This was such a good introduction to this world for me. I liked meeting Abraham and seeing his past. It made me want to continue following the story to learn more about what he plans to do and how he plans to do it. I think he was such an interesting character and I love that his love for Peter is what is motivating him to escape.

I understand Peter's motivation for bringing his and Abraham's downfall, but I still would have liked for him to have been stronger.

I definitely want to learn more about demons and how they work, especially Alex's demon. I would like to know more about how the demon chooses a host and what happens to the host when they use the demon's powers. Hopefully that is explained in the actual series.

Overall: 4/5 stars. I really enjoyed this. It was a nice taste of the world, so I think I'll be picking up the rest of the series!
