The Demon Trappers Daughter

alright kiddies gather round im gonna tell you a story of the time i went to half price books and left in tears. twas a lovely summer morning when i rolled up to the second hand book store and ask them if they had the lux series (i have the kindle version but i wanted the paperback) when they told me they did not have it i figured might as well look for the other twenty bazillion books on my "too read asap" list. now i browsed the store only to realize thirty minutes later THEY HAD NONE OF THE BOOKS I WANTED TO READ. grrrrrrr. so i angrily began to take my leave until i saw a book that was in the corner on a stool, the demon trappers daughter by jane oliver. now it was pretty far down on my list but hey something too read is better than nothing. so that's how i got this book. fun story right? now for the summary: the demon trappers daughter is set in 2018 in Atlanta Georgia where the city is run amuck by demons (i think the best way to describe them would be angry pokemon...the trappers try to catchem all and the demons level up as they take more souls) so the demon trappers are a league of men trained to catch the demons its a dangerous job and riley blackthorne wants to follow in her dads footsteps only problem.... shes a girl. and if she can succeed she would be the first girl trapper in Atlanta however with sexiest leaders and angry demons after her rileys journey will be anything but easy. so this book earned some solid thumbs up from me because as yall know i love books with female characters who break gender roles and this book definitely did that. i also liked this book because the romance wasn't that far of from accurate, the first relationship is super rushed like the conversation literally goes "are you dating anyone"-"yea you"-"oh cool". i shit you not that's how they got together. but riley acknowledges that there relationship is super eighth grade lets hold hands under the lunch table and she learns from it through out the book, her character shows obvious growth and its cool to watch her change over the course of the series. now this is a pretty cool story because she still has to go to school, do homework, pay bills, and worry about life so shes pretty relatable even though shes running through a wasted city catching pokemon. so i think i have a bit of a southern twang in my voice and when i read this book i read becks characters voice as deep south Georgia as i could. and i had a lot of fun with it. that's my life for yall... i get my kicks from reading in accents. there are also angels in this book if i didn't mention before and some freakishly religious people who through holy water on innocent bar goers who actually happen to be demons. colorful cast of characters jane oliver, i applaud you. im listening to old songs and dynamite and taio cruz just came on so throw back to taio. sorry yall im a lil add abcdefg today BUT GUESS WHAT!!!! wait ill tell yall my news after i trash this book real quick. there are some dull points that i skimmed through because i wanted to get to the exciting parts (which were mostly at the end) that would be the only thing i didn't like about this book. i would read this if your into series like maximum ride or darkest powers (i say that because the romance was sweet but its not the main point its like a nice side bar amidst the demon fighting) OKAY NOW MY NEWS so i ordered like four books on amazon (eve, the black key, significance, and tone deaf) im super duper excited because if youll look back into my previous reviews youll see i read the first three jewel series books over the summer and the fourth one (the black key) just came out and im so excited!!!! the anticipation has been building for months. so be on the look out for that review ill post it when i finished the book which will probably be very soon....i have nothing else to do. yall have a fabulous day, read the demon trappers daughter hmmm what else oh yes SHAKIRA SHKAIRA. can someone please contact me and mail me a chill pill. please and thanks. read the book. love the book. sniff the book. trap the pokemons.
thanks for reading
