The premise of this book was a first for me. After the end of days things don't turn out quite like it was expected. The demons win and the world goes on, just a little different. At some point in time the demons and the angels started to "get along" (sorta). There are three types of humans that have evolved. Waning magic, waxing magic, and no magic. Noon sees herself as a freak because she is the only female they know of that has ever been born with waning magic - the power to destroy.

The story follows Noon as she starts her first year of law school (with a demonic twist) trying to hide her magic nature. It was a very well thought out world with a wide variety of characters for Noon to interact with. One of the, Ari Carmine, draws her to him like no one ever has - and he knows her magical secret. The story follows these two and their friends as Noon navigates the tricky corridors of demon law and control.

While the story was quite interesting, at times I felt the characters were behaving more high school-ish than law school-ish. It was really the only noticable fault in the story for me. There were some very humorous moments as well as some very serious and deadly moments (they're bound to happen when you're dealing with demons). The two mysteries Noon finds herself investigating twist around each other perfectly, always keeping me guessing where they were going to end up.
