Star Eater
Enter a different kind of L.A., where mobsters are daemons, high school students are possessed, and frozen yogurt is the first step to solving every problem.
Kai is possessed by his demon, Akuma, and has been for eleven years. And for eleven years he's managed to keep that tidbit of information a secret. His parents think the strange side effects of having a pet demon are due to a physical disability, but boy and demon have reached a happy equilibrium, and leaving Kai's parents in the dark is essential to that.
Life is, well, not grand but serviceable until a mobster recognizes Kai and Akuma for what they are, and he needs Kai's power to break out a very dangerous criminal. As Kai gets sucked into the L.A. supernatural underground, he finds that the mob knows more about his demon than he does and what he doesn't know is very, very dangerous.
As Kai and Akuma try and navigate through the sea of other monsters in the dark, they have to do it while pretending to be the most mysterious creature of all: a normal teenager.

Nothing special but nothing terrible either

Star Eater is not my typical genre to read, but I really enjoyed this book! From the beginning, I was drawn into the story of Kai, who was possessed by a demon when he was young because he decided to eat a star. Along with Kai and his demon, Akuma, the tale includes murder, mobsters, teenage angst, and love. Oh and potential life ending, nuclear-like, potential-to-start-an-apocalypse explosions. How does Kai handle it all? Read the book to find out!
