Jael has always felt like a freak. She has never kissed a boy, she never knew her mom, and her dad has always been superstrict—but that’s probably because her mom was a demon, which makes Jael half demon and most definitely not a normal sophomore girl. On her 16th birthday, a mysterious present unlocks her family’s dangerous history and Jael’s untapped potential. What was merely an embarrassing secret before becomes a terrifying reality. Jael must learn to master her demon side in order to take on a vindictive Duke of Hell, while also dealing with a twisted priest, best-friend drama, and a spacey blond skater boy who may have hidden depths. Author Jon Skovron takes on the dark side of human nature with his signature funny, heartfelt prose.

I thought the cover was very eye catching and the description to very interesting. But at the same time I knew that there was a lot of relig...
This book had a few technical issues - the present tense/third person jarred me out of the narrative at times, as did some of the flashbacks. But it all rolled on in a well-paced way to a deliciously silly and over-the-top climax; and it didn't take itself too seriously, or over-focus on the romance...
