A review by penkay
Demon Leap by Tricia Owens

5.0

I am a big fan of Ms. Owens’ Moonlight Dragon series, and I was excited to see a new series written by her. The first thing I have to say is how original the plot is in this book. One of the big things is a hotel where things aren’t what they seem, and the rooms of the hotel hold many monsters, some of which aren’t friendly. To tell the truth, I’m not sure if “normal” people stay there or not, but that isn’t really relevant to the book. Also, the magic that the characters use are slightly different than what I’ve seen in paranormal/urban fantasy books. I really enjoyed the fresh take on magic. As I’ve come to expect from the author’s other books I’ve read, this book was well-written, the characters were engaging and sympathetic, and the action was great. For fans of her other books, I found this one to be a little bit darker. I am certainly not complaining as I really enjoyed it and it isn’t really that dark, but I wanted to warn those who like more light-hearted books. If you are a fan of urban fantasy, give this one a try! Highly recommend! Thanks to the author for the e-copy which I voluntarily reviewed. This same review will be posted on both Goodreads and Amazon.
