Cover: Who is the girl on the cover? the main character? instantly questions emerge. After reading the book I can only imagine by the description that the girl pictured, indeed is Riley, the main character. The Demon Trappers do suggest something more than what we see normally. But Forsaken did suggest something that was given up, indeed it was many things, for Riley. The houses on the cover and the fire make you wonder what the book is about, are the demons living there? Dead people?

Plot:    
Riley Blackthorne. Kicking hell’s ass one demon at a time . . .

Riley has always wanted to be a Demon Trapper like her father, and she's already following in his footsteps as one of the best. But it's tough being the only girl in an all-guy world, especially when three of those guys start making her life more complicated: Simon, the angelic apprentice who has heaven on his side; Beck, the tough trapper who thinks he's God's gift, and Ori, the strikingly sexy stranger who keeps turning up to save her ass.
One thing’s for sure – if she doesn’t keep her wits about her there’ll be hell to pay . . .

Judgement: The first thing that I saw after opening the book made me want to read the book more. 2018. This was the year, when the book was centered. Does that mean the demons are normal after just few years of what we have now? The book was surprisingly fast paced and hardly predictable. It was something I enjoyed reading without a thought to change the book. On the other hand it was not totally unique because some books do have similar elements like in this story. But the author has tried very hard to make this unique and I loved the italic font scattered around the book which made this book at times funny and at times sad. After reading I feel as if I was on a big adventure and this book will be nothing compared to the next as the trouble has only started.
Rating-9/10. The demon trappers, forsaken - Something, many people would love.
