TEEN: Demon Trappers 2: Forbidden - Jana Oliver

Release Date: 05/08/11

BOOK BLURB:

Riley’s beginning to think being a demon trapper isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Her dad’s been stolen by a necromancer, her boyfriend’s gone all weird and she’s getting warm and fuzzy feelings for someone who’s seriously bad news. It’s tempting to give it all up and try to be normal, but that’s not an option.

Because the demons have plans for Riley.

And they’re not the only ones.


REVIEW:

The second novel in the Demon Trappers series and one that reveals a few hidden truths that demonstrate that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It’s immersive, the characters outstanding and to be honest I had just as much fun reading this book as I feel the target audience will. Add to this cracking prose, a wonderful sense of pace and a whole hosts of twists and turns that will keep you guessing to the last page.

Finally add to this a cracking overall story arc for the series and its really one that will have readers gasping for breath with each new release thanks to Jana’s almost explosive appearance on the scene. In this case I do have to wonder on which side she made her own deal as it really has been a wonderful piece of fiction. Great stuff.

TEEN: The Denib Trappers: Forsaken - Jana Oliver

Release Date: 07/01/11

BOOK BLURB:

Riley has always wanted to be a Demon Trapper like her father, and she's already following in his footsteps as one of the best. But it's tough being the only girl in an all-guy world, especially when three of those guys start making her life more complicated: Simon, the angelic apprentice who has heaven on his side; Beck, the tough trapper who thinks he's God's gift, and Ori, the strikingly sexy stranger who keeps turning up to save her ass. One thing's for sure - if she doesn't keep her wits about her there'll be hell to pay...


REVIEW:

OK, you happen to like author like Lili Saintcrow and Kelley Armstrong but the wait between their next Urban Fantasy Young Adult title feels like it’s an age away so what are you going to do? Well worry no longer, we have this title by Jana Oliver to recommend. It not only features a kick ass heroine but also one who has everyday worries, has some great one liners and to be honest is one that definitely kicks demon butt.

Add to this a lead female character that the reader can associate with, some great prose as well as enough action to sate a person with ADHD and you know that its definitely a title to keep you going. Finally, back that up with a cracking storyline some wonderfully humorous moments and having to live up to a living legend who’s also your Dad and you know that it’s a book to enthuse any young reader. One of my early recommendations for this year and I can’t wait for part two.
