The Blurb :

Fifteen-year-old Eve Evergold is cute, sassy and enjoying a busy social life. What she doesn't know yet is that someone close to her is an evil demon that only she has the supernatural power to defeat. She needs to work out who it is - and fast! Because although there's something very attractive about the dark side...dating a demon? Pure hell!

My Review:

When l first picked up this book l was excited about reading this book but l have to admit my excitement was quickly ruined by how the book was written. I found the book written in quite a simple way with not much description and most sentences quite 'simple'. Because of this l found it hard to connect with the main characters and wasn't left feeling like they were real people like with most books which l enjoy a lot. This then mean't l couldn't slip into another world while reading this book and wasn't made to believe.

Another reason l wasn't left believing in the story was how unrealistic l found some of the book, if someone finds out they have superpowers l feel they would take longer to get used to these powers and be more surprised.

Maybe this book is for younger age than me, l mostly enjoy young adult fiction even though l usually enjoy reading more adult types of books but this may be a exception.

Even though l have mentioned a lot of negative things l did find it ok book and did enjoy a few chapters more than the rest of the book. I do have the second book in the series but won't be rushing to read it.
