Sometimes you wish your parents just would stay dead... 
 I'd been putting off reading this book for a while. Other series and books took priority. But I'm so glad I got around to reading it. Jenn Bennett might be my favourite debut author of the year. I can not put into words how much I enjoyed this book. 
 The world that this book is set in is brilliant. There's magicans who have powers similar to a lot of witches I've read about in the past, Earthbound demons who have 'halos' in different colours, AEthyric demoms which are mostly pretty scary. Throw in some magical societies and a demon nightclub - not forgetting Cady's own demon serving bar. I thought the world was written in a way that was so vivid to me. I felt like I was right there beside Cady as she tried to find the evidence that would prove her parents' innocence. From Ms. Bennett's writing it's easy to see that she is an artist. 
 One of the more surprising things for me whilst reading this book was Jupe - Lon's teenage son. Normally I don't like children in novels. They come across to me as either too old for their age, too young, too cute - all it really translates for me as too annoying. But Jupe entertained me. I thought he was written perfectly - he was at that stage where he's trying to show he's a man of the world but at the same time he still needs his dad around. He provided a lot of comic relief which the story needed at times. I hope we see a lot more of him in future books because I think he was my favourite character. 
 I loved how the story came together. It was in such a way that I was surprised by exactly how it unfolded but nothing new or out of left field was brought in just to create the climax. I loved Cady's powers and how she used them. She's a survivor who does what she has to but she has morals and is a decent person. I liked that about her. And the sexual tenstion between Lon and Cady? Brilliant. Their interactions and banter amused me greatly. 
 The second book is going to be a must buy for me.
