Genre: Paranormal Fantasy
Getting possessed by a demon wasn’t on my to-do list. I was just too busy for that sort of thing.
I had a fifty-hour work week, a hellraiser of a toddler, debilitating morning sickness and a husband who thought his only job was taking out the trash. I was at breaking point.
I don’t remember being possessed, or attacking Terry, or my local priest pulling the demon out of me and trapping her in a banana (with the help of a stranger, a badass girl who apparently wrangled supernatural creatures for a living.)
But the aftermath was wild. Terry promised he’d try harder, and give me more support.
He lied. And I broke.
So… I ate the banana. I absorbed the vengeance demon.
She’s a part of me now, sharing my body; we’re like two people in a car. Most of the time, I’m driving. Sometimes, I let her take the wheel.
She’s the rage of wronged women; the vengeance of the vulnerable, wild justice for the oppressed. She can hear bad thoughts, she can sense evil intentions. She can tell when someone wants to abuse their power, and she whispers their secrets to me.
She also eats the internal organs of evil people… which is a little awkward, since I’m a vegetarian.
Her methods might be a little blunt. And bloodthirsty. But she’s definitely got my back, and I need her help right now.
My best friend is being blackmailed. Someone’s gotten hold of Chloe’s nudes, and is threatening to send them to her whole contact list. Together, me and my vengeance demon need to find who did this, and help bring him to justice.
Hopefully, my kind of justice. The kind involving the police and a courtroom. Not the kind where I’m picking gristle and sinew out of my teeth for a week.
But you never know…
Helen’s Thoughts: 5/5
A brilliant offshoot to the Imogen Gray series. Here we meet Sandy, a young woman who has been repressed by her religious mother and abused by her selfish husband to the point that she collapses, has a miscarriage, and in a moment of fury, eats the banana containing a vengeance demon. Don’t worry, the prelude explains how the demon got in the banana!
I smiled and chuckled my way through this book, even though a vengeful demon is eating all the bad people, this is so well written that you see the funny side and can’t help chuckling.
No longer repressed, Sandy becomes the bad ass woman she’s always supposed to be, and with her friends by her side starts to live her life again, even if her eyes are newly opened to the supernatural world around her.
The demon is wonderfully feminist, out to get justice for all abused women, and the sexy detective, Sinclair, just leaps off the page. So many opportunites for mayhem and mishap.
Great start to the series. This is a quick and easy read, I can’t wait to read more.
