Riley Blackthorne’s adventures continue in the second spellbinding Demon Trappers novel, as she battles demons… and a love that could destroy her
At the start of the second thrilling installment of the Demon Trappers series, 17-year-old Riley Blackthorne has about had it up to here. After the devastating battle at the Tabernacle, trappers are dead and injured, her sweet boyfriend Simon is gravely injured, and now her beloved late father’s been illegally poached from his grave by a very powerful necromancer. Add to the mix: Ori, one sizzling hot freelance demon hunter who’s made himself Riley’s unofficial body guard, and Beck, a super over-protective “friend” who acts more like a grouchy granddad, and Riley’s almost ready to leave Atlanta altogether.
But as the demon count in Atlanta increases, the already crippled Trappers Guild has its hands full, and, when the Vatican finally sends its own Demon Hunters to take care of the city’s “little” problem, pandemonium breaks loose. Only Riley knows that she might be the center of Hell’s attention: an extremely powerful Grade 5 demon is stalking her, and her luck can't last forever. As Riley’s life becomes a dangerous balancing act, will she be strong enough not to tip? And who will be there to catch her if she falls?
I haven't read The Demon Trappers Daughter. I was on a paranormal cleanse during the release and never revisited the idea. The cover looks like a sister-cousin of the first. Easy to recognize... Who doesn't love a pretty girl in Chucks?

Well this sounds deep. I have to be in the mood to read about abuse when it pertains to children. Having kids of my own, I can't read a book and then easily forget about it - the story stays with me for days. Heavy books like that are important and necessary, but I can't read them on a whim. I have to mentally prepare for them. I think that is why I stayed away from contemporary for so long, I thought every book was about love and loss. The cover is gorgeous and I'm sure Don't Breathe will receive a lot of great attention.
