The Demon Catchers of Milan Trilogy: Book 1
by Kat Beyer
Mia’s ordinary life is disrupted for good in the most horrifying way possible when she is possessed by a hungry and powerful demon - and saved only by the arrival of relatives from Italy, the country her grandfather fled many decades ago. Now her cousins, the charming and gorgeous Emilio and stern, elderly Giuliano, say the only way to keep Mia safe is for her to come back with them to Milan, to live, to learn Italian, to fall in and out of love, and to master the family trade: fighting all demons with the ancient lore of bell, book, and candle. Milan is not what Mia expected, but it will change her forever.
"Starred Review. To the recent crop of strong debuts in an overcrowded literary arena add this series opener...This one goes to the head of the class. " - Kirkus
"Although sometimes slow (That’s the thing about fighting evil. There are a lot of boring parts') and not quite bone-chilling enough, Beyers novel sets the stage for a thrilling sequel." - Booklist
