I read this on a recommendation, and really enjoyed the preview that was posted for the kindle edition. First off, Cannon has all the marks of a great writer. I liked the characters, I liked the story and even the who-done-it revelation at the end was a surprise. I don't really care for first person, although she does a great job with it. It's even a fast read (I finished it in about five hours total). However, even with all that, I only liked it. I didn't feel as if there was anything extraordinary about the tale that made me want to read the rest of the books, which is a shame since she leaves so much unanswered at the end of the novel that no doubt progresses with her series. It's a great Sunday quick read, I will give it that, but it just didn't drive me to immediately visit Amazon for the next installment. I still think it's worth a read if you like young adult paranormal, etc. Cannon is clearly a talented author, but storywise, "Beautiful Demons" just wasn't my cup of tea.
