Family Demons by A.L. Sestier When fifteen-year-old Ophelia is betrayed and institutionalized for seeing moving shadows, she thinks her life is over. But those shadows are about to lead her to an ancient letter, a pair of magical train tickets, and a world hidden beneath our own - the Netherworld. There, paper can kill, mirrors are portals, and family magic comes with a terrible price. As Ophelia discovers her true identity as heir to one of the great magical houses, she must master her newfound powers to save her sister from a demonic curse. But in a realm where even love can be weaponized, choosing who to trust might be the deadliest magic of all.

Worldbuilding: Aided the story
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Descriptive
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Strong emotions
Thought Provoking: Did some research after reading
Cover: Matches the story well Content Warnings: Violence, death. Tons of cool little creatures, unique magic systems, and an entire society where powerful families fight for the upper hand. Even a dash of romance. I really hope there will be more books in this series. |
