After Kiran saved the Kingdom Beyond from her father, the Serpent King, she is expecting to hear from her friends. Months pass and she is left alone in New Jersey but when the Demon Queen shows up in her bedroom, Kiran’s life will get more exciting. She leaves her home to go back to the Kingdom Beyond to participate in a game show and rescue Neel, the half-demon prince, who does not want her to come. Traveling with new friends and old, Kiran will have to solve riddles and battle monsters to save her friends, but will it be in time?

I really enjoyed this book. With some Indian mythology mixed in, it offered a wonderful fantasy I would like to be a part of. I can’t wait for the next one to come out.
