Cherry Creek #2
The Demon Within
My name is Livvy Vauss, and my life is anything but ordinary. I just barely managed to survive the past summer after being nearly murdered twice. If you ask me, that is more than enough drama to last a lifetime. Now that all the secrets are out and in the open, and I know who the Deveroux’s are, all I want to do is concentrate on my new school and surviving my senior year.
Unfortunately, I’m learning that when you’re a part of the Deveroux family, trouble follows you wherever you go. My friend, Tatum, turns out to have been right all along, and most of the students at the high school dislike me for being…well, me. If that’s not enough, I have a hot wolf-shifter pursuing me while his possessive betrothed wants me dead.
Then there’s my nightmares. They are horrific and filled with murder, they haunt me while I sleep, and I can’t seem to stop them. These dreams terrify me to the very depths of my soul. When I’m not caught up in tormenting nightmares, I am dreaming of him. He’s bad news, I know that. He’s a killer. There is no doubt in my mind that when he stalks the darkened alleys, he’s looking for prey. It’s in the way he moves, and in the way he watches the shadows in the darkness of the night. Who is he? Why do I keep dreaming of him? Why do I feel so drawn to him?
I’m beginning to wonder if I’m going to live long enough to see my eighteenth birthday. It’s three weeks away, but with everything that’s happening, am I going to survive that long?
Recommended for ages 15+.

This book is the further development of Livvy's supernatural life. There are some great plot twists in this one and some interesting new relationships and developments in old relationships. It is very engrossing although the book is a tad uneven. On the uneven side, Livvy for the earlier part of the novel became that bratty, rebellious teen that is the mainstay of poorer YA novels.
However don't be put off, ignore the brattiness, you'll be glad you did.
In the end you'll be glad to know, Livvy goes back to being the more sensible, stoic girl she started out as and we get some great new plotlines. If you like the earlier book, you should find this even better except for that one aspect.
