This book has a bit of a story built in
before it was written. Let me share it with you, before I tell you my thoughts
of Inner Demons.
I stumbled over an author’s series last
year. Her second book was about to be published, and the blurb intrigued me, so
I wanted to read the first one before diving head first into the second. I’m
still happy I did that, will never regret it. We started talking about this and
that, and soon became good friends. Earlier this year, Ann (the author, and my
friend) was holding a FB party, and I was invited (yay – lucky me!), we had a
great deal of fun, right up until I got a different kind of Ping on my computer.
It was a private message from Ann, asking me for help. She had forgotten
something very, very important, and she had to dash from the computer. If I
could be persuaded to finish the rest of the event?
My initial thought was: o.O Stunned
silence. I was awed, honored and a GREAT deal of scared. (alright, I MIGHT have looked a little like Daffy Duck... maybe...) Never having worked
with blogger before, I had about 30 min before Ann had to run, so I went in,
feet first, hoping for the best.
You can relax. Everyone survived. Including
me, even though I stayed up till 2am, and had worked the entire day at the post
office. :-)
Not giving it a second thought, I continued
on the day after, and when I was closing in on my afternoon, I got a surprise
from Ann. She gave me a link, told me to get my ass over there, fill out
the form and leave the rest to her.
So I did. Wondering what the hell I got
myself into.
Then suddenly, a couple of weeks ago, Ann
messaged me letting me know she was done. Since life has a way of throwing
things in my way, I didn’t get a chance to read it until recently.
I have heard about the Short Books before,
from Ann, but didn’t really know what to expect. So, let me tell you a little
about the book, starting with the blurb:
Ani is on vacation when she hears screams
from the neighbor’s house – and of course she calls the police. When they
arrive, the elderly officer, pretty much claims she’s nuts and leaves. The
younger officer, however, comes back a little later, claiming the screams Ani
can hear is from real, full-blooded Demons. Well, as you can imagine, this
doesn’t exactly makes Ani more secure, and she’s not all that sure she should
follow Ben (the younger officer), but what choice does she have? If what he
says is true, then her live is in danger. But is the fact that demons are real,
the only truth that will be revealed that night? Because some things one can
not change – demon or not.
Inner Demons were made for me (as I
mentioned earlier), and to tell you the truth; Ann nailed it perfectly. I loved
every page in this book. The story held me captive, and (damn her) ended
waaayyy too soon. :-D
I loved the twist Ann did with the story. I
won’t tell you what it is, since it would ruin the story, but it was VERY well
made. Ying and Yang. Opposites really do attract – and that’s ALL I’m saying!
The story flows easily, is exciting to read and MOST enjoyable! And though I
still wanted it to be longer, at least I know I can get a continuation, since
Ann recently launched the option of making your short book into a series. (I
hope my friends and husband gets the BIG hint here!!!)
Just to tell you a small secret; if you didn’t
think had a naughty side to her – think again. This book shows that she can be
very naughty indeed!! ;-)
Here in the end, I want to give Ann a BIG
hug and a huge shout of THANK YOU!!! Ann, thank you for creating this book for
me, it made me smile, and I truly enjoyed reading it! NOVO YOU!!!!
