A Demon's Story

review 1: I wish half stars were allowed, I would say this was a solid 3 1/2 stars. I reserve 5 stars for the holy crap that was amazing books. 4 stars for the very good, 3 for the I wouldn't be embarrassed to tell people I read it books and then things get muddy... This was a short and fast read, I wasn't sure if I should expect much since it was a kindle .99 cent cheapie, but I was very pleasantly surprised! It was well written(if a little simple at times), fast paced, escapist fodder. It did it's job I was entertained enough I will read the other book in the series too. It basically followed a newborn very moral "demon" who was a human until he was murdered, through the first 30ish years of his life. He mostly just wanted the same things any of us want to find someone to love and... more understand him, being a body hopping demon adds an extra monkey wrench to finding honest intimacy. He really is much more like a ghost that can possess people, than what we'd consider the typical idea of a demon. There is one demon in the book that has a more traditional skill set though. Was it amazing? No. Did I enjoy it? Yes, yes I did.
review 2: Michael Siemsen has a fascinating tale of The Many Lives of Samuel Beaucham (paper from Fantome Publishing in which the death of a young man creates a being who can jump from body to body. We meet Samuel in the body of an ex-biker, Tinker, who moved to New York City and works as a librarian in the late fifties. Then he finds a friend, becomes involved with a crazy, sexy woman, and finds another of his kind who wants to upend his world, bringing Tinker’s past to disturb Samuel’s present. Disturbing, exciting and impossible-to-put-down. Review printed in the Philadelphia Weekly Press less
