About the book – from Goodreads: Her mom’s a witch, her dad’s a demon and she just wants to be ordinary. But, when an insidious evil comes after her family, Sydlynn Hayle has to choose to be the normal girl she craves or step up, embrace her magic and save her coven from disaster.
Top Five Odd Things About Living in a Family with Both a Witch and a Demon
Poor Sydlynn Hayle. I feel for her, I really do. Her life is complicated enough being a teenager just trying to fit in at a new high school. Hers isn’t an ordinary life even outside the struggles of hormones and grades and soccer. Her mom’s a witch, her dad’s a demon and she just wants to be ordinary.
The cool part about Syd is how she integrates her crazy, paranormal family into her attempt to be normal. But, there are still a number of things she struggles with:
1. She’s part demon, part witch. And the two parts of her don’t exactly get along or work together very well for some reason. That means, when she loses her temper or gets excited, her demon side can pop out and take over momentarily, often with embarrassing or hilarious results.
2. Her closest friend is a demon teenager trapped in the body of a silver Persian. And he’s not very happy about it. Sassafras might be much older and wiser than her, but she’s tired of his bossy attitude and the way he wants to run her life.
3. Her little sister looks like a demon. Meira has to hide her appearance from normals every day, unlike Syd who looks human.
4. Her mother is the epitome of a coven leader, down to her silk blouses, pentagram necklace and flowing skirts. Could she be more embarrassing?
5. Her dad doesn’t live with her, at least not full time. He can only cross over into a stone effigy that the family keeps in the basement. For the majority of the time, the demon lord Haralthazar (Harry) lives on his own plane of Demonicon.
Add to the above the fact her powerful grandmother is crazy, her uncle and his girlfriend are vampires who live in cupboards in her basement and she has to move to a new town on a regular basis so the family doesn’t get burned at the stake.
All in a day’s life for Sydlynn Hayle.

This might be a young adult book but I think it’s interesting enough for an adult to want to read. Thanks for the chance to win a copy. robeader53@yahoo.com

The thing with Syd is she has a lot to deal with since she has the paranormal parts of her life but her normal part isn’t really so ‘normal’ either. Lots on her shoulders! Excellent guest post!
Thank you so much for hosting a tour stop Chrissy!
