Confessions of a Demon


Title: Confessions of a Demon
Author(s): S.L. Wright
Genre: Urban Fantasy, Romance
Publisher: Roc
December 2009



After accidentally stealing the life force of a dying demon, Allay became the only human-demon hybrid in existence. Demons feed on human emotions, so Allay decided the safest way to satisfy this need - and still retain some semblance of her humanity - was to open a bar. Here she can drink from, and ease, her patrons' pain, which has helped her to stay under the demon radar. Until now.

When Allay is attacked and nearly killed by another demon, a human comes to her rescue. Theo Ram is tall, handsome, and mortal - and Allay feels a connection to him she didn't think she'd ever know. But that bond is tested when the demon community in New York begins to rise up, and two opposing clans fight for power. Now Allay is caught in the middle, and she must decide where her loyalties lie.


My Personal Review:
Este libro me sorprendió positivamente. Cuando leí la reseña de la contratapa- transcripta en el texto de arriba- me pareció interesante. Sin embargo, muchas veces nos encontramos con libros que prometen pero no cumplen. Afortunadamente, en este caso, realmente superó mis expectativas.

Bien narrada, con un trasfondo sobrenatural bien construido, una trama atrapante y una pizca de romance para condimentar la historia.  En resumen,  S.L. Wright encontró la receta perfecta para esta nueva serie de Urban Fantasy.

Ya está en camino el segundo libro Demon Revelation. La fecha estimada es a fin de año.


Puntaje: 5/5
