The Demon's Apprentice — Ben Reeder

When 15 year old Chance Fortunato suddenly finds himself living with his long lost mother and new found little sister Deirdre, it's like living in a dream. Chance doesn't get to enjoy his idyllic suburban life for long, though, before the mystical underworld he's just escaped comes calling. As much as he wishes he could ignore it, Chance knows in his heart that he is the only one who can track down the murderer of his new friend and mentor, Sydney Chomsky. Suspected by the police and hunted by the Wizard's Conclave, Chance discovers dark secrets in every corner of his new life. To bring his mentor's killer to justice, Chance will have to fight evil on its own terms, and discover if that makes him a hero...or a monster.
