the demon catchers of milan by kat beyer

Yes, it's true that Mia didn't jump right into demon hunting as soon as she took off to Italy with her relatives, but in my opinion, that only made the story all the more believable. I read several reviews that complained about the pacing or lack of action in this book, but I didn't see this as a detriment it only made it stand out more from a lot of the other urban fantasy books out there. All the major players were done so well I could picture them strolling through the streets of Milan by my side. In addition to a great sense of place, the author also did a wonderful job with the characters. I enjoyed experiencing the culture of Milan through Mia's eyes, and the descriptions depicted by the author were lush and vivid, totally immersing me in the story. Milan is not what Mia expected, but it will change her forever. Now her cousins, the charming and gorgeous Emilio and stern, elderly Giuliano, say the only way to keep Mia safe is for her to come back with them to Milan, to live, to learn Italian, to fall in and out of love, and to master the family trade: fighting all demons with the ancient lore of bell, book, and candle.

Mia’s ordinary life is disrupted for good in the most horrifying way possible when she is possessed by a hungry and powerful demon-and saved only by the arrival of relatives from Italy, the country her grandfather fled many decades ago. View at Amazon My Rating: 8 out of 10 stars
