I won a copy of this book in Elle Casey's January Anniversary Indie Book Giveaway.Great book if you like YA post-apocalypse and/or demon narratives! In this case the apocalypse is of the demons-take-over-the-world variety.If this book weren't the first in a series, I might say that the fictional world and its mythology are slightly underdeveloped, but since there is at least one sequel already it doesn't bother me too much. I am assuming that this stuff gets more fleshed out in the sequel (which I will definitely be reading). My only remaining quibble is that the whole book takes place over the course of just a few days, perhaps a week at most, and the (rather large) amount of character development that takes place during that time seems a little excessive. Perhaps if we were given more back story about the heroine, Rebecca, and how she had already matured between the end-of-the-world and the start of the story here. There are some other characters, such as Carter, that I also wish were more fleshed-out but again, perhaps the sequel will do more of that.
