The Everafter is wonderfully spooky. The story is original, the writing is haunting, and the main character is intriguing. There is also an air of mystery, and it isn’t solved until the last few pages. I read The Everafter in almost one sitting. Needless to say it hooks you right from the start. The main character, Maddy, and her experiences feel so real. The concept of items lost in life returning memories in the afterlife is certainly one I hadn’t heard of before, and I found it absolutely fascinating. The romantic elements are well-executed: they are both slightly awkward (as all early romantic encounters are) and heartwarming. The Everafter is a great book for reminding you why it’s great to be alive, but it doesn’t leave you with a feeling of sadness. Exactly how it should be. o complaints! Enthralled is a great anthology that any fan of paranormal YA will fall in love with. The Demon Trapper’s Daughter by Jana Oliver The Demon Trapper’s Daughter by Jana Oliver Publisher: St. Martin’s Griffin Release date: February 1, 2011 Pages: 340 My thoughts: The Demon Trapper’s Daughter is a very exciting read. It’s fast-paced and full of action—every fight scene was well choreographed and left my heart racing. Even the times when Riley wasn’t battling a demon, she was up against something that fired me up (like Harper! Ugh!). I really like when a book can make me feel involved in the story, and The Demon Trapper’s Daughter did just that. Riley was a really great heroine! I loved the fact that she was headstrong enough to go up against everyone who didn’t believe she could trap demons (and, of course, demons themselves!). She used her intelligence and physical abilities to overcome multiple obstacles, which was pretty impressive. Riley’s capabilities will inspire females who read The Demon Trapper’s Daughter, for sure. One thing that bugged me about Riley, though, was her inability to see that her dad’s friend (and pseudo guardian) Beck was actually a good guy! She was so jaded from a past experience that she couldn’t see that he actually cared for her. Because the story is told in third-person, we see how much of a softie Beck really is, and I really fell in love with his character. Almost everything he did for Riley was with good intent, even if she didn’t think so. It was really cute that he doted on her so much! The Demon Trapper’s Daughter is a paranormal YA that you won’t want to miss. It has intense action, phenomenal characters, and excellent world building. I was extremely impressed with the genuine awesome that this novel exuded, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the sequel! If you like powerful female protagonists and fight scenes, be sure to check The Demon Trapper’s Daughter out! You won’t be disappointed. 4.5/5 stars
