What a surprise--great book! Audrey's mom is one big bad demon killer. Audrey has her own "gifts," but they don't run along the line of warriors against evil, like her mom. But slowly and inexorably she finds out who she is as daughter of the uber demon fighter. Then, she basically comes into her own and takes her own unique place as defender against evil. It's all a very fun, satisfying ride. It's a unique tale and you will fall in love with Audrey, a really great character. This is kind of an angels vs. demons story without the religious, angel thing, which I found refreshing and very entertaining. My only criticism, and it's a soft one, is that the romance in this story is very low. I think the author could have turned up the romance burner just a notch or two, from very low to maybe medium low, and the story would have been a grand slam.
