I was actually really excited about this book. I haven't read many books with demons, and this one seemed so promising. I love urban fantasy and YA always keeps the action up enough for me, so it had the makings of a great book for me!

I don't know all the places this book fell short but for me it just Didn't Do It.

I didn't like how the entire book just felt like a high school boy testosterone fest. Even the Council didn't feel that different to the boys. To the author's credit, there was a joke about how that is who the characters are in there somewhere. But that's just not the type of characters I enjoy reading. Were there any women that weren't the mom in the entire book? Can only men be demons? Why do demons who have lived hundreds and even thousands of years seem so childish?

I found myself day dreaming about other things while reading this book so many times that I just felt like I had to press forward otherwise I'd never actually get through it. Which isn't a great sign for me, but that truly may just be me.

I really do think a big part of me disliking the book was personal, in that it just wasn't the type of book I enjoy. I really did think I would enjoy it, though. I think this book might just be Not For Me.

There was definitely an interesting story there, and I'm sure it could definitely do it for other audiences... Just not me.
