BOOK REVIEW
Demons & DNA by Meghan Ciana Doidge @meghancianadoidge
Book 1 of the Amplifier Series
Lead
Urban Fantasy, 281 Pages
Without giving too much away, this book is an excellent, excellent urban fantasy about Adepts who were trained to basically be mercenaries trying to live a quiet life, leaving their past behind them. Wouldn’t you know it, the past comes back to bite them and they have to figure out who, what, and why.
I love the characters so much and my heart goes to each one of them for what they’ve gone through in their lives. I love how it all culminates, leading into the next book. You don’t necessarily have to read the author’s other series to understand this one, but there are a couple references that you may miss if you haven’t read the rest of her books. Again, they aren’t necessary to enjoy this book.
I recommend ages 16+ for this book.
I rate Demons & DNA at 4 out of 5 stars.

4.0
3.5 raised to 4 because it is Meghan. The beginning is slow, and a lot of the details are tedious, but the middle to end was explosive and so good. I'm looking forward to the sequel, and running to grab the prequel.
