This young adult novel provides a refreshing and unique take on the angels vs demons struggle. When Thomas Walker carries out his first exorcism under duress from his Grandfather, he begins to have doubts about whether he is actually helping the demons. When his Grandfather dies, he and his mother inherit his property and relocate to the very town that Thomas is desperate to get away from. However, when meeting his new neighbours, Thomas realises that there is another path mapped out for him, and one that involves his love interest Elijah too.
I really enjoyed Where Demons Reside. Not only did the plot continually evolve to keep me guessing, the characters changed and developed so much as the novel progressed. Thomas, in particular, became much more sure of himself as well as ready to open up to other characters and stand up for himself.
Young adult novel fans and lovers of the paranormal will enjoy reading Where Demons Reside as much as I did!
