Raising Hell by Bryony Pearce
4.0
I got this as an eARC from NetGalley.
I really liked this book! It had supernaturals, magic, hell hounds and the underworld, so if you like all that you're going to love this! I thought the book was well paced and very easy to read. Ivy, the main character, is very sassy and no nonsense and I love it. In fact, I liked most of the characters in this book. An incident happened four years ago that caused a supernatural rift to open, causing teenagers everywhere to use magic against adults and other teenagers alike. Ivy is employed as a supernatural bodyguard to help prevent the use of magic at a school and she's very good at her job. That is until a student tried to unsuccessfully manifest a hell hound on the students, causing it to hunt the student instead. Ivy decides that it's her job to protect the girl and she also decides to try to close the rift, which has not been successful previously. Throw in a good looking man who just happens to be the protective older brother of the hunted student, and a talking cat...what's the worse that can happen?
