SUMMARY
When a summoning goes awry, suddenly booknerd Meena’s summer job becomes something drastically different. Instead of cleaning eccentric Carol’s house, she’s bound to a demon as his soul-collector. Soon Meena discovers that the boring, pageant-obsessed, bonfire-loving town that she’s never fit in to is a hotbed for soul-sucking demons, demon-hunting witches, and vampires who just wanna have fun… And then she comes into her own powers.
Could things get any stranger?
Good thing she meets new guy Jake—who gets her and still hangs around.
When Jake’s mom sends him off to his Aunt Zelda’s for the summer, he thought he’d be bored. But nothing is what it seems in this town. His aunt isn’t just odd, she’s a witch who fights demons and tries to maintain the magical balance of the town. Jake should get the hell out of there and, he would leave, except for bad-ass newbie witch Meena, who looks at him like he matters.
He never counted on sticking around,
but Meena’s bound to a demon who wants to destroy her soul—
and Jake’s finally found someone worth fighting for.
****(4) out of 5 Stars!
This was an absolutely incredible book! It starts out normal enough, then gets weird, and then weirder still, then kind of dreary and depressing, then almost hopeless... and then there's a big twist that comes out of nowhere to save the day (and the ending)!
The relationship that develops between teens Meena and Jake is adoreable and delightful to watch. Even against incredible odds and seemingly insurmountable obstacles, these two still manage to find a way to not only form a relationship but create a deep emotional bond.

Several of the peripheral characters are amazing in their own right, some in a good way and others in a bad way, some in ways that surprise us.
The ending really came out of nowhere and was totally not what I was expecting. That it occured at the hands of a kick-butt girl made it all the better!
The ending here was definitive and (against all odds, and with all things considered) fairly happy. At one point, I did not think that could possibly occur; I was certain we were headed to a major cliff-hanger, which I would have been totally upset about! But the author did pretty much wrap up the major plot points of this story. Still, there are plenty of additional items that could be addressed a sequel, and lots of other characters to be explored in addition to these two, should there be future volumes.
There were a number of questions that were never answered, which I found quite annoying. Those and the extreme angst the book made me feel at some points are why it is only getting a 4 instead of a full 5 star rating from me. But overall, it was an incredible read, and one that I highly recommend; it's definitely going on my favorties list!
