The Novice by Taran Matharu

4.0

4.5 stars. I love the group of characters in this story, Fletcher is now one of my favorite protagonists in a YA series. This book kind of gives a Harry Potter meets Pokemon vibe. I'm not a Pokemon fan, but I loved the idea of being able to summon a demon, and have it be more like a pet. The story is well written and I easily got lost in the world created between the pages. It was the ending that threw me! I literally shouted "WHAT!?", and that doesn't happen often! A very clever ruse to get me to buy the next book in the series...oh well, on to book 2!
