Slay by Kim Curran

Goodreads Synopsis:

Meet SLAY – SLAY do two things and they do them well: they play killer music and they slay killer demons.

When Milly, the lonely daughter of a world-famous opera singer, arrives home to discover that her mum has been taken over by something very evil, she finds herself in mortal danger. But the last people she expects to rescue her are the hottest boy band on the planet…

Enter SLAY: playing kickass gigs in the spotlight, and saving the world from demons in the shadows… Suddenly, Milly’s on the road with JD, Tom, Niv, Zek and Connor, racing against the clock to stop the demons who killed her mum… One thing’s for sure, it’s going to be a hell of a show!

My Review:

“He’d come up against his fair share of demonic creatures: some were all charm and bright smiles, others were wild beasts, driven only by the desire to kill. But this one…This one was something else.”

I am so thankful to USBORNEYA for providing me a copy of this book. 

At first I literally thought that the book will have one of those typical romance stories considering there is a boy band and a girl called Milly. But the story was intriguing as I kept reading. 
It’s not an every day story when the hottest boy band in the world are secretly killing demons and trying to save the world from them. 
Enter Milly, a regular teenage girls who’s life is turned upside down when she encounters a really strong demon.

“What started out as a couple of cords slowly grew and grew: chords, rhythm, lyrics, all finding their place. The song was about making new friends and knowing they’ll become old friends.”

The best thing about this book? It was a mixture of humorous, fun moments and epic action. I literally laughed out loud at various points while reading. 
Each of the boys, JD, Tom, Niv, Zek and Connor are talented in their own ways. Connor was so hilarious…?
The character development of Milly in this book was also very well done.
There was this new concept of Spanish gods (evil and good) which was incorporated really well. Even the elements like world building, the suspense and thrill were very well maintained.

I am currently reading the second part of this book and so far it’s good. I would recommend this book to all those readers who enjoy short, light reads.
