For seventeen-year-old Aurora Lahey, survival is a lifestyle.

DEMONIC DESTINY
Aurora has the crappiest superpower on the planet. And it’s just unleashed a hit squad from hell. Demons are on the hunt, salivating to carve her carcass into confetti. ´

CHARISMATIC KILLERS
The Hex Boys—mysterious, hunky, and notorious for their trails of destruction—have the answers Aurora needs to survive. But their overload of deadly secrets and suspicious motives makes trusting them a potentially fatal move.

LETHAL ALLIES
The battle to save her family, herself, and stop demonic domination may cost Aurora everything worth living for, and force her to reveal her own dark secrets. But no worries. She needs the Hex Boys to pull this off, and, chances are, teaming up with these guys will get her killed anyway. 

***

I really enjoyed reading Demons at Deadnight. I was drawn in by the premise of this story and was not disappointed. A&E Kirk have written an interesting story supported by a fun cast of characters. 

The main character, Aurora is strong, brave, and clumsy. She has the unfortunate ability of seeing demons and when they come after her she's got no choice but to kick demon butt (usually on accident) and find out what's going on with the help of the Hex Boys. The Hex Boys are an amazing(ly hilarious) group of guys. They all have their own unique personalities and quirks, and the dynamics between them and with Aurora are great. 

This book features plenty of kick-butt action, laugh-out-loud one-liners, and a side of smoldering romantic tension. Thank goodness there is no love triangle in this book, which I think has become annoyingly common for YA novels. 

I will warn though that this book ends with a major cliff hanger (the reason for the .5 deduction), but luckily book 2 is already out!
