The Demon Trapper's Daughter is the first novel in Jana Oliver's Demon Trappers—a spellbinding young adult fantasy series. Riley Blackthorne just needs a chance to prove herself—and that's exactly what the demons are counting on… Seventeen-year-old Riley, the only daughter of legendary Demon Trapper Paul Blackthorne, has always dreamed of following in her father's footsteps. The good news is, with human society seriously disrupted by economic upheaval and Lucifer increasing the number of demons in all major cities, Atlanta's local Trappers' Guild needs all the help they can get—even from a girl. When she's not keeping up with her homework or trying to manage her growing crush on fellow apprentice, Simon, Riley's out saving distressed citizens from foul-mouthed little devils—Grade One Hellspawn only, of course, per the strict rules of the Guild. Life's about as normal as can be for the average demon-trapping teen. But then a Grade Five Geo-Fiend crashes Riley's routine assignment at a library, jeopardizing her life and her chosen livelihood. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, sudden tragedy strikes the Trappers' Guild, spinning Riley down a more dangerous path than she ever could have imagined. As her whole world crashes down around her, who can Riley trust with her heart—and her life?

My Rating: 3.5 I've heard so many good things about The Demon Trapper's Daughter and saw it on the shelves everywhere, so when I gave it a try, I expected to really enjoy reading it like other people. However, all I have to say is that The Demon Trapper's Daughter is not really my cup of tea for two...
Finally after putting it off have pulled this first book off my shelves, my expectations for this series were high going in and the more of this story I read the more it amazed/amused/and totally had my attention until the last page. Not only am I in love with the concept but the wonderfully origina...
An interesting, original premise. I'm always bummed out when the first book in a series is a cliffhanger, so be warned -- the questions raised in this book will *not* be answered in it! But Oliver is a prolific writer, and I look forward to following Riley Blackthorne's adventures.
