Being a teenager with all the angst that state of being
involves and also dealing with demonic activity seems a
little much to ask of any one person. But Kenzie doesn't
seem to have a choice. When she accidentally opens a demon
portal and ends up with Levi Athan, a demon, in her shower,
Kenzie has to start learning about a world she didn't even
know existed.
Most of the time, it's a world she'd rather ignore.
Unfortunately, the opening of another portal, combined with
Levi's constant annoying presence, means she has to focus
and control the demonic activity. She needs to find a way
to send Levi back, even if there's a niggling in her
stomach that says she doesn't want him to go. Then she must
close all the demon portals around her home and spend her
time worrying about boys, school and all the typical
teenage things that keep taking a back seat to demons.
This is a fun, light-hearted approach to demonic activity.
It's a little difficult to take any danger seriously when
you're dealing with hormone-laden teenagers, so this is
definitely a character-driven book. Whatever it is that
appeals to readers these days about romanticizing demons
and demon-slayers, SPEED DEMON is an excellent example of
this genre.
Guys can be annoying, but the demonic kind are the worst…
That is how Kenzie Sutcliffe felt about Levi. He
shot out of Kenzie’s shower, a.k.a. the demon hole, not
too long ago. It was hard for Kenzie to close the portal—
it involved her driving the family’s minivan into the
kitchen. And what thanks does she get for that?
She’s grounded, not allowed to drive, and getting
chauffeured around by a demon whose driver’s license is
dubious at best. Plus, the demon tells her, when one
portal closes—another one opens…
Even though Levi
can be a pain, Kenzie just can’t let the other demons drag
him back to hell. Guess that means it’s up to her to save
the day…again!
