"As if trying to fit in at a new school isn't stressful enough, sixteen-year-old Nikki Donovan just found out that her long-lost father is, in fact, the demon king of the Shadowlands—the world that separates and protects us from the Underworld. When she is brought there by the mysterious—and surprisingly cute—messenger Michael, she learns that her father is dying, and he wants her to assume the throne. To complicate matters, a war is brewing between the Shadowlands and the Underworld, her half-demon qualities are manifesting, and her growing feelings for Michael are completely forbidden. Ruling a kingdom, navigating a secret crush, and still making it home by curfew—what's a teenage demon princess to do?" - Book Cover
Nikki lives with her mother and moves from town to town as her mother marries and divorces. Nikki's mom as it her 4th marriage when they move in Erin Heights, Ontario, Canada.
Nikki tries to live an as normal life as the "new girl" can live and it's about to change very abruptly when a strange stalker tries to convince her her father is a demon and she's a half-demon princess. Yeah Right! Crazy much?
Well not so much...
Demon Princess: Reign or Shine was a quick, fun and awesome novel! Michelle Rowen latest release will be a hit I'm sure of it! A special teenage girl, a dark, strange and awesome boy and a fabulous story. What else can a reader ask for?
I read the book in only a few hours, I couldn't put it down! I don't wanna sell the plot but it's nicely built, some characters aren't what they seem and everything unfolds at the very end. I can't wait for the next instalment, Demon Princess: Reign Check, coming out June 2010!
Read the first 2 chapters! (scroll down a bit when get on the page)
