’s parents death was no accident and from there
Colt is thrust into a world he believed only in comics and movies.
Colt along with his childhood friend
Dani, and his new buddy Oz, find out that the C.H.A.O.S. comic book got a lot
of things right and it’s up to them to stop evil business owning aliens from
destroying our world and everything into.
While Aliens and outer space really
isn’t the type of things I read about I found myself really enjoying the book
and having a hard time pointing it down. The characters were believable and
easy to relate to. They storyline flowed smoothly and didn’t become dull at any
point. This book had everything you could want in a science fiction story,
drama, aliens, flying motorcycles, jet packs, shape shifting monsters, and
wicked fights.
I received this book free from the publisher through the
BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a
positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Over
the course of a single summer day, ten teenagers in Salem, Massachusetts, will
discover important truths about themselves and each other.
There is Nicole, whose decision to betray her best
friend will shock everyone, most of all herself; Kelly, who meets the convicted
felon she has been writing to for years; Maria, whose definition of a true
friend is someone who will cut her. Then there is Sadie, a chubby
eleven-year-old whose mother forces her to wear a "please don't feed
me" sign stapled to her shirt; while Joy, a fifteen-year-old waitress
hoping for true intimacy narrowly escapes a very dark fate. Derik discovers
that his usual good looks and charm won't help him hold onto the girl he wants,
while nineteen-year-old drifter, Mearl, is desperately looking for a place to
call home. Sean is torn between his loyalty to his girlfriend and the possibility
of finding something more with her friend, while Ginger's single-minded pursuit
to bring down her nemesis only proves that they may be more alike than she
thought.
Seamlessly woven together, this incredibly powerful
and compelling collection of stories chronicles the very real trials of today's
teen experience.
Um?
I read the book because I like this author. All of the
other things I read by her I ended up buying and rereading. All but this one.
Honestly I just couldn’t see the reason for this at all. I guess you could say
that some kids go through some of the things that the characters went through,
but that's about it. The book had no kind of anything. It just wasn't a book
for me. Maybe I didn’t get it and that’s fine but this book did noting
for me. I read it and was so upset that I wasted my time. Maybe someone will
read it and love it.
