Did anyone else finish? I know @SnShne322 is almost done.

Overall, I liked it and am thinking about picking up the next one.

I finished! I finished!

I liked it!  It was a quick, entertaining read.  I like Cady a lot.  I wasn't sure how I felt about Lon in the beginning, but he really grew on me.  I was reading another book at the same time on audio about a 24 year old and a 40 year old.  I don't have a problem with it, but I didn't like the older male character in the other book, so I think it colored my view.  With Lon it was done so much better.  He seemed youthful, yet worldly while the other author just kept reminding me how he was graying.

I didn't particularly like the sacrificial ritual that her parents did, but I think it leaves her far more independent and is going to make her a stronger character.  I'm not sure if I understood this right.  Did she give her parents to the demon and the demon was going to kill them?  I didn't know how she was going to get around killing them herself since they were just going to keep trying to come after her, but it still made me feel weird.  the only consolation was that they would have died by the Luxe either way, so dead is dead?

Yay! I am glad you finished. I feel the same way about Lon. His demon form sounded cool; I wonder if Cady might be able to do something similar if she gets empowered?

Her parents were total wackos! I think she's going to have to do more work to come to terms with them trying to kill her to steal her powers. The giving them to the demon was also how I understood it as retribution. I think it will be interesting to see how the powers work out for her now that they have been awakened.

I loved Jupe! I felt sorry for the girl they kidnapped. Although, neither of them really had a problem with changing people's memories or holding them against there will. It makes sense that Cady is a bit like that since her parents were (though that was a whole different level).
