Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) Fifteen-year-old Nora Salvatore thinks wizards, fairies, dragons, and demons are the stuff of myth, but she is wrong. Nora is thrown head first into a life of magic and chaos after learning of a mysterious legend surrounding her birth and the magical powers she is supposed to possess. When an army of demons from a parallel world plans the eradication of mankind, only she can close the portals and keep the demons at bay. Can she learn to harness her new-found powers in time to stop them?

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.

This was a nice, light fantasy tale. While there is an overall threat that must be vanquished, the story is also about a girl learning about her true heritage and growing up a little. There's a nice lesson about how there is no strict evil or good to people - that everyone lives in a grey area and tend to lean one way or another. For a first novel, this was pretty good, and I look forward to future novels from this author.
