Kirkus reviews Demon Princess

I can’t tell you how much I love this review from Kirkus. Waiting for reviews, especially ones for my beloved new baby new Demon Princess series, is a fretful thing. It’s sooo wonderful that they really seemed to “get” this book. 42 days till it’s out!! Woo hoo!!!

 

DEMON PRINCESS: Reign or Shine

“Sixteen-year-old Nikki’s life is straight out of a fairy tale, but she’s no damsel in distress. Just after her birthday, Nikki learns from an attractive stranger named Michael that she is heir to the throne of the Shadowlands, which separate the human realm from the Underworld. Nikki’s father, the Demon King, is dying, and she’s got very little time to decide if she’ll stay in the Shadowlands forever or live as a normal teenager. Nikki knows what everyone else wants her to do, but she ultimately wants to make her own decisions about her future, something every teenager will understand. Although she doesn’t see herself as a superhero, her will to save her threatened loved ones and take control of her own life is nothing short of heroic. The doomed love story between Nikki and Michael combines with action and mystery to entertain any reader who holds a special place in her heart for strong princesses.”—Kirkus Reviews

    A Kirkus Review!!!! And a really great one!!!! I am running out of exclamation marks!!!! (Clearly not yet!!!!!)

    Congratulations, Michelle. From what I’ve seen the Kirkus review can be a very scary thing, and you came out unscathed. Way better than unscathed!!! :-)

    I’m very happy with it. I did remove one slightly spoilerish line from the middle, but it doesn’t affect the review in any way. :)

    That’s awesome, Michelle! I can’t wait for the book! I’m on such a YA kick this year it’s crazy. Demon Princess will be a great addition to my list. :-)
