Welcome! This is The Review, my review on YA books that I have read. I try to Blog on every book I read after I read them and I read as fast as I can but it takes me a while to read a book if it's long. I use books to escape and I hope you can escape into books yourself because it's the best place to be for me, even though most of the books I read are quite dark. Just warning you. Leave comments!

The Demon Trappers: Forbidden by Jana Oliver




Blurb:
Riley's beginning to think being a demon trapper isn't all it's cracked up to be. Her dad's been stolen by a necromancer, her boyfriend's gone all weird and she's getting warm and fuzzy feelings for someone who's seriously bad news. It's tempting to give it all up and try to be normal, but that's not an option. Because the demons have plans for Riley. And they're not the only ones.
  
Review:
One of the best books I have read in a long time. Sometimes Sequels don't work out and authors tend to do the New Moon, 'wallow in self pity because my boyfriend dumped me so I could be safe and fall in love with another good paranormal boy who fights with my ex boyfriend for my love in the third one' (try saying that three times fast.) But this was nothing like it. This had adrenaline, this had love from everywhere and this book had a hell of a lot double crossing.
The book starts only a few hours after the last one left off, which is pretty cool since nothing is missed out. Riley has made her deal with heaven, she's determind to uncover who is faking the Holy Water and finding her dad and returning him to his grave. Sounds easy enough, right, but her boyfriend Simon (Nice Catholic Boy) has gone freaky, Beck (Backwoods Boy) is even more protective and annoying and Hottie Ori is protecting her from the demon who killed her father and is now out to kill her. But this book doesn't only center on Rileys story in all of this, it follows Beck and Ori too. Beck is only about keeping Riley safe and alive, while battling his feelings for her which he has to keep bottled up. Ori, is all about the Demon he has to kill to keep Riley safe, but what are his reasons. Well, I can't tell you since its so amazing why he does it. 
The characters are as amazing as in the last book. Riley is still proving that she can Trap Demons no matter what gets in her way and who is trying to stop her. Beck is just as sweet as ever, he wants to keep Riley alive and make his old trapping partners daughter safe, while harbouring the feelings he has for her. Simon, on the other hand, I could punch the boy (but I won't since he is a fictional character) and I have decided to take him off my list of boys I wish weren't fictional. He changes after the fire at the Tabernacle and not for the better.
All in all, this book was well a truly amazing and I have recommended it to my Blogger Buddy Ciara who read it only a few minutes ago and loved the whole book just as much as I did. If you can't take advice from two fourteen year old bookworms, then who can you take advice from?
