Pop stardom, public scrutiny, and a hidden family legacy

Mallori Martin’s glittering pop-star image sits uneasily beside her wish for independence and a fraught relationship with her mother. When her mother disappears and a police search reveals bodies in their home, speculation about the family spreads through Mallori’s vast online audience. The discovery that her mother was a demon slayer shifts the story into supernatural action: Mallori takes up that role and faces demons and boogeymen while trying to find her. The graphic novel brings celebrity culture and social-media exposure into a fantasy about family conflict, identity, and confronting a parent’s concealed life.

  • Teens and young adults interested in graphic novels with supernatural action.
  • Readers curious about stories combining pop-star life and social-media scrutiny with demon-slaying.

Book overview

KPop Demon Hunters meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this sparkling, darkly funny young adult graphic novel following a teen pop star who must take up her missing mother's demon-slaying mantle and battle her way through the monster-infested world of social media influencers.

To her fans, Mallori (heart over the i, thank you very much) is the ultimate teen pop star: platinum albums, a massive online following, and a glittery pink lifestyle to die for. But in her own life, Mallori Martin just wants to be her own person, free from the pressures of stardom--not to mention her mom-ager's controlling hand.

After a particularly vicious fight with said mom, Mallori wakes to find her gone, with no clue where or why. In desperation, Mallori calls the police--whose search uncovers not her missing mother but several bodies buried in the basement of their Hollywood Hills mansion.

The bodies don't stay secret for long, not with Mallori's legions of fans watching her every move. With rumors flying about Mrs. Martin's secret serial-killer lifestyle, Mallori flees the public eye, only to discover her mom was indeed living a double life: as a demon slayer.

She's been abducted, and Mallori can't let that fight be their last conversation. So to get her back, Mallori will have to pick up where her mom left off, hacking her way through demons and boogeymen--with all her trademark sparkle.
