Short and sweet. Loved it and can't wait to move on. Oh wait I don't have to wait this time. Woohoo!

I realized that the series wasn't finished yet while reading this book. I was completely engrossed in the story all the way through this book. Every book has gotten a little better and this one left me wishing that the series was finished. I stopped the series at this book and will pick up the rest when the final book comes out.

(Actual rating is 4.5/5 stars.)
This series is one that I would highly recommend. I really like the way Sarra Cannon introduces and uses her characters. I really feel like in this series there are no small parts. Everyone you think is insignificant has a secret. And let me tell you, there are a lot of secrets in this series. This is a great continuation of the story and a great start to the next chapter. Love it!

Okay, I am on a Peachville High Demons Reading Fest. After reading books 1-2 today, I just completed "Bitter Demons." I am constantly amazed at how cleverly entertaining each book in the series becomes. Sarra Cannon knows how to weave a magical tale and keep the reader mesmerize.

Today's review is on The Peachville High Demons series by Sarra Cannon
Since I really couldn't find anything but good things about each book in Cannon's Peachville High Demons series, I simple read each of the four installments currently available, and decided that I would simply provide my review and opinion of the series as a whole. I did; however, provide a review of the first book, Beautiful Demons already.

Bitter Demons, the third book in the Peachville High Demons series, poses new mysteries as one gets answered.
Harper understands more and more of what is happening, however, there is still a lot to learn as the future Prima. It is time to bring in new characters and Harper meets other future primas and learns what it is like if there are two future primas from the same family line. Although she cannot believe that the second future prima is not as important as the first, she learns that it is not...more

What can I say? This is the third novella in Ms. Cannon’s Demons of Peachville High series and this one really delivers. The stakes are higher than ever, loyalties are questioned, and the Order of Shadow’s actions and agenda seem ever more dubious and shady. Harper unexpectedly learns some unsavory bits of history regarding Jackson that threatens their relationship, and she embraces strange and potent new abilities. Mary Ann remains an enigma, and Brook morphs into a mean-spirited, jealous rival...more
This book was AMAZING!!!!
I really want to cry tears of joy right now. This was so amazing, and this is just the third book.
I am really happy as to how this turned out. Like the other two books, this had me on the edge of my seat. It was IMPOSSIBLE to put down. I'd put it down and 5 minutes later I'd pick it back up. It didn't matter how mad I was, I couldn't leave it alone.
I don't think I've ever been so happy to see a book end. Granted I didn't want it to...it's Jackson. I mean....yeah there'...more

They continue to find ways to try to bind her to them and dodge answers to the questions she desperately needs. When another future Prima comes to town, Harper and she become friends. While sharing information and magic with each other, they get the idea to glamour into each other at a party. What starts out as an interesting experience turns into a nightmare when the future Prima, disguise...more
This series just keeps getting better and better. Once I had finished Inner Demons, I was happy that I had Bitter Demons just ready and waiting for me. Once you stop with one book, you just cannot put the series down and you need to keep reading.
In Bitter Demons, we get to see many different sides of many different characters. Brooke seems to be the one who is changing the most. I still haven't figured out why she has become some a b*tch, but an she sure became one fast. Huge change from the las...more

Bitter Demons is the third installment of the Peachville High Demons series and I will say that it was good. The start was a bit slow, and we're starting to get a bit lackluster with the series, but it is still pretty good. Mainly the lackluster was the beginning once the story picks up it is pretty enjoyable. I like that we learn more about our mysterious Jackson and what roll he is playing in Peachville. We also follow Harper on her journey to become Prima, she still really doesn't like the id...more
Sarra Cannon has quickly become one of my favorite authors with her Peachville High Demons series. Bitter Demons is the third book and the series, and my favorite thus far. Cannon is brilliant at weaving suspense and intrigue in her stories. She keeps you guessing throughout the story and the twists and turns are always unexpected and fascinating. The plot thickened in Bitter Demons and I couldn't put it down!

I'm addicted to this story. I'm enjoying very much following the drama that surrounds Peachville High's newest Cheerleader, and learning more about the magic that surrounds her. I didn't like this book as much as the other two that I've read in this series, but for a few additions that I found intriguing. I will definitely keep reading them, and really enjoy them.

5x5 For all 4 books!!
Ok , I read all 4 of these in the span of two days, so therefor I am doing a overall review of them. Love cheerleaders? (I don't really LOL) Love witches? (sure) put them together and you have the Fab squad of Demons Cheerleaders...
I loved everything ... the characters are all well thought out and have depth to them and the world she has sucked you into is vivid. The twists and turns and such you will never see coming and I HEART that so much in a book. Now she is working o...more

Why do something always have to come between Jackson and Harper? It's not the Order, it is Mrs Shadowford, or the cheerleaders, or Mrs Ashworhth. It seems there is always someone trying to get between them. When the cheerleaders from a rival gate town come for a football match Harper is put in the role of ambassador, showing the daughters of the rival town to a party. Of course threats are made against Harper's life again, although the perpetrators don't exactly get what they are bargaining for....more
More questions answered concerning The Order (and of course many more questions raised). We learn a lot about Jackson and his past. This YA series is really addicting and fun. Each book is very short. The author is to the point, but leaves the readers wanting to relish the mystery. Definitely not a series to start anywhere but book one. You will be confused. The way this series is pulling me in is like the Vampire Academy, but there is less angst and I haven't wanted to throw my kindle across th...more
4.5/5 stars. >.<
i couldn't find any criticism about this book other than it didn't kept me all night because i finished it about half a day. this series got me hooked.one thing that keeps it different from the rest is that it doesn't take too much of all the characters known to fiction-- a vampire, werewolves, and angels(or any immortals whatsoever) put together, to be able to make a good series as fast-paced and as flawless as this as it has all the great necessary details put together w...more

This is the third book in the Peachville High Demons series. This book brings more answers and new questions. Cannon does a great job in each of her books to give a little and then add more to the intrigue. I enjoyed the developments and the lead up to book four being heavy with Jackson. I want more Jackson! ;) Granted, who he is and the personal connection to Harper’s demon has me on edge wondering how in the world this is going play out!

Each book in this series gets better and better. So very engrossing. I'm captivated, and want more, and can't wait for the next.
The world is even further explored in this tale, and the Peachville coven is thrown into contrast. They're so much more villainous than hinted at so far. And the shadow demons are easy to sympathize with.
This novella is short, but almost in a good way. There's just enough story to feel complete, and it's just short enough to be a taste. It's the perfect size.

Bitter Demons continues Harper's story in such an intriguing way that made it difficult for me to put the book down. I loved the growing connection between Harper and Jackson, and I was especially thrilled to learn more about him. Sarra has given a lot of teasers, but she finally provides a little more foundation to this enigmatic man.

I found the first book of the series for free at amazon and decided to give it a shot. Honestly I wasn't expecting much but in 2 days I've read the first 3 books of the series! And I'm about to start the fourth one.
Such a simple and nice writing. A total page turner. I love Harper. She is a great heroine, not only beautiful but witty, brave and caring. And Jackson it's just so perfect, with the exact amount of mystery and charm.
You should read it :)

Bitter Demons answered a lot of questions for me concerning Jackson & his involvement with the witches. Bitter Demons clears up the questions of Jackson's past but also leaves some other questions about Harper & Jackson's relationship to take their place. Bitter Demons also reveals more information on Harper's mother & her death. This book also gives us a little more background on Mary Anne (not a lot but a little). Bitter Demons also introduces more characters to the story & som...more
Well after owning this book for awhile I finally decided to give it a read. Now I'm kicking myself in the butt for waiting so long to do so. From the start the story was interesting, and only got better. I absolutly enjoyed every minute of this series which I must add, I read in only 2 days. Oh, I cant wait for the next one!!
This series keeps me coming back for more. I know it's probably a bit of an adolescent guilty pleasure but it's really fun. Each book has some mystery and romance built in and the main character has been on a slow but interesting journey to discover who she is. I also love that these are relatively quick reads.
I really enjoyed this book. It's not one of those books where you feel like you already know what's coming next in most cases. Parts of it were very exciting and some parts I had to drag through. However I really enjoy how Sarra Cannon tells you just enough info to keep you reading. By the end of Bitter Demons I was once again excited to find out what happens next.
This was my favorite book of the series so far. Now I have to wait until May for the next one. Boooo! Sarra Cannon has quickly become one of my favorite new YA authors. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes creepy paranormal without vampires or werewolves.
This book was ok, not brill, I quite easily put it down and went and done housework,so definately not in my list of top 10. I found the book quite boring, I read the first 2 hoping that it may get better book by book but no I was mistaken.
Best one yet. This one had a lot to keep you interested, and it was very difficult to put down. I didn't see the ending coming - which is a very good thing.
My only problem with this book is that I have to wait for the next one!!
