Today I wanted to tell you about Become by Ali Cross.
Sixteen-year old Desolation Black wants nothing more than to stay in Hell where it’s cold and lonely and totally predictable. Instead, she’s sent back to Earth where she must face the evil she despises and the good she always feared.
When Desi is forced to embrace her inner demon, she assumes her choice has been made—that she has no hope of being anything other than what her father, Lucifer, has created her to be. What she doesn’t count on, is finding a reason to change—from something she’s never
had before—a friend.
I know what you are thinking: not another paranormal book but this book is different. Trust me!
10 Things I loved about this book:
- I know I always say this - but hey I don't read books much if the cover doesn't grab me. It's what I look at first. This cover is awesome.

I am actually jealous this is not my cover.
- Desi is a badass. She is so true to a teen and jumps off the page. She is flawed and I love that she's not perfect and doesn't pretend to be. She's actually okay with not being perfect. Who doesn
