Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Cami Anders uses one word to describe her life: Purgatory. What she doesn’t know is she’s closer to Hell than she thinks.
On the run from the demon that killed her parents, Cami struggles to find her place on the fringes of the Veiled Realm, the part of the world where demons and other creatures lurk in the shadows. Striving to find a normal life in the care of a former demon hunter, who would punch even an angel to protect her, is harder than Cami ever imagined. There’s nothing ordinary about sipping holy water like it’s her beverage of choice, having stare-downs with animalistic demons, and relying on a hunter with enough secrets to fill an ocean to keep her soul safe.
When the demon from Cami’s past arrives to collect her soul, which he believes is rightfully his, she must unravel the secrets her protector has spent the last three years keeping from her. She finds herself questioning her existence and learns that running isn’t the answer. The only way to find normalcy is if she fights for it. But is it worth the risk of losing everything, including her soul, in the end?

Review
I was hired to proofread this book. As far as I know, the author was not aware that I would be reviewing afterwards. It was not part of our agreement. I simply review every book I read, and reading is an important part of proofreading. If you feel my connection to the book makes my review untrustworthy, so be it, but this is my honest review.
I really like the basic idea of this story, that there is a realm for angels and demons that most humans just are not aware of, except those with a direct connection to it. The story got off to a really intriguing start that made me want to know more and keep reading.
I didn't really understand while reading why Alana never taught Cami how to fight demons herself, since they were apparently a pretty big threat to them. But there is a reveal nearish to the end that I suppose may explain her reluctance. I still don't really get it, but I sort of understand, I guess.
I was definitely drawn into this world and I very much look forward to reading more from this series. 4.5 out of 5 stars. - Katie
