Somerville, Mass. : Candlewick Press, 2014.
343 p. ; 22 cm.
This was just what the doctor ordered. A fun, excitingly plotted high school adventure and romance featuring the drama crowd and - unexpectedly - a very handsome young male librarian who just happens to be a demon wreaking havoc on the school for his nefarious plot to take over the underworld throne...
Sounds crazy, right? Yes. The best part is that the book just rolls with the nonsense and if your roll with it you get caught up in the main character's heroic quest to save her best friend from an eternity of being a demon's consort, to save her school from a pending massacre, and to - create the best stage props ever for the school production of Sweeney Todd.
It's a really enjoyable mix of the supernatural plus high school friendships/romance plus thrills and danger. If you've been lost in following the hellish news of the world, this fun romp with a strong female hero is a welcome break.
