Beautiful Demons (Peachville High Demons #1) by Sarra Cannon

I finished reading Beautiful Demons (Peachville High Demons #1) by Sarra Cannon a couple days ago and wanted to share my thoughts on it here on my blog.

About the Book (taken from Amazon)

In Peachville, even the cheerleaders have a dark side...

Harper Madison isn't like other girls. She has extraordinary powers, but her inability to control them has gotten her kicked from so many foster homes she's lost count. Shadowford Home for Girls is her last chance, and she hopes Peachville High will be the fresh start she needs.

But when evidence ties her to the gruesome murder of a Demons cheerleader, Harper discovers this small town has a big secret.

Beautiful Demons is a fast-paced YA novel with magic, mystery, and a touch of romance. This series will appeal to fans of Pretty Little Liars, Hex Hall, and The Vampire Diaries.


About the Author (taken from Amazon)

Sarra Cannon grew up in a small town in Georgia where she learned that being popular always comes at a price. Now, she lives in North Carolina with her amazing husband and her teeny tiny Pomeranian, Snickerdoodle. Books and music are her greatest passions. She has never been a cheerleader, but it's possible she knows a few things about casting spells.

My thoughts:

I really enjoyed this book. It was filled with twists and turns and, for most of the book, I was in the dark about what was going on as much as Harper was, so I got to figure out what was happening as she figured it out and I love when books are written that way! I loved what was happening (or not happening if you will) between Harper and Jackson. And the ending of the book completely threw me for a loop (in a good, oh-my-god-I-did-not-see-that-coming kind of way). It was a very unexpected but excellent surprise. Sarra Cannon definitely put a lot of thought and imagination into writing this book, and I'm looking forward to seeing where these characters go in the rest of the series.

I cannot wait to read book 2, but before I can do that I must get through the huge "stack" of books piling up on my Kindle.

What I'm reading now: After Forever Ends by Melodie Ramone. You can get it HERE free, if you'd like to read it. I believe today is the last day it's being offered free, so get it while you can! It's really good :)

  1. I love twisty books. Plus, I wish my hair was that color.

  2. The twists were definitely unexpected! And yes, hair that color would be a nice change from my boring brown hair, LOL. Thanks for commenting!
