Book Review: Devil on Her Shoulder by Cédric Mayen & Sandra Cardona

Devil on Her Shoulder by Cédric Mayen & Sandra Cardona is a graphic novel. The Bruja is missing! When the most powerful witch alive disappears without a trace, Norah, her 17-year-old niece, decides to investigate. But upon entering her aunt’s manor, she interrupts a summoning ritual and finds herself face to face with the devil… Or half of him, anyway, as he has been cut in two and is now stuck in a pentagram. Unable to return to Hell without Norah’s help, Lucifer agrees to assist her in finding the Bruja—a devilish task when you’re the most feared and hated being on the planet!

Devil on Her Shoulder is a graphic novel that I greatly enjoyed, and think would be suitable for a wide range of readers. I liked the set up and the execution of the story. While there were some aspects that I predicted, that only made the ride and reveal more interesting as I brought along for the ride. I enjoyed the personalities that were engrained in each of the major characters- and how well they traits of each character were portrayed in their facial expressions on the page. I greatly enjoyed the read and think readers from middle school on up will be able to enjoy and connect with aspects of the story. I will be looking for what else this creative team has worked on, and hopefully more of these characters in the future. 

Devil on Her Shoulder is an engaging story with artwork to match.
