Reem Fayek reemfayek — Oh my. I don't know what to say except that this book is very poorly written. There is no character development and certainly no tension in the writing. I felt the whole time I was reading it, that I was reading a screen play. There is the bare bones of a story there, but it felt episodic at best and just plain uninteresting at worst. I wanted to be enveloped in Mr. Wilson's world, but instead I felt as though I were merely shown postcards of it. Too bad.

Jacqueline Simington jacqsimington — Demon Possessed marks the end of the Megan Chase trilogy as Ms. Kane said there won't be any further books for the foreseeable future. She is focused on the Downside Ghost series which will release a new book later this year. Megan is a trained psychologist as well as a host of a radio show she didn’t want to do in the first place. She also found out that she’s got a little demon inside of her which gave her the ability to kill two nasty demons. This came from her own father selling her to a demon which left residual traces in her body after she kicked him out. She’s part Psyche Demon which means she has mental powers, not physical. She also managed to grab hold of a group of personal demons, for which she seems to be the only one who doesn’t have one since killing hers at age 16, and making them her own. Megan is such a frustrating character to follow at times. For someone who is supposed to have a PHD in Psychology and smart, she acts like a clueless child. She grinds away at the readers patience with her inability to make choices and her whining and crying over everything and anything that she doesn’t agree with. Megan’s character goes against the very thing we’ve been fighting for since the early 20th century; equality without giving up our dignity, our freedoms, and without being constrained by a silly man for our welfare. It’s always the women who have to give up their jobs and livelihood for the male of the species, and in this case, her humanity in order to stay in a relationship with Greyson who otherwise would have only thought of her as a mistress. I do, however, agree with her on one point. I agree that she shouldn’t have been hit over the head constantly about going thru with the Haiken Kra Ritual in order to make her a full a demon. I know others will respectfully disagree with me since she is the leader of a group of personal demons and can’t protect them as well as a full demon could. That’s all fine and dandy. But, she should have been given the chance to release her hold on said demons if that is what she wanted. I also believe strongly that Greyson’s inability to tell her the truth from the onset of their relationship, how he felt about her remaining human, should have come out much sooner. He should have told her that if she wasn’t interested in being a demon wife, then he would have to look someplace else. In hiding things from her for 11 months, and then demanding that she be the one to give up everything in order to marry him and have little demon children in order to keep HIM in power and her safe from harm, made him an unfortunate and stereotypical male. However, this is a moot point since in the end, she does exactly what everyone tells her she should have done months ago; fully embrace her inner demon while battling a horde of humans, demons, and an angel who wanted to kill her, and then agreeing to marry Greyson and have his little minions. I know this is a paranormal story and the characters are expected to be flexible in their ability to change, but I ask you seriously, why is it necessary to the bottom line of the story? In cases like Cat, the underlying pull of being a vampire was already there. She knew where she came from, and the inevitability of changing completely was always there in the background. In the Kitty Norville series she was bitten prior to the first story so we never knew her as anything else but a werewolf. Why can’t we as authors/writers keep our heroines fully human without compromising the story and our readers imaginations? Sookie Stackhouse has remained the same over the course of her series, and according to many articles I’ve recently read, she’s going to remain the same until the end. Why then do we change people into demons, vampires, werewolves, and Fae? Is it just to sell a story, or is that the way people in the PNR and UF genres want things to be? Final words: Throughout this book it was like watching a tennis match between two people who have no clue how to be in a relationship or understand what the other needs. The constant fights, and crying and screaming got to me, but I figured this was the last book in the series so no point in quitting now. Would Megan have been better off with Nick instead? The most likable characters, in my opinion, were Nick Xao-teng (incubus), Asterope (Tera) Green (witch), and the three demon body guards Mallus, Maleficarum, and Spud. Under-utilized: Brian Stone the investigative reporter and friend who at the end of the story realizes that Megan changed, something he was against. But, since we don’t have another story to follow up with, we don’t know what will happen to their friendship. As for the series itself, I give it an overall rating of 3 stars.

James Marshall _arshall5ec4 — I love a good action-spy-terrorist-FBI-Secret-Service-double-crossing-political-thriller. There are four authors in this genre that I turn to again and again, and they never disappoint. Sorry that I can't add Brad Thor to the list. Not that it didn't start out with a brilliant, and I mean BRILLIANT crime. The kidnapping of the president was really well done. Loved it. But then, The Lions of Lucerne turned into a Nancy Drew mystery: The Case of the Missing President (plus lots of strong language and violence). The clues were so obvious as to make the terrorist kidnappers look like a bunch of rank amateurs. Each bit of evidence was so over-explained, I felt I was being talked down to. We follow Secret Service Agent Scot Harvath as he is battered, beaten, shot at, stabbed, nearly drowned, etc. He has a couple of friends who provide key clues, and one introduces him to the only other person on the planet who could figure this out, who just happens to be a beautiful woman. And, just like in Nancy Drew, during the interview of the bad guy, an odd turn of phrase turns into the key clue that helps them solve the case! Wow! Also annoying, the reader is constantly reminded (through "tell" as much as "show") of how smart, tough, strong, well-trained, quick-thinking and handsome the hero is. I have another Brad Thor book on my "to read" shelf, loaned to me by my dad, who told me this one was the better of the two. Hmm. Hard to get excited about that one...
