I won a copy of this book in Elle Casey's January Anniversary Indie Book Giveaway.Oh boy, what a ride!Caden Butcher, teen exorcist, read a bit like a John Constantine (Hellblazer) for a new generation. He definitely has the attitude as well as the vulnerabilities. The slightly-alternate world -- basically the same as our modern reality, but for demon possessions and the raising of the dead being relatively common and normal parts of life -- was executed splendidly. It hooked me right in from the first page.The tongue-in-cheek title "Demons of the Rich and Famous" is perfect, too. It sets tone and shows black humor a lot better than "The Demon Whisperer", the alternate title.I really loved this, and look forward to Book 2.To use an expression I normally dislike: This is not your mother's YA.Unless, of course, your mother is a secret bad-ass.
