Title: The Halcyon Bird
Author: Kat Beyer
Narrator: Emily Durante
Format: Unabridged
Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-12-14
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective
Publisher's Summary:
For fans of Lauren Kate and Cassandra Clare, a romance with a paranormal streak.
Mia has settled into her life with the Della Torres - Milan's premier demon-catching family, accompanying them to exorcisms and even learning some way to be useful in the family trade. Then Bernardo comes into her life, handsome, well-mannered, someone who makes her forget her impossible crush on Emilio, her cousin. But always lurking in the background is the demon who possessed Mia once before, and who has not given up on possessing her again - this time for good.
Critic Reviews:
"Mia has a strong gift for the family trade, which, like the novel's other elements... are portrayed in exquisite, affectionate detail. This one goes to the head of the class." (Kirkus)
"Sets the stage for a thrilling sequel. By the book's close, Mia is armed and ready - she whispers to the demon lurking beyond, 'You'll have to wait. But I'm coming. Believe me, I'm coming.' Readers will be ready, too." (Booklist)
"A supernatural novel with a fresh promise, worthy of note." (School Library Journal)

Tremendously elegant prose. The author conveys the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of contemporary Milan as a subtle tapestry serving to anchor the many characters, most but not all of them living, that constitute the Della Torre family of exorcists. Particularly impressive is how well Beyer captures each distinct voice - particularly that of the endearing protagonist, a young woman simultaneously wiser and more innocent than her sixteen years can explain. The book is excellent for teens and adults, and boys in particular should be encouraged to read it - as they will find not just a character they'd be lucky to meet, but will learn through her experience the kind of young men they should aspire to be.
wonderful novel
The second in the series, this book is as good as the first. The fact that I am not especially partial to the supernatural reminds me again that the genre is unimportant - it is the quality of the work that matters, whatever the subject. The sincerity and warmth of the author shines through every page, so that the world that she has conjured up has become one of my favorite places in fiction, one I am looking forward to revisit as soon as the third volume comes out. Highly recommended for lovers of well-told stories.

Well researched and brilliantly presented. The characters continue to intrigue as we learn more about them and the main character grows while remaining entirely familiar and true to herself. I feel like I know this family and just wish I knew why they haven't yet invited me for dinner.
Great read for YA and adults!
I LOVE this series! The author, Kat Beyer, takes us into another world of demon catchers in Milan! Magical and very true to life emotions of a teenage girl.
Ingenious story
At the end of The Demon Catchers of Milan, Mia had decided to enter the family business of demon-catching. While she does miss her home, she is settling well into life in Milan and since she has her talisman, she no longer needs to be on house arrest or accompanied by a member of her family. She is now actively hunting down her demon, while also being intrigued by the fact that the demon bothered to cross an ocean to possess her.
