Review: Demon at my Door – Michelle A Valentine

Gothic outcast Natalie Sugarman bartered her soul for her dying mother’s life sixteen years ago to a boy demon that could stop time. Now, days before her twenty-first birthday, the lifelines on her palms are slowly vanishing, and she knows it’s just a matter of time before Satan’s little helper collects.

Natalie’s tried numerous times to kill the demon and regain control of her soul’s destiny, but she always falls short. When she decides to try and gain the element of surprise for her next attempt, Natalie seeks answers about his location from a freaky, glowing-eyed fortuneteller. Creeped out by the psychic’s methods, she bolts from the reading and misses the warning that the demon who stole her soul is always closer than she thinks.

After some strange incidents with her new boyfriend, including a hot, levitating sex session, she realizes he’s the grown-up version of her little nightmare and he’s returned to collect on their deal. Natalie must figure out how to win her soul back from the demon before her lifeline completely disappears and she becomes his forever—even if that means making a deal to damn three other souls to take her place.

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

I know Michelle Valentine by her fabulous Black Falcon series.  So imagine my surprise when she reached out to bloggers for reviews on her paranormal book.  Let me tell you, Michelle can a demon just as well as she can a rocker.

Natalie Sugarman knows she’s living on borrowed time.  After bartering her soul with a little demon boy to save her mother’s life, she knows with her approaching twenty-first birthday everything is about to change.  What she doesn’t understand are the images the little demon boy keeps sending her each time their paths cross.  What she doesn’t realize is the new guy at school, the one who isn’t turned off by her freakishness and likes her for who she is, is so much more than she could have ever imagined.

I loved the story.  I loved how a five year old girl battered for her mother’s life.  I loved how Rick Steele showed Natalie how she was so much more than the freaky goth girl everyone thought she was and she should be no one’s dirty little secret.  But most of all, I loved the story of how Rick became what he was and what he’s done all in the name of true love.

I’m interested to see what could happen next.  It was left with an ending the begs for a second book (or maybe more).  You can’t leave us wondering what will happen with Natalie and Rick. What Stew finds as he goes off in search of his mother.  And more importantly, what is going to happen with Lilim now that Rick and Natalie are together.  Inquiring minds want to know!  Hopefully Michelle Valentines hears my pleas and gives us some more Demon books.
