Lucifer's daughter tries to keep her identity a secret among the other teenagers attending a gothic school. Cecilia is caught in a love triangle and struggles with her inner demons. I'm sure this novel will be a delight for readers of young adult paranormal books. Thanks for your review!

This young adult paranormal novel covers the struggle of Lucifer's daughter in the human world. The premise sounds interesting, but I'm not really into this genre.

Thank you for your review. I enjoy sci/fi and fantasy, and while this is considered a young adult novel, I think I will like it. Cecelia's inner conflict, along with the mysterious secrets of the school, are intriguing.

Paranormal books are interesting in general but this book seems to have a unique story to tell.

Paranormal romance is definitely intriguing. Although the genre is not my usual read, I see the appeal and uniqueness of the storyline. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Lucifer is the dad from hell, literally, and could be a real fix. The book seems to take a thoughtful look into the rebellious spirit of the youth. Congrats on BOTD!

It's Gothic with teen drama and suspense. I like the premise though, like lucifer's daughter sounds like an interesting read

Now speaking of the devil is true here. I am totally intrigued by this book. Lucifer's daughter is tired of evil! Will she be saved?

This sounds like one of those books someone would finish reading and starts questioning everything because things around them will never look the same. I enjoy such books and I'll definitely add this to my want-to-read shelf. Thank you for the review.

This looks to be a story full of suspense and intrigue. Thank you for providing such an informative review. However, I'm not a big fan of stories involving demon themes, so on this occasion, I'll pass.

Vagabond by Mary A.J. A very interesting book to read. I liked the part of the relationship between Cecilia, Sebastian and Alexander.

I like the premise of this book above everything else, especially the dilemma Cecilia, who should be evil by nature, faces when given the choice of the two boys, one evil and the other one food. I am also fascinated by the whole plot of the story. How would it be to attend the same school with someone of Cecilia's type?. Thanks for the good review. It is very informative.

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Cecelia Harrow will be able to face the challenges of hiding her true identity especially from two men pursuing her. What happens when the two find out who she really is? Will it cost her death or theirs?

Is this already a manga? Has this been done: where a demon/monster/even demon lord attended high school and hilarious results played out about choosing to be good or evil, all while teenage romance blooms and blows up? I think it has.

I will definitely add this book to my bookshelf as a must read. I’m intrigued about how the devil’s princess is attracted romantically to fragile innocence and not wanting to destroy it. This should make an interesting read. Thanks for the beautiful review
