Forsaken (The Demon Trappers #1)
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 am an official fangirl. This series has absolutely everything: hot guys, action, bad-ass heroines, demons and much more. Cudos for originality as well.Riley Blackthorne is my new rolemodel; she's not one of those people who sit on the sidelines and watch. She doesn't conform to the rest of her peers just to sound smart. She carries around tricky little demons daily. She has a claw pendant (an authentic one) from which she got a battle scar. This was an amazing read and I'm honestly looking
3.5/5 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
Rating: 3.5 starsWhen a book is called The Demon Trapper's Daughter, you know you're in for one heck of a ride and that's exactly what this novel delivered! It was a roller coaster with its ups and downs and pros and cons, but I still enjoyed reading it a lot! :)The thing I loved most about this book (besides its super-cool cover, of course!) would be the world. Jana Oliver created such an original world of demons, trappers, hunters, and magic. It was gritty and dark, intense and different, and
'Forsaken' is one of my favourite reads for 2011. It is a refreshing change to YA books which are full of vampires and shape shifters. Jana Oliver has created a fantastic world where demons run wild and it is up to trappers like Riley and Beck to help rid to world of their evil. A mix of religion, magic and reanimation; 'Forsaken' is an amazing story with so many unknown areas to be explored, especially when it comes to trapping and hunting. But it's not just demons that are causing trouble;
Original review posted by Rabid Reads: http://www.rabidreads.com/2011/06/review-demon-trappers-daughter-by-jana.htmlThis book was such a fun read! I enjoyed it from beginning to end; there were a few sad parts but the quirky lower grade demons always managed to put a smile on my face. I read this book while killing time on the various flights I took during my vacation. There were a few points in time where I didn't touch the book for days but it was easy to pick-up right where I left off. No
This book wasn't great.What I liked:- The demon trapper idea is pretty cool, sort of like shadow hunters (TMI).- LOL, is that it? Wow, I thought I'd have more.What I didn't like:- On the back cover, they mention "sexy, mysterious, Ori".UH. ORI ONLY HAD LIKE FIVE LINES AND POPPED UP THE LAST HUNDRED PAGES..Like, seriously? Just don't mention him at all in the back! He only saved her once?- I didn't like that "ya daddy" and "ya" for you for Beck. It detracted the hotness I imagined in my mind.I

i really really enjoyed this book and it was a really good first book for the series i cannot wait to get stuck into the next one.So this is one series that is definitly going out of my comfort zone in terms of book genres because i tend to stay clear of these types of books because i usually don't like them, but this book proved me wrong on that!I am an official fangirl.
