Pertenece a las seriesCursed {Braun} (1)
Wanted by law enforcements. Chased by drug cartels. Hunted by demons... Constance Ramirez has more than her share of problems when it comes to protecting her adopted sister, Andromeda. Especially since Andromeda isn't fully human, and her strange powers are dangerous and out of control. But Constance will do anything to keep her safe, which won't be easy with bounty hunters hired by the drug cartel she betrayed looking to capture her, and savage monsters seeking to take Andromeda for their own dark purposes. Being a big sister has never been so hard... Or so deadly. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

“It would take firefighters hours to put out the blaze, and even longer to figure out the cause. Not that they’d come to the proper conclusion, because cases of teenage girls spontaneously combusting weren’t normal.
But on the other hand, my sister had never been normal.”
Demon’s Daughter falls smack dab inside my Urban Fantasy wheelhouse. I loved it -- beautiful cover art, lots of action, and evil monster smack-downs -- with monsters both otherworldly and human. Though the book has a lot of similarities to TV’s Supernatural -- angel/demon mythology, hyper-responsible and -protective siblings, and tragic relationships -- it’s not a copy. It will appeal to fans of the show, certainly, but it won't bore them.
I connected with Connie and Dro as characters immediately. I could feel how tiring and lonely their life on the run might be. They quickly meet a young psychic, Max, and his father, Manny, who are clued in to the supernatural world and do their best to help the sisters find what they need. Later, when they are on the run, they meet up with two angels, one decent and one a jerk, and a demon hunter named John Warrick.
Connie and John have similar histories -- John having lost a sister to the same bounty hunter who is after Connie. As a reader, you start rooting for John and Connie to get together, support each other in their crazy, wacked-out lives. But broken hearts have a way of rejecting what’s best for them, so by the end of the book, you don’t know if the two will be helping each other or not.
I’d say the Cursed series is going to be one to watch for any urban fantasy fan. The story and writing are very good and the characters are relatable. I get to add Amy Braun to my Favorite Authors Discovered This Year list, and I'm giving this book a 3.5 because of that. I’m eager to see what’s next for Connie and Dro since, while they have some answers by the end of Book 1, they don’t have them all... and the fates of Heaven, Hell, and Earth are at risk.
