About the Author:

Penelope King is a native Californian who now lives in beautiful South Carolina. She says "y'all" more often than she'd like to admit, eats more fried food than is probably healthy, and still hasn't gotten used to the scary thunderstorms that seem to appear from out of nowhere.
She stays up way too late and does the bulk of her writing in the witching hours. She rarely misses a sunrise, and needs to include a special "thank you" in her book credits to Starbucks caramel frappuccinos.

 
Goodreads Synopsis:

Some girls share clothes, a bathroom, or a bedroom. Seventeen-year-old Liora Greyson has to share, too. Only she shares her body--with a demon.

Liora just wants to survive her final year of high school unscathed, her dark secret intact. But the walls she’s carefully constructed to keep people away crack wide open once she meets the sexy and mysterious Kieron, and he lights her world on fire. She can’t let him know she transforms into a demon named "Lucky" at nightfall—a demon with an entirely separate personality who passes out Torment, Justice, and Revenge like Halloween candy.

Turns out Kieron is the one who should be afraid once Lucky discovers his true identity and motivations. Liora wants to love him, but Lucky thinks he’s public enemy number one. And having a demon with a vendetta show up during a romantic date puts a serious crimp in any relationship.

Fighting your demons is one thing. Having one that fights back, messes with your guy, and leaves you with nasty hangovers is quite another.

Being bad has never been so good...
When she's not writing, she's reading any and all YA out there, swimming, kayaking at the river, doing Zumba and kickboxing, or watching a trashy reality show. She can BBQ better than most men, and if she had to marry a food it would probably be pizza, but she'd cheat on it with sushi.

My Review:

I gotta say I was really excited about reading this book, the blurb was compelling as hell and guess what it didn´t disappoint.
We met Liora and Lucky
Liora is your average young woman, well average isn´t the correct word to describe her but, you´ll get the idea.  Liora is a lovely and lonely girl that passes her time between school and tending to her blind grandmother. She just has one friend on her whole world and her biggest dream is to be complete again and to be able to love and be loved.
Lucky is a Demon one that doesn´t takes crap from nobody and her solely purpose in life it´s to make a wrong right, to impart justice to those who destroyed her life; her biggest regret not being able to stop evil when she was younger.
When Kieron appears he disrupts both of their worlds, in a way that may change girl and Demon Forever.
This book in one word is expectacular I loved it from blurb to end I look forward to read more about this amazing story.
The change in perspectives is at no time distracting, all the characters but one are very well developed and the one that’s isn´t I guess is cause she´ll play a fundamental part of the ending of this magnificent series.
A great and fresh plot is what traps you from the start, it´s unique romantic but dark in nature.
You guys should read this ASAP
