Review: Caught in the Glow by Eva Chase
Book Description
She'll risk her heart to save his soul...
When she was a child, Avery Harmen watched her father die at the hands of a Glower—a breed of demon that feeds on dreams of fame and glory. Now she secretly protects the rising stars of Los Angeles from the demons that prey on them, determined to make sure her clients never suffer the same fate.
Then Avery finds herself assigned to Colin Ryder, a young indie rocker who just landed a major label deal. Colin is cocky, rebellious, a brilliant musician, and already in the Glowers' sights. He's also far too hot for Avery to ignore the chemistry between them—especially when she gets to know the tender side behind his celebrity facade. Though Avery knows she's falling too fast, she's willing to risk heartbreak if fanning the flames of attraction distracts Colin from his Glower-tempting antics. But Colin is keeping a secret of his own, one so big it will put both her heart and his soul on the line.
My Review
Avery's life was altered the day she witnessed a demon suck the life from her father and from that point forward she could see the Glower demons. So she decided to try and put her gift to good use and help people who might fall victim to the demons.
Colin is a young rock star, he's being watched by a Glower demon and Avery worked for the Tether Society who's function was to find a way to ward their clients without actually telling the clients why they were getting a new tattoo, a new piece of jewelry with malachite embedded into it or some other way to keep the Glowers away.
Avery is keeping the Glower away as best she can and then Colin tells her something that changes everything. It was quite shocking and made the story take a turn that I didn't care for. He's a smart guy so why is he acting so stupid?
It was an interesting paranormal read and Colin is a likable character. I liked Avery and felt for what she'd been through and why she started working for the Tether Society. It was a good romance with an interesting paranormal twist.
I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.

ReplyDeleteIt was pretty good.
DeleteNow, that's a different take on the demon paranormal type books. I hadn't heard of this one. Thanks, Mary!
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting.
DeleteUnique concept. I understand how you might be turned off from the turn the story took. Sometimes, turns in a story can prove to be a disadvantage.
ReplyDeleteThat's very true.
DeleteMY goodness, what are those hands doing?
ReplyDeleteLOL I want to know.
DeleteI am curious about the turn the story took. I like the storyline premise.
ReplyDeleteIt was a strange turn for sure.
DeleteI liked the storyline. It sounds interesting. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome.
DeleteSounds pretty good but I do hate it when smart characters act kinda dumb. I'm always like come on people lol. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too. I just want to hell at them. lol
DeleteSounds like an interesting story. Too bad one of the characters makes a dumb move and screws things up.
ReplyDeleteYep, I was really liking it up til that point.
DeleteI like the idea of demons feeding on dreams of fame and glory! There have to be millions of people out there that do this every day, so the demons should have no trouble getting what they want. Her having the ability to protect people from that fate is so interesting!
ReplyDeleteI agree with some of the other commenters...dumb smart people are obnoxious.
Do You Dog-ear?
The premise of the story was great.
DeleteI haven't read a musician themed story yet, something that I've been missing to be sure. Adding the paranormal makes this sound really good. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely interesting.
DeleteThis does sound interesting. I haven't heard of it before. Thanks for putting it on my radar.

DeleteSounds like a decent read. The world building does sound interesting, but that's too bad about that twist you didn't care for.
