Demon's Daughter, a debut novel by Amy Braun, is engaging right from the beginning. We are drawn into a world where demons and angels walk the earth. The story is told from the perspective of Constance, a young woman trying to protect her adopted sister from demonic forces. They are on the run, chased from town to town. By necessity, Constance has become an amateur demon slayer. Constance's adopted sister, Andromeda, is not quite what she seems. She has inexplicable gifts, such as healing and telepathy, and the bulk of the story focuses on the two sisters trying to discover what exactly Andromeda is. The answer, when found, is quite extraordinary.
As well as the forays into the supernatural, this book explores the depravity of human nature. Braun did an excellent job of creating loathing towards a certain character (with whom a very close friend shared a name, making it a bit difficult to read since the name conjured the image of my friend). There were several places where the next person's dialogue is on the same line as the previous speaker, making things a little confusing to parse. The story would also benefit from a bit more showing over telling. Overall, though, this was a wonderful read and I would love to explore more in this world! If you enjoy Richelle Mead's Georgina Kincaid, or Vampire Academy novels, or if you love the shows Supernatural or Grimm, you are sure to find Amy Braun's Demon's Daughter right up your alley.
