This was very YA (a 15 year-old protagonist seems like such a baby!), but still a very fun time. I missed out on this series when it was new and popular, but I would have devoured it, I’m sure. Demon hunting and magical (found) families and discovering your own powers, all fantasy tropes I enjoy. I do plan to continue with the series, though I’m hoping *certain* storylines are dropped. 🤨 iykyk
