Neat concept, dry writing.,

This review is from: Daemon Eyes (Mass Market Paperback)
Yet another book in the exploding Paranormal genre of books.This one takes information off of a variety of sources on demons and spins a tale out of them. The research is actually pretty well done on a lot of stuff, however, here's where it hits a snag. To have an idea of how the demon society works, you need to pay close attention to the little bits of info they give you during the story, as well as the little insights into demon society at the start of each chapter. This however often means that you don't learn something you needed to know until later on in the book, meaning a lot of the information that would have helped you understand what is going on comes often too late. The writing style is also fairly dry and the conversations seem forced and stiff compared to other novels in this genre. 2 stars because the idea is fresh, but the story is almost painful to read.

Entertaining,
By Serene - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Daemon Eyes (Mass Market Paperback)
Depressed and terrified, Evan has horrific dreams which cause him to contemplate suicide. After allowing two close friends to drag him to a satanic bar (you can tell Evan doesn't make the smartest life choices), he soon becomes a captive of the evil barkeep Mac who is secretly a demon in disguise. Ritually tortured, he is eventually freed, and must come face to face with the frightening reality of who his father is and what he must become to survive.I admit, I picked this book up because of the cover. Two hot guys.. You can't go wrong, right? Well, the novel was a bit slow to start. It takes about 30 pages of Evan self-pity (and stupidity) to get to the good parts... The good part in my case, being Evan's Dad, Brad. Reading about Brad (no its not his real name) is perhaps the best part of the book. His evolution as a character makes it all worthwhile. Evan grew on me a bit too...But I found it difficult to like him.. Evan's not a bad kid... But he is a victim and for the first half (the first book), his victimhood and pain and abused nature did not make light reading. Which brings me to the final issue with this novel which kept it from being a five star read. At times the author strays off target and brings in a lot of minor characters at once. There are heavy amounts of dialog and I felt like the story strayed from the tight action-packed urban-fantasy package it had previously been. Any time Claudia and her brother were mentioned for instance... Just didn't seem to fit in the whole storyline that well. The dialog in particular between these characters seemed cheesy and overdone. Also, at times I felt the story lacked grounding. The demons can teleport wherever they want to be, and sometimes the real world and the demon world was difficult to distinguish and because the writer does not employ alot of environmental description, this makes this problem worse. Overall, a good story. Entertaining. 3 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Great Story and well crafted world.,
By M. M. Davis "melgaye" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Daemon Eyes (Mass Market Paperback)
Ok, some of you may have read a number of recent paranormal, but this one is one of my favorites from over 10 years ago. I love how it started with the hint of some great backstory. Classic, paranormal investigation. Great!!11
