At eighteen years old, Cassidy has suffered more loss than most…

At the end of her senior year, her boyfriend, Jace Peters, was killed in a car accident, and her grandmother died only weeks later of a heart attack. Emotionally lost, Cassidy desperately searches for an heirloom her boyfriend was wearing in the crash—her mother’s gold ring. But during her search, Cassidy discovers more than her ring.

She finds a gate to the Demon Realm….

A battle is brewing, and Killian—head of the Demon hunters—preps his Clan for the approaching conflict. They’ve been working to secure the gate between his realm and the mortal world. But it’s been nearly impossible since Rya—a voracious demon on a quest to expand her power—devoured the soul of his Clan’s necromancer. Now Rya is possessed with the necromancer’s powers and she may break through the gate at any moment.

Apparently Rya isn’t the only one Killian has to worry about…

When Cassidy accidentally crosses into the Demon Realm, Killian can’t understand how a human girl survived the transition. Now he has to find a way to return her to her own world, or risk her being caught in the crossfire, which is a complication he definitely doesn’t need.

Once back in the Human Realm, Cassidy readies herself for battle. She signs up for Krav Maga classes, where she meets Tyler Romaitis—a handsome, tenacious, humble guy. He seems almost perfect, but nothing is ever that easy.

And as the balance between good and evil shifts, Cassidy finds herself—and her ring—at the heart of the conflict for the survival of mankind.

Book ReviewReviewed by Melinda Hills for Readers' Favorite

The balance between good and evil is shifting and 18-year-old Cassidy Kavanaugh is drawn into the battle without having any idea why or how in Between the Bleeding Willows: The Demon Hunters Series, Volume 1 by D.A. Roach. Emotionally drained and confused after the tragic death of her long-time boyfriend, followed within weeks by that of her Gram, Cassidy is searching for answers. A good luck charm she had given Jace was not recovered from the car wreck, so Cassidy goes to the site of the crash to look for it. The search takes her to the abandoned cemetery, said to be haunted, where she does find the ring, but also so much more - she 'falls' through a gateway into the home of the Clan in the demon realm. This has never happened to a human before so the demon hunters, products of angelic and human blood, need to figure out why. This brings Cassidy in touch with her deceased boyfriend, Jace, who has been turned into a demon, and into the conflict between the demons and the hunters. Will she be able to help maintain good in the world or become a pawn in a dangerous conflict?

D.A. Roach has created an exciting paranormal adventure in Between the Bleeding Willows, Volume 1 of The Demon Hunters Series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story and appreciated the author's imagination and the development of the characters in their separate realms. Strong characters, an interesting conflict between different human and nonhuman factions, and intense action keep you turning the pages, anxious to see just how it all comes together. Follow Cassidy on her quest to discover just what role she plays in the major battle to come. Nicely done!

D.A. Roach is a USA Today Bestselling and award winning author who has been telling stories since she was a young girl in the suburbs of Chicago. D.A. did not find a love for books until after college. Her parents were immigrants from Lithuania and found tv and radio easier ways to hear stories so they did not do much reading or encourage it. But once she finished college and D.A. had free time, she discovered how amazing it was to get lost in a story.

D.A. is a full time mom and wife. When she is not doing domestic things (laundry, bills, etc) she is writing, reading, creating mixed media art, advocating for a rare disorder, and gardening. Oh, and she is ALWAYS listening to music. Her favorite authors include Rebecca Donovan, Richelle Mead, Larissa Ione, Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, and Nicole Williams. Reading great works from authors like these has motivated D.A. to write her own stories. She hopes to make positive changes in the world with her art and writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beware of holes under trees, you just may end up in a demons med unit

I was hooked on this book with the first sentence. I love ghost, paranormal, mystery, fantasy stories. I have never read D. A. Roach's work before, but she is something else, in a good way. She had me at first believing that this could be a true to life story. Until Cassidy fell down the hole, then I thought of Alice in Wonderland. It kind of turned out like that, but in a demon/demon hunter way. The story grew more mystery as you read on and full of surprises. But the twists and turns are the best part. I found that they kept me guessing what's next at every turn.
Cassidy is all alone, her Mom died giving birth to her, her boyfriend died in an car accident and her Gram passed just recently from a heart attack. She has no idea who her father is, just that he gave her Mother a special ring to show his love just before he left her.
One day Cassidy went to an old abandoned cemetery to see if she can see her boyfriend. She did and chased after him and ended up falling into a very deep hole, that seemed to go on forever. When she woke, days later, she was not in Kansas any more. She healed from a guys tattoo and was now bonded to him.
As she got to know the clan and how they lived, she didn't want to leave. But the head of the clan told her that it wasn't safe for her there, that there was something big coming. Cassidy wanted to learn to fight and stand with the clan. She ended up back at home.
There is so much more to this story. You have a demon queen, a human (?) indebted to her and tries to use Cassidy as payoff. His son bonds with Cassidy to save her life and her other bond breaks. Things go terribly wrong and then before you know it you hit "to be continued". Trust me you are going to want book 2 asap!
If book 2 is anything like this one, I won't be able to put it down either. D. A. Roach has an fantastic story line going here and it makes you want more. Her writing is steady and she keeps you glued to the book. This a must read to add to your to be read list.

Re-Read Review 5-1-2018

I just love this book! First page sucked me in, but the next page sounded familiar and the next and the next. I went to my reviews on Goodreads and sure enough, a few years back I read and reviewed this book. I like it so much, that I read it again. Still as exciting and mysterious as the first time and knowing the next part to come, made it even more exciting.
Cassidy, a human, lost to grief finds herself falling and landing in a bed in a medical ward she has never seen before. Killian is the clan leader and by giving his blood, saved her life. Then one day she was extremely sick, on the verge of death and a friend helps her by giving his blood to her. Now she has demon hunter blood, some kind of witch or demon blood and her own. This mixture could only bring trouble and boy it did.
Full of surprises, Magic, action, paranormal, suspense and a hint of romance, this book gives you the works and doesn’t disappoint you in any way. Now I have to read book 2 again!

Cassidy is an 18-year-old who has suffered a lot of loses in her life. Her mother died giving birth to her, she’s never known who her father was, and at the end of her senior year her boyfriend of four years dies in a tragic car accident. Then just weeks later, her grandmother, who raised her all her life, passes away of a diagnosed heart attack. Thoroughly devastated by these tragic losses Cassidy pulls away from the world around her. One evening she goes in search of the ring that was given to her that once belonged to her mother. She had given it to Jace after an incident of his own, and it was never recovered after his tragic accident. While searching for it at the scene of the accident, she believes that she sees him in the shadows, but it couldn’t be him. He was dead. Cassidy returns again and finds the ring, but what she also finds is so much more. She discovers that there are demons and demon hunters. She also learns that her ex-boyfriend is now a demon, and a very dangerous one at that. Cassidy wants to help him, but is that even possible? She wants to join up with the demon hunters but Killian, a demon hunter, doesn’t think that she’s strong enough. Danger is heading their way and Cassidy is going to find herself right in the middle of it all.
Between the Bleeding Willows by D.A. Roach is book one in her The Demon Hunters series. I am an avid fan of paranormal novels, so I was curious to see where this story was going to go. Cassidy is an interesting character. She’s been through a lot in her young life. Overall, I feel that this story flows pretty well. The story focuses mostly on Cassidy starting from after/around the time that her grandmother passes away. While she is looking for the ring that belonged to her mother, she is pulled into another realm. She learns about demons and demon-hunters. The story shifts to following Killian and what he experiences. Killian is a strong character and an overall good leader. He puts the needs of the Clan before his desires for Cassidy, which I like. He’s attracted to Cassidy but he doesn’t let that rule his actions.
I’m glad to say that this book is professionally edited and that I found few to no errors throughout. I like this story overall, and it was a page turner, but I just felt it was a bit bland in spots. We as the readers will see that there is something special about Cassidy, but I’m disappointed that there is no realization of this with the characters in the story. I was hoping that there would be an older character who would recognize something special about Cassidy and point it out to the others, but that is never the case. There also some odd situations that occur that also don’t make sense. I’m hoping that they will be explained in the next book.
All in all, I am rating this book 4 out of 5 stars. It’s a good story, but there are spots of where I really feel that it has a lot of potentials to be more, but the author holds back. The story is engaging but I want more exciting moments that will truly draw the reader in and leave them wanting more. The story doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, so for those who hate cliffhangers, there is no need to worry. For those who like demon hunter novels, this is a good book to read.

I enjoyed this introduction to a new world and found that the protagonist's grief was realistic and brought me quickly around to rooting for her. The world was enjoyable and the command structure believable. However, I did wonder why historical laws which characters disagree with haven't been overthrown. I also wonder why they allowed the tunnels to be populated by dangerous creatures when it's their only direct route to the demon world. Surely they would have been more effective fighting there than in the human world, despite their low numbers? I also felt the romance was a little forced, but hope this develops more strongly in the second book. I'd love to see the demon hunters repopulate and push back against the threat they're facing.

This is a new idea for the supernatural good vs evil. It is cleverly written so you get to know the characters in depth and then the twists start to happen. A good read for ya and adults alike. Will be looking into book 2 now.
