Synopsis
Fresh from finding out she is a demon princess and meeting her father for the first time, Nikki Donovan is looking forward to getting back to her regular high school life. But then Rhys, the handsome teenage king of the faery realm, enrolls at her school as a "foreign exchange student." Her conflicted feelings for Rhys and her boyfriend are getting in the way of her new relationship with the Shadow-creature Michael. But this love triangle from hell isn't even Nikki's biggest problem: There's a new prophecy that claims she will destroy all the demon and human worlds. Her best friend Melinda just might be a demon-slayer-in-training. Throw in a field trip to none other than the Underworld itself . . . and Nikki's going to be hoping for a rain check on more than just her homework!

Reviews
Gr 6-10–Rowen packs this installment in the series with danger, revelations, new friends, and, of course, smoldering romance. Having determined that, yes, she is a half-demon Princess of the Shadowlands, and having foiled her aunt's attempt to murder her royal father, Nikki Donovan must still somehow navigate the perils of high school in the human realm. The attractive Faery King, Rhys, becomes a student there, claiming that there is a prophecy that Nikki will destroy them all. Her best friend, Melinda, has suddenly begun to take mysterious “ballet lessons,” though she seems to be gaining more bruises than grace. Then, when the penalty for breaking the rules about fraternizing with Shadows is made clear, Nikki breaks things off with her boyfriend/Shadow servant, Michael. Being a princess does not seem to be all it's cracked up to be. Soon, Nikki is called to the Underworld to defend herself or to be sent to death if she is determined too dangerous to live. Nikki is a feisty heroine surrounded by hot, mostly nice, guys and a kick-butt best friend. This volume gives a deeper glimpse into the demonic world that Rowen has created. Libraries owning Demon Princess: Reign or Shine (Walker, 2009) should definitely purchase it.Jessica Miller, New Britain Public Library, CT

Half-human, half-demon Nikki Donovan continues her intriguing tightrope between her semi-normal high-school persona and the knowledge that she is the potential heir to the Shadowlands throne. In this installment, she learns that her best friend, Melinda, is a demon-slayer-in-training; the faery king, Rhys, has enrolled in high school; and a dragon oracle has prophesied that Nikki, “the first Darkling born in a thousand years, will single-handedly destroy us all.” Another chilling, sometimes violent, romantic fantasy that moves from the mundane world to the Shadowlands to the dungeons of the Underground before Nikki can finish her Christmas shopping. Grades 7-10. --Frances Bradburn
