by Katherine Kim

Gibil, alone and anxiously surviving the first steps of his self-imposed exile in the Human Realm learns that humans have far greater depth to them than his kin in the Demon Realm had led him to believe.

[Richard Goodrum · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gibil, a.k.a. Michael, is learning to be human. Big John and Elizabeth, brother and sister, take him in to help on their farm. He experiences many feelings which are foreign to him. But, by the end of the story, he seems to be on the verge of fitting in.

Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Great world building. Unpredictable. Wonderful characters.

I received a copy of this book as a gift.  This is my honest review.

Good to get some backstory

It's a quick read and a great intro to the lead character in this series. I hope we get more pieces of his backstory in future books.
