Promise? by Allison Thompson, Allison Thompson

This is a wonderful debut by the author. A fast paced YA book with an interesting storyline. Our FMC, Madison, is hunted by a malevolent demon named Marcus who seeks to destroy her. Marcus is infamous for wreaking havoc and deeply affected both Madison’s and the MMC, Kyle’s, families. Madison and Kyle work together to eradicate him while navigating their quickly evolved relationship.
I’m a sucker for a good demon v. demon hunter story and I was very intrigued by how demons pursued their prey in this book. The storyline was engaging and there were a few plot twists that caught me off guard.
The downsides of this book can be attributed to its length. It’s 154 pages so everything happens quickly and I wish the characters’ backgrounds and their relationships had been flushed out. There are numerous time skips, which some are ill-placed, and those ill-placed ones made the story extremely rushed. I was also left wanting a larger final battle between Madison, Kyle, and Marcus especially because of the numerous nefarious acts Marcus committed leading up to it.
Overall, the book is an enjoyable read and I’d love to see what else this author has in store.
