A Good Demon Is Hard to Find
by Kate Moseman
I’ve never read a “paranormal romance”, and in fact, had no idea that I was about to read one when I picked up the cute-sounding A Good Demon Is Hard to Find. With a funny cartoon cover and a funny premise, I wasn’t surprised that the quick read had me laughing all the way through.
The protagonist is a quirky woman with a nosy mother and an insensitive ex-husband who brings his lover (her former best friend) to church right under her nose. In a rage, she curses him – then lo and behold, a demon shows up in her home ready to do her bidding! He’s a very funny demon, with fashion changes at the ready, a joy of cooking, and a terribly mild idea of revenge. You’d think a demon would jump to death, dismemberment, and torture – but this one suggests hiding fish behind the window curtains so they will eventually stink, pulling his pants down in public, and switching up his kitchen condiments.
As you can imagine, this is a very light, fluffy book and quite funny. Personally, I didn’t think the romance between the demon and his summoner was really necessary; they could have just become friends. But since the “romance” is awkward at best, and feels more in place with a middle-grade fan fiction, it’s rather inoffensive.
