Demonosity

Demonosity by Amanda Ashby begins when Cassidy has a strange encounter with a knight after trying on a temporary tattoo at the mall.  She soon finds out that she has been chosen to protect the Black Rose which resides in a popular girl from school from the demons that are determined to get to it's power.  Cassidy has to juggle not only the demons but her sick father, a persistent ex boyfriend, a new suitor and learning lines for the school play.

I'm a big fan of Amanda Ashby and this book did not disappoint.  This was a fun, paranormal story with a hint of romance.  I loved Cassidy, she was a fun and quirky girl who really cared about her friends and family.  Nash, her best friend is asexual which is a character trait that isn't seen much in YA lit.

Appropriateness:  I would recommend this book to readers 12+  there is no adult content at all and the violence is very minimal making it appropriate for younger readers who like to read YA lit (however the story is complex enough for older teen readers who enjoy paranormal romance).
