    A touching tale of redemption and acceptance

    Being a guardian melts the rigid and adventurous heart of.a brave and stoic young man; himself barely into manhood. Warm, vulnerable and piercing grey eyes and a genuine winsome smile makes Dale adopt a shunned demon girl. He soon realises fate had brought him a gentle, loving and obedient child on the brink of starvation. And connect they do; becoming her protector and the prime object of her affection; as she instinctively is drawn to his kindness and care. A wholesome delight to see her grow out of her self-castigation and bloom to be the sweetest and most cherubic little girl, far more mature than her 8 years old. Yet despite her intelligence, industry and unintended popularity; she remains an earnest and sincere friend to all, granted the rare ability to see the good in others!

    I doubt if anyone can see this series and come away stoic and unmoved.

    Celebrate the beauty of a quite and humble spirit as is Latina!

    A great little story......

    The story is very well written, however it is a slow boiler, taking time to flesh out the characters. It sets out the lands which the story takes place very well.

    I find myself enjoying this as I would a good book,a good read slowly building on itself. Give this story time, and I think you too will enjoy it.

    Keep the Father/Daughter Relationship Solid

    (12+) Ugh. Could have, should have, been a "9" or "10" in my opinion but the story got in its own way a couple of times. First, I think the male hero got a little too gushy over his adopted daughter, and the devil daughter he saves starts developing feeling for him (I think) that kind of put an adult spin on something that didn't need it. Also, some of the supporting characters seemed to acknowledge that the father/daughter relationship would morph into something else later when she was older... I didn't care for that, particularly with the name of the series having "daughter" right in it! I could be totally wrong, though, and reading too much into a few of the scenes, so I am still rating this an "8" and I think it is a good series worth the watch.

    I'm conflicted

    As much as I enjoyed the series the overwhelming pedo situation made me feel slightly uneasy. People keep bringing up the father/daughter relationship and I get that but the truth is they aren't family and he's def WAAAY to obsessed with her. I felt kinda dirty watching it.

    Look forward to another season

    Absolutely loved it and I hope they continue the series I'd love to see a second season.
