What would you do if a demon asked you to write his memoir? What would you do if his story turned out to be yours? Clay faces those questions. At first he thought it was a hoax, a prank, something...but no. Lucian had come calling, had asked for him, had matter-of-factly told him that he would write his memoir.
In an edgy debut novel, Tosca Lee grapples with the monstrous task of describing the spiritual in terms of the physical and attempts to explain the fall and redemption of man from the standpoint of a demon. The story that results is captivating, and theologically compelling. The toll of such a difficult task shows in the novel, however. Many times, the language is stilted or dialogue contrived to try to reconcile the spiritual nature of the demon with the physical way it is portrayed.
Overall, Demon brings a great theological perspective to an interesting topic. It's unique. It's definitely worth a read.
