"Jael
Thompson has never really fit in. She's changed schools too many times to
count. The only family she's ever known is her father, a bitter ex-priest. And
her mother - well, she was a five-thousand-year-old demon. That doesn't exactly
help.
When Jael turns sixteen, her life changes. On the awesome side, she gains strange and wonderful powers and the attention of a cute skater boy with a knack for science. But the homicidal demon seeking revenge on her family? Not so awesome.
Steeped in ancient mythology, this is an epic tale of a heroine who balances old world with new, science with magic, and the terrifying depths of the underworld with the ordinary halls of high school."
Review:
Misfit wasn’t as good as it promised. I have been waiting to read this book for quite some time now and I was let down. On a scale of one to ten, it was a hard five. The characters weren’t very well written and the love interest was mediocre. The best part of the book, however, was Jael’s superpowers and how the author gave earth’s (they call it Gaia) elements minds of their own, which I found very interesting and unique. Other than that, though, the book was disappointing. I hope the sequel holds more promise but for now this is what we have. I don’t think this is something I would recommend, simply because it got me all built up on this story about a half demon – half human girl who is being hunted by a demon. If you think you would like it, by all means, go ahead!
