Title: A Demon Made Me Do It

Demonblood Series #1

Author: Penelope King

 

My review
When an Amazea demon curses Lucky her soul is split in half. During the day she lives as Liora, a 17 years old human and by night she lives as Lucky, an Aequitas demon whose duty is to dole out justice and torment those that deserve it. While they share one body, each one lives in their own realm with totally different lives. Not particularly caring for each other, they have developed an uneasy truce.

Enter Kieron, a demon that moves through both worlds.When Liora meets him she begins to hope that she has a chance at a normal relationship and happiness. The s*#t hits the fan when Lucky finds out that they have been hanging out together. She doesn’t trust Kieron and feels that he is a threat to both of them.

The author makes you feel a strong connection to all of the characters, which I find new and refreshing. She tells the story from Liora’s and Lucky’s points of view and writes it so well that you have no trouble following along. Actually, you can’t help but keep reading as you are drawn deeper into the story and discover a world of incubi and demons of all kinds.

The ending is exciting and satisfying with plenty of room for more. I am anxious to read Fire with Fire, Book 2, which is out now.

Also available: Witchy, Witchy (Spellbound Trilogy #1)

4 STARS

This book is appropriate for mid-teens to adults. I would recommend it to anyone that loves YA/ paranormal romance and fantasy.

About the author

Penelope King is a native Californian who now lives in beautiful South Carolina. She says “ya’ll” more often than she’d like to admit, eats more fried food than is probably healthy, and still hasn’t gotten used to the scary thunderstorms that seem to appear out of nowhere.

She stays up way too late and does the bulk of her writing in the witching hours. She rarely misses a sunrise, and needs to include a special “thank you” to Starbucks caramel frappuccinos.

When she’s not writing, she’s reading any and all YA out there, swimming, kayaking at the river, doing Zumba and kickboxing, or watching a trashy reality show. She can BBQ better than most men, and if she had to marry a food it would probably be pizza, but she’d cheat on it with sushi.

    Seems like a great book, if only my TBR pile was a little smaller! 🙁

      I know what you mean. My list is huge. Sometimes I just can’t resist a book and I am so glad I read this. Already reading the next one and it looks like it will be just as good. They are a fast read and I hope you get a chance to read these.

        I have to take a break from the blog’s review list because I now never get to read what I want to. I just read Divergent! LOL

        Sometimes I get lucky and a book on my review list is also at the top of my list of want to read nows! Two birds with one stone.
        I loved Divergent and started Insurgent but had to set it aside for a bit. Too many other things going on. Did you like Divergent? Some say it is blasphemy, but I like the series better than Hunger Games. Both are good though.

      • wulfie76 says:

        Oooohhhh, I liked Divergent better than Hunger Games too! I can’t wait to get my hands on Insurgent, I’m hoping I get it for my birthday. 🙂

      • fuonlyknew says:

        I am looking at my copy right now, but do not dare pick it up. I have many reviews to catch up on first. I hope your birthday is soon!?

      • wulfie76 says:

        My birthday is Friday! But I probably shouldn’t get it til I catch up on my reviews either. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it though.

      • fuonlyknew says:

        Happy Birthday!! I hope it is a great day for you:)
        I will be posting a review as soon as I finish the book.

      • fuonlyknew says:

        HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Have a great one and eat, drink and be merry:)

      • wulfie76 says:

        Thank you so much!! I’m on a book buying binge this weekend. 🙂

        Happy shopping:)
