The Demon's Apprentice | 
pickOne of the surprising best reads of my life! I didn't expect it to be so touching. The book has lovely paranormal elements, but the real meat is the depth of character Ben Reeder has put into Chance. The building of layers totally stands the test of time. I've read all 4 books in this series so far. It's fantastic! I don't doubt this,will one day be a movie. Really lovely structuring and world creation.
