"Combine demonic activity and hormone-laden teenagers for a romping good time!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Speed Demon

Paranormal - Supernatural | Young Adult

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.

SUMMARY

Kenzie’s on the fast track— to trouble.

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!
