A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with the burden of high expectations or the feeling that they must hide parts of their identity to be accepted by their family or peer group. It speaks directly to the 'outsider' experience through a high stakes supernatural lens, exploring the tension between who we are told to be and who we actually are. The story follows Layla, a girl caught between two worlds, as she navigates a complex love triangle and a dangerous destiny. While the plot is filled with demons and gargoyles, the core emotional themes focus on self-acceptance, the nuance of good versus evil, and the terrifying first steps of independent choice. It is most appropriate for older teens due to its mature romantic themes and intense action sequences. Parents can use this book to open dialogues about the pressures of fitting in and how to trust one's own moral compass when it conflicts with authority figures.
