 Quick Review of DEMONIC (Based on sample)

When we first meet Corey, the protagonist, he’s already planning to kill Quinn’s husband, a coworker with whom he has fallen in love with. 

The story moves quickly to establish how Corey, whose life was presumably normal, finds himself entertaining criminal thoughts once he learns that Quinn’s husband Vic hits her. 

On top of everything, the place where they live has a serial killer, dubbed the Toledo Trasher, since the victims are always dumped by the killer. 

The descriptions of the victims are vivid enough to make you want to gag. 

The author doesn’t waste time in getting to the point and soon enough, our hero is at the doorstep at Quinn’s house, getting ready to kill Vic who he also believes to be the notorious serial killer. 

But things obviously don’t go according to plan and when he arrives and meets with Vic, things spiral out of control, but in a fun way. 

Jeff Strand is clearly a skilled author who manages to seamlessly incorporate humor in situations which would have you sit at the edge of the seat. 

DEMONIC promises to be a fun read and going by the reviews, has enough thrills going on to keep you hooked to the very end. 

DEMONIC Plot (Taken from Amazon.com)

From the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of PRESSURE and AUTUMN BLEEDS INTO WINTER, comes a new novel of unrelenting terror.

Corey is falling in love with his co-worker Quinn. This is a problem. Not only because Quinn is married, but because her husband is a serial killer known as the Toledo Trasher, who has been forcing her to participate in his savage crimes.

With nothing but Quinn’s best interests in mind, Corey shows up at their home with a gun in his pocket and a knife in his hand.

Unfortunately, there are some very dark forces at work, and Corey makes Quinn’s situation worse than he could have ever imagined. And now things are about to get really, really bloody...

With his trademark frenetic pacing and pitch-black humor, DEMONIC is Jeff Strand at his devilish best.

DEMONIC is available on Kindle, Paperback and Audiobook formats.
