Raising Hell by Bryony Pearce
4.0
"I know what you're thinking, but I'm not half faery, or demon, or angel or anything like that. Mum's a Body Shop consultant living in a bungalow in Birmingham and Dad enters crossword competitions."
Once upon a time there was a girl, a talking cat, and the apocalypse.
It sounds like the start of a joke, but Ivy's life is anything but - a while ago she had just a normal life but after a very stupid thing she did Dark Matter is slowly leaking into the world, easily accessable by everyone who knows how to turn on a computer.
Hell is coming to earth and Ivy has no idea what to do next.
Raising Hell was a hilarious riot of a story with non-stop action, bloody fights and absolute absurdity. It packed a punch right from the first chapter and kept going - in less than 250 pages this story was ridiculously fun and easy to read, with some very cute moments scattered throughout. Featuring what could have been very typical storylines, Pearce gave her own unique spin on the supernatural. Ivy was instantly best friend material and it was a pleasure to watch her descent into the bowels of hell.
Also ... talking cat.
