A Vendrix is born. These are mortals that know all spells and enchantments, without having picked up a spell book all their lives. Normally, such power would be drool-worthy, but in this case, it means to be possessed by a demon that’s just using a body as a conduit.

For the townspeople, this means a beloved family member will now crave carnage and kill siblings and strangers alike.
For the person possessed, they barely last a day before sharpened pitchforks are used against them.

But a drunken minstrel’s foreseen a Vendrix that can actually control the demon. Such a weapon seems to be the only thing that can annihilate the sorcerer that’s been wreaking havoc everywhere.

Zendra’s denying that she’s the Vendrix, despite the fact that she just massacred a horde of wizards with no more exertion of energy than a yawn. Regardless of her denial, she’s enlisted by three men wanting to attempt the deadly path to the sorcerer, for fame, adventure, or vengeance.

Now, Valen, an arrogant yet charming wizard prodigy, Brevle, a wise-cracking warrior, Wulard, owns a map (sorry, that’s all he contributes), and Zendra, still unsure if she’s more of a threat to them than the obstacles, must band together, quiet their pessimism, and will their legs to forge through the Path of Fatality.

Will Zendra be able to control the demon within her?

To Enter the Path by Stephanie Flores is a very engaging book from the beginning to the very end of it. Trust me every time I put it down I wanted to know more about the characters and what would happen in the situation I left them in.

Ms. Flores did an excellent job of creating a phenomenally spectacular world and an interesting main female character. All the characters seem so realistic as well.

What I like:

• That we got some glimpses into Zendra’s life before we find out that she is a Vendrix. I thought that was cool and it helped develop the character for that plot to work.
• The idea behind the Vendrixes is so cool. Well okay even though you have a demon living in your body waiting to wreak havoc on everything and everyone you love. But it’s still a cool idea and something not seen in the world of young adult fantasy.
• I love the banter between Zendra and the whole group. It helps get through some of the horrific scenes.
• Then there is the love triangle, and it isn’t forced and something that needs to happen. It’s a pretty standard thing to be happening during all of this fighting that the characters are going through together.
• And the last thing that I like is the villain. He’s a great character and someone that you want to die but also care for as well.

What I dislike:

The only thing that I didn’t like is that Zendra doesn’t believe that she will live long after completing her task.

Five Stars

To Enter the Path by Stephanie Flores is a unique change to the books that we usually find in the young adult fantasy genre. It’s one of the many things that I like about this book. However, I can’t tell you the others as that would spoil it for you.

Ms. Flores is a great author and one that I can’t wait to read more of her books. I am especially looking forward to the last one for this duology. I am giving this book a five-star rating since it’s an excellent book and one that I didn’t want to put down.

The next book in this series is To Wander In Purgatory by Stephanie Flores.

Anyways until next time enjoy this review brought to you by,
