Kate's life is far from normal. She can see Auras, her boyfriend is immortal, and her powers make her a target.

Packed with action, mind-blowing plot twists, and characters you can't get enough of, this is a fast-paced, heart-pounding read from cover to cover.

Amazon* || Goodreads

Demons pretty much picks up where Seers left off and it focuses more on the demons. Well sort of. We see more of the demons in this one as well as some new seers. 

In Demons we see the relationship between Patrick and Kate further and it's a very tamed, innocent and sweet thing to see. Patrick is quite the gentleman! We see more of Kate and Lee's friendship and is it just me or does Lee remind anyone else of Harper from Wizards of Waverley Place? There's a lot more scenes with Kate and her family as well. The twins are still... well annoying twins. We also see a very sweet friendship blossom between Kate and Aaron. 

Kate is still being tracked down by the Demon Lord and Selena is still being a dumb %!&@$. Oh and Kate is still being self sacrificing which really isn't a cute trait. I get that you know, some serious stuff goes down with Patrick but really she needs to explore more options beside just serving herself up on a pretty silver platter. Also Toni wasn't as funny as he was in the first book. We get a glimpse of Patrick's life before he was a guardian and it was interesting.

I don't have that many thoughts or opinions on this book. And I really hate when that happens. To be honest the beginning was sort of slow and there's a bunch of drama that happens but it isn't until the end when things get really intense and good. The last chapter especially!! OMGOSH! There are a few twists and turns that made me gasp with surprise and yes, I'll be looking forward to the third book too. But that beginning, man was it slow! Also it bothered me that the death of Kate's grandfather was sort of brushed off like no big deal.

I really hate when I don't have a strong opinion about a book, because then my reviews look like this... all monotone lol. Oh and the guy in the cover? He's going to blow your mind!!

o0.| My Thoughts |.0o

Seers is about a girl named Kate who survives an accident, but her parents don't. She's left living with her grandparents (which are the cutest things EVER) and her twin sisters. But that's not all, Kate can see auras and she has a best friend who knows this secret (I don't know how I would ever bring this up to another human being). She also has a boyfriend (who I personally think is a douchebag) and she's trying her best to get her life back on track.

Seers kinda feels like de ja vu, doesn't it? And at first I felt that way, until Patrick comes strolling in. Mysterious, handsome, what-the-heck-is-he-doing-here (because we met him in the first chapter) Patrick. But Patrick wasn't just mysterious in the fact that Kate didn't understand why he was there, but it's a mystery for the readers too because... what the heck happened to you Patrick?! Along with Patrick, you get Toni. Ah, Toni... misbehaved, hilarious and just *sigh*. I reallyyy liked Toni. He was the humor, and he's horrible at following rules.

Seers took me by complete surprised, I thought I was in for a familiar ride but I was wrong. Kate does a pretty good job of handling herself even though she doesn't really know what she's doing. The concept of the guardians was an intriguing one, just like Kate, I was eating up everything Patrick had to tell about his experience and what this all was. And Kate's grandpa? He totally kicks butt, I LOVE him! Finally a story where the adults are present and a pleasure to be around! 

While I did love the characters and I really liked the plot, for some reason I didn't LOVE this novel. I really wanted to, but I just didn't. I am completely looking forward to the next novel though!
