Rendition As Books Forsaken (The Demon Trappers #1)
Riley Blackthorne just needs a chance to prove herself – and that’s exactly what the demons are counting on… Seventeen-year-old Riley, the only daughter of legendary demon trapper Paul Blackthorne, has always dreamed of following in her father's footsteps. The good news is, with human society seriously disrupted by economic upheaval and Lucifer increasing the number of demons in all major cities, Atlanta’s local Trappers Guild needs all the help they can get – even from a girl. When she’s not keeping up with her homework or trying to manage her growing crush on fellow apprentice Simon, Riley’s out saving distressed citizens from foul-mouthed little devils – Grade One Hellspawn only, of course, per the strict rules of the Guild. Life’s about as normal as can be for the average demon-trapping teen. But then a Grade Five Geo-Fiend crashes Riley’s routine assignment at a library, jeopardizing her life and her chosen livelihood. And, as if that wasn’t bad enough, sudden tragedy strikes the Trappers Guild, spinning Riley down a more dangerous path than she ever could have imagined. As her whole world crashes down around her, who can Riley trust with her heart – and her life?

I guess they changed the title? I have the other cover...----------------------------I didn't really like Riley. She was whiny and very, very self-centered. Her world revolved around her and that was that. And we had to read her thoughts a lot. Really, we did I didn't find her grief period very believable. Oh, and remember how she treated Tim? That was so wrong. Though, in Riley's defense, it was a dumb question. How could you not know what a Biblio demon was? Or, at least have an idea! I have a3.5/5 stars.I'm gonna review with a Pro/Con List. I will read the next one in the series. I did enjoy it.Pro's first :)1) Interesting Concept with fresh ideas. Demons! No sparkly Vamps!2) Easy to read Voice/writing style 3) Pretty Decent Charcterization overall, they had depth, stayed true to self, and there were some touching moments.4) Decent World Building5) I liked the demons. I liked the Demon world buiding, descriptions and hierarchyCons: Not really cons about the book itself, just little
You would think that being a Demon Trapper would be enough to earn you a little respect. It may sound glamorous, but trapping demons is not as easy-peasy as the popular TV show Demonland might lead you to believe.One: Its extremely dangerous. Even a level one demon can wreak havoc. A level three demon would like nothing more than to have you as its next meal. And forget about the risk in facing a level five. It would almost be less risky to sell your soul to Lucifer than to battle one of them.
After a great opening scene (a demon in a library!), this book just did not hold my interest. BUT. Someone told me "If you want to read a good urban fantasy set in Atlanta, try the Kate Daniels series, instead." And the rest is history. :-)
I really enjoyed this book...angels, demons, humans...trappers, hunters, incredible! Jana Oliver's spin on angels and demons is enjoyably unique and refreshingly creative. I loved every word...never read a character's POV from 3rd and 1st person before. How cool was that?!My heartfelt sorrow still bleeds for Riley Blackthorne, a demon trapper, whose will and determination seems to be put to the test, time and time again. She is strong and courageous--admirable characteristics in a 17-year-old
I think this is one of the first books this year that I'm giving 3 stars thinking that it deserves exactly that. Mostly, my 3's are either 2.5 or 3.5 that I round up or down depending on my mood.The first half of the book reads too much like bad paranormal YA. Whiny protagonist drooling over every guy in sight, but completely oblivious to the fact that they all think she's hot. Extremely high levels of angst leading to incredibly stupid decisions. And, of course, let's not forget things like a
My review can also be found on my blog Collections.4.5 starsAfter reading some reviews, I wasnt sure whether or not I would like this book. I heard some unappealing things about the characters, especially Riley. I also heard that the romance included a love-triangle. (Actually, it was scarier than that because the reviews made it sound like a love-square.) I dont enjoy reading a book where I dislike the main character all the way through, and its rare that I like a love-triangle or anything more
