Salt
Salt #1
by Danielle Ellison
Goodreads blurb: Penelope is a witch, part of a secret society
protecting humans from demon attacks. But when she was a child, a demon killed
her parents—and stole her magic. Since then, she’s been pretending to be
something she’s not, using her sister’s magic to hide her own loss, to prevent
being sent away.
When she’s finally given the chance to join the elite demon-hunting force, Penelope thinks that will finally change. With her sister’s help, she can squeeze through the tests and get access to the information she needs to find "her" demon. To take back what was stolen.
Then she meets Carter. He’s cute, smart, and she can borrow his magic, too. He knows her secret—but he also has one of his own.
Suddenly, Penelope’s impossible quest becomes far more complicated. Because Carter’s not telling her everything, and it’s starting to seem like the demons have their own agenda…and they’re far too interested in her.

About the Author: Danielle Ellison is from a small town in West
Virginia. She spent her childhood pretending to fly and talking to imaginary
friends. When she grew up, she finally flew away (in an airplane) and started
traveling the world. She hasn’t stopped yet, but someday she may decide to
settle in one place. Her real life friends would definitely like that; they
would probably also like if she stopped talking to her characters out loud.

**Received the ebook from
Entangled Teen for an honest review
The
cover is pretty and magical. It
definitely catches my eye :)
Okay,
I had not read the blurb on this book before I started reading it. I’m always trying to find more YA books to
share with my students :) I know when I saw the title that I was
thinking what a stupid title for a book as my first impression. You learn really quickly that no it is not,
and it is a perfectly fitting title :)
This
book grabbed my attention from the first chapter. It is fantastic! I even snarked at my mom on several occasions
for interfering with my reading. There
is so much action and several mysteries that keep your attention throughout the
whole book. This is the first book in
the series, and it didn’t have any
slowness or boring parts that I usually associate with the first book in a
series while you learn all about the wonderful new world an author is
creating. Danielle is a new author for me, and I will
definitely check out anything else she writes as it comes out.
Penelope
is the heroine is this book, and I love everything about her. She is a strong fighter who doesn’t take crap
from anyone. I also love the snarky
attitude she gives everyone. I don’t
like a girl is a pushover, and I love she one who is a fighter.
Carter
is the hero, and he totally compliments Penelope. He has his own snark and always pops up at
just the right time. The interactions
between Penelope and Carter are hysterical and made me laugh a lot.
This
book is a highly recommend to all YA paranormal book lovers. LOVED IT!!!
Interested in reading??
