Book blurb:
“Welcome to Braedyn Murphy’s life. She’s a typical—if shy—sophomore navigating the slings and arrows of high school life with her two best friends, Royal and Cassie.  Then a new boy, Lucas, moves into the house next door, and Braedyn finds herself falling in love for the first time.

But Braedyn’s normal life comes crashing down around her ears when she learns she’s a descendent of Lilith, the mother of all demons - and that she might play a critical role in an ancient war between the Sons of Adam and the Daughters of Lilith. Turns out the right answers aren’t always clear or easy.  And as for “good” and “evil” – it all depends on how you choose to act.

Inspired by the ancient Mesopotamian myths of Lilith and her offspring, Thrall explores first love, strong friendships, and taking on adult responsibilities against the backdrop of powerful supernatural forces and life-and-death stakes.”

The Daughters Of Lilith: Book 2

Authored by Jennifer Quintenz
Cover design or artwork by Jennifer Quintenz
Braedyn Murphy used to think nothing important ever happened in her sleepy town of Puerto Escondido. But that was before she learned she was a descendent of Lilith, the mother of all demons. Now Braedyn fights to protect humanity from the Lilitu - the beautiful, souls-stealing daughters of Lilith.

As she fights the Lilitu, Braedyn must also fight her growing love for her boyfriend Lucas - because giving in to temptation could end his life. Their only ray of hope is an angel's offer to make Braedyn human, but it's an offer she can't accept until the world is safe from the Lilitu.

Braedyn knows she's a key player in this ancient war... but she's not ready to believe she just might be humanity's best hope of surviving the final battle for Earth.

Fans of Braedyn Murphy, the wait is over.  Book 3 of the Daughters of Lilith series is now available.
Just when Braedyn Murphy thought she understood the danger descending on Puerto Escondido, a new threat arrives. A cult devoted to Lilith has taken up residence in the little town, and when Cassie gets tangled up its intrigue, Braedyn realizes she might have to chose between protecting her friends and stopping Lilith from reclaiming this earth.
With her duties to the Guard wearing on her, Braedyn turns to Lucas for solace. Together they wonder if now is the time to claim their one night together—knowing that one night is all they may ever have.
Darker forces have their own plans for Braedyn and the Guard. Braedyn knew this fight could be brutal—but how much can one girl be asked to sacrifice in order to save the world?

My Reviews:
Book 1 Thrall introduces the reader to Braedyn and her ancetry. I really enjoyed this book and that it was based on Mespotamian myths. I could tell that the author researched these myths with the way she wrote about them. It was interesting to read how a high school girl dealt with so much. I also liked Lucas and how he was related to the plot. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own. 
Book 2, Incubus, relates to teenage girls that fight with their mom. Most teens do, and it was fun to read a demon twist of something so common. Braedyn has to make a decision. She can fight for humanity, or the man she loves. As if that was not tough enough she also had to deal with her new identit and how it affected her and her loved ones. I liked that her dad had a role in this book and it added an extra twist to the plot. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
Book 3, Sacrifice, is about Braedyn's friends and how they respond to her. It was interesting how her mom acted and it is no wonder that she is a demon. There is a battle in this book, and it will determine the fate of the characters. Lucas is starting to get on my nerves, either be her boyfriend forever or not. I did not like the idea of one night, and thought that he needed to man up. This was my favorite book of the series, and I liked that I got to know the characters better. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
