Demon of Mine by Caroline Peckham
3.0
3.5/5 Stars
"The blood of a hero runs in your veins, Elle."
Elle's life has fallen apart. Her mother is missing, leaving behind a massive debt which forces Elle to move into her mother's ex-husband's home with his two adoptive children. Elle quickly discovers that there is something strange about the Mandeville Place, something supernatural. Not only this but a certain boy in the house has sworn to make Elle's life a living hell and avoiding him at Darkwood Academy is not easy. Jack Mandeville and his intimidating friends run this place, including every student and teacher in it. Elle must figure out what the ghostly presence in the house is trying to tell her as well as discovering how far Jack will go to keep her away.
⤷ Firstly, it's an honour to have my name in a book from one of my favorite authors, thank you, Caroline!
⤷ I was lucky enough to read this book last year which was called 'Darken The Night' at the time. I preferred the previous title to the current one even though 'Demon of Mine' connects with the story more!
⤷ Like with all of Caroline Peckham's books, this book was hard to put down. Even though it was an entertaining read there is still a need for improvement. I felt that some of the plot twists were weak and obvious as well as some of the scenes in the book could have also been developed more!
⤷ The romance between Elle and Jack was okay but a better development between the two them would have really improved the book much more!
⤷ I'm excited that each book is based on different characters (I think?), so maybe one of the books will be based on Tyler, which I really hope!
"The devil is real and he's god-damn beautiful."
Even though this book is my lowest rated from this author, I would still recommend it as it was a fun read!
Thank you, Caroline Peckham, for providing a copy of this book for an honest review! :)
