The Demon Catchers of Milan Series by Kat Beyer -Reading 'The Halcyon Bird' from January 13th 2015

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Mia's ordinary life is disrupted in the most horrifying way possible when she is possessed by a hungry and powerful demon--and only saved by the arrival of relatives from Italy, the country her grandfather fled many decades ago. Now her cousins Emilio and Giuliano say the only way to keep her safe is for her to come back with them to Milan, to live, to learn Italian, to fall in and out of love, and to master the family trade: fighting all demons with the lore of bell, book, and candle. Milan is not what Mia expected, but it will change her forever, in this stunningly well-written novel about an American girl who, fleeing an ancient evil, finds her only salvation in her ancestral home.

Way too much!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ so if it's her demon, why is it attacking other people and not her? And I still don't really get the not being allowed out of the house thing! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

On chapter 13 at the moment, it's still confusing me a bit. Not enjoying much really.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

No, it's confusing me too. I don't really get what's going on at all.

[Abi]

I'm going to switch to the GBR for a bit, this one's making my headache worse.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm just leaving it on text-to-speech while i do some cleaning ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ shame that she died. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ i still find it really weird that they trap demons in candles, and then leave them in the freaking shop for anyone to get hold of! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Starting book 2 now. :)

[Abi]

This book is going to feel so long! I haven't read much and i'm bored already.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ the 'creepy' moment where the little boy spoke to her with a demons voice wasn't very creepy really. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Reading little bits of this at a time, but it's still dull. Think i'll read a bit of in a bit.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ well, it wasn't very flattering that that woman thought she was a boy, and then she goes and walks into a car door! not good! (hide spoiler)]
