Review: Incubus (Daughters of Lilith #2) by Jennifer Quintenz

Goodreads

Blurb:

Braedyn Murphy used to think nothing important ever happened in her sleepy town of Puerto Escondido. But that was before she learned she was a descendent of Lilith, the mother of all demons. Now Braedyn fights to protect humanity from the Lilitu - the beautiful, souls-stealing daughters of Lilith.

As she fights the Lilitu, Braedyn must also fight her growing love for her boyfriend Lucas - because even a simple kiss could end his life. Their only ray of hope is an angel’s offer to make Braedyn human, but it’s an offer she can’t accept until the world is safe from the Lilitu.

Braedyn knows she’s a key player in this ancient war... but she’s not ready to believe she just might be humanity’s best hope of surviving the final battle for Earth

Review:

Uh, Oh, Things are starting to get real for Braedyn. Coming out of Thrall there was a lot of sky high ups, like saving the day but there were a lot of unanswered questions to be answered and Incubus just made things a lot more complicated. Honestly I mean complicated in the best sense because the world expanded by leaps and bounds here. We find out there is a male version of succubus called incubus and that not much is known about him in The Guards world, which of course means danger lies everywhere. Braedyn goes through a growth spurt in this second installment that is both negative and positive and it's what I look for in a YA heroine that is growing up.

The negative is the way she pulled away from her friends and family. However, this is part of being a teenager so I applaud the author for showing a real life situation in the midst of a crazy fantasy paranormal world. She makes mistakes and that's okay because I expect a girl of her to make mistakes. It makes the story seem authentic but still being this awesome supernatural story. It also gives Baedyn the opportunity to learn from these challenges and grow into a hero that I can love. She did that in this story multiples times and I feel like this sequel has set her up to great things in the future of the series. I would have liked to see some progress in a couple of her relationships, such as Karayan, but as far as moving the plot along this sequel was no slump.

Mrs. Quintenz also got me. I didn't see the ending coming at all and when an author gets one over on me that is rare because usually I can see a plot twist coming a mile away. Not here. I audibly gasped and scared my dog who was sleeping next to me in the wee hours of the morning. She kept it fresh, she kept it moving and she kept it real and everything about this book I loved. I'm a little afraid of where we are heading in this epic battle between good and evil but I am so on this train, I have booked my seats way in advance and can't wait to see what will happen with Braedyn and all her loved ones!- My Opinion- ****4 Stars!

Again, I'd be thrilled for your honest review if this sounds like the kind of story you'd enjoy.  If not - no problem, I understand there are lots and lots of books to read and far too little time to read them all.
