Goodreads Synopsis:
Rokuro is from a
family of exorcists, but he’d rather be a singer, a soccer
player or anything but an exorcist! He’s forced to own up to
his own incredible potential when new arrival Benio stirs his
competitive spirit. But their rivalry gets a twist when they earn the
prestigious title of “Twin Star
Exorcists”— two supreme fighters fated to marry and
birth the ultimate spiritual warrior!
Review:
I kind of just
jumped into this book, not too sure what I was getting into. But it was pretty
good.
Rokuro wants
nothing to do with exorcists, and wants to find something else to do. But then
he gets dragged into helping a girl who refuses to ask, and later his friend
gets in trouble. Benio is on the opposite end—she wants to be the best
exorcist. They’re opposites, reacting from a tragedy.
And then they find
out that they’re the twin star exorcists, fated to make the prophesied child.
They, and their families, have similar reactions to that news.
I’m intrigued. I
enjoyed the characters, and their friends and families. They were fun, and the
humor worked really well. There was more hinting at what the two had been
through, and the serious parts were done well. The fighting was exciting, the
exorcist parts interesting, and easy to follow. I'm interested to see where the twin star-prophesied child plot will go.
I enjoyed it.
