I really liked her relationship with Finn. Nina was a fine main character, willing to sacrifice for her sister, even keep her head down at the beginning and do what was necessary to keep them both safe. He comes to get Nina to join him and his ragtag band of true exorcists, and there are just so many super cool possibilities for his character, that I literally cannot wait to see what happens. But that happened more than once here.įinn is an awesome concept and character, and I can’t wait to see what Vincent does with him next. It’s not often that I stop in a book, laugh at how crazy something is, then stare at the page and try to make sense of it. That’s the real strength of The Stars Never Lie Rachel Vincent has a lot of creativity. There were so many interesting twists in this book. And when Nina discovers she’s a real exorcist, not like the ones consecrated in the church that chant Latin and throw holy water at demon possessed, but a real exorcist with special powers, she becomes an even bigger threat that the church immediately wants to put down. They have all sorts of insane laws and punishments, and only when Nina and her sister Melanie get into serious trouble does this become a real problem.

A fanatic church has become the entire government, claiming they are the only ones keeping what’s left of humanity safe from the demons waiting to possess and eat their souls. I found the setting to be creepy and terrifying, as with most dystopias. First of all, it’s one of the better dystopias I’ve read recently. There are a lot of fascinating things about this book.

This was one of those books that I picked up without even reading the synopsis. She needs Finn and his group of rogue friends just as much as they need her. Wanted by the Church and hunted by dark forces, Nina knows she can't survive on her own. But what kind of exorcist wears a hoodie? To keep them both alive, Nina will need to trust Finn, a fugitive with deep green eyes who has already saved her life once and who might just be an exorcist. And Mellie's sin has put her in serious trouble. Because in New Temperance, sins are prosecuted as crimes by the brutal Church and its army of black-robed exorcists. When Nina discovers that Mellie is keeping a secret that threatens their very existence, she'll do anything to protect her. They gave up on their deadbeat mom a long time ago. Watching over her younger sister, Mellie, and scraping together food and money are all that matters. Her town's population has been decimated by soul-consuming demons, and souls are in short supply. Sixteen-year-old Nina Kane should be worrying about her immortal soul, but she's too busy trying to actually survive.
