[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Vagabond" by Mary A.J..]

Cornelia High is an unusual school in many aspects, starting from its ominous, gothic façade to its mysterious forefathers. Cecelia Harrow, the newest addition to its student population, is probably the most atypical of all. She is none other than Lucifer’s daughter, the mighty princess of Hell. Tired of her bloodlust and plunder, Cecelia seeks sanctuary in Cornelia High, evading the demons pursuing her. However, the school has its own secrets that soon threaten to overwhelm her sense of security. What will she discover in the dark crypts of the school? How long can she keep her identity secret? Vagabond by Mary A.J., a young adult paranormal novel, can answer these questions.

I liked the premise, which was both unique and appealing. Lucifer’s daughter attending a school and striving to mingle with the humans created an enigma. The novel captured a continuous struggle between her sense of self-preservation and intense remorse for her merciless slaughter of innocents. Despite feeling attracted towards Sebastian Nox, she could not commit herself, afraid that her demonic self would hurt him. On the other hand, she could not ignore the dark allure of Alexander Draven, either. Mary A.J. highlighted these inner conflicts and dilemmas perfectly.

The novel contained all the necessary elements required for a captivating read, including a suspenseful storyline and shocking twists. The gothic structure and the shadowy past of the school contributed to the atmospheric nature of the book. To complete the concoction, Mary A.J. incorporated vivid action scenes and demonic fights. A dash of romance featuring a teenage love triangle took the edge off the tension. Based on the twist at the ending, there will be further sequels.

The aspect I liked the most was how Mary A.J. portrayed the constant battle between good and evil. The stark contrast between the characters of Sebastian and Alexander reflected this. The former personified everything pure and noble, appealing to the human nature of Cecelia. On the other hand, the latter was an epitome of darkness, inciting her demonic half. The entire novel centered around which aspect of her character she would choose.

I found nothing to dislike about this novel. From a technical standpoint, there were very few and negligible errors. Based on my reading experience, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I would heartily recommend it to any reader who appreciates young-adult paranormal romance. However, there are a few graphic scenes of violence that might deter the more squeamish readers.

The writing was captivating and I am surely planning to read the book.

Lucifer's daughter Cecilia attends a human school. She is afraid; which sounds impossible but is true in this case. I would like to read this book. Thank you for a splendid review!

You got me when you said Cecelia is Lucifers daughter. I’m very interested in reading about the demonic fights and how those play out into the twist at the end. Thanks for the great review!

Thank you for your review!

This is a trope I haven't read much about before - and I ready heavily young adult - and the premise sounds interesting.

Sounds like this book would keep me glued to the very end.
Thanks for the wonderful review!

This looks like something I'd love to read so much! Cecelia being Lucifer's daughter, she could be as demonic as someone could get but instead she's on the 'good' end of the war. Who doesn't love stories with characters capable of massive destruction but still choose otherwise. I so want to read it, like right now.

I haven't read anything about this topic yet , so it will be interesting read for me. Thank you for your amazing review.

A fight between good and evil within oneself makes a great read. The thought that a daughter of Lucifer felt remorse for doing wrong is appealing. Definitely a want to read for me.

thank for the review.

Oh my holy God!! So interesting one! The mighty princess of hell, the Lucifer daughter is so demonic even death fears her! I got stuck to it! Amazing plot. A must read.

Oh boy! Lucifer's daughter just wants to fit in, just like any teenager. But she wants to fit in into a human world, and she IS Lucifer's daughter, so just blending in might be a problem.
I can't wait to read this and find out how Cecilia fares.

Even the devil needs love too,Cecilia as proven that by emerging herself into society in the form of a ordinary high schooler, I haven’t even read it yet and I’m intrigued but she doesn’t know what she’s gotten herself into, high school is hard. Thanks for the review

The princess of hell goes to high school sounds like a brilliant premise for a novel. I'm intrigued to hear more about her relationships with Sebastian and Alexander. Thanks for your detailed review.
