Demon Bound

Crossroads Chronicles, Book 1

By: Chris Cannon

Narrated by: Daniel Henning, Rachel Perry

When a summoning goes awry, suddenly book nerd 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.

Interesting start

This seems to be the first in what is hopefully a new paranormal series for Cannon. However, personally I don’t find Meena and Jake as dynamic and interesting as Bryn and Jaxon. Cannon’s dragon books hit the ground running and had better character development. I’m sincerely hoping the entire ‘Going Down in Flames’ series gets added to Audible soon.
I do see potential in a Demon Bound book series but I want to see more development around Meena learning about her powers and heritage, and more of Banes agenda/how he came to be a demon (since Meena can choose to become a demon that kinda implies that Bane may have had the same choice at some point) ………..and less of Jake and Meena smooching. That got old quick and made the book drag in places. So far, Jakes just not that interesting and I admit I was hoping he’d jilt Meena by the end for the vampire.
