Another day, another paranormal read (because why the hell not?). Here's Shannon Mae's "A Beginner's Guide to Demonic Possessions." It's a part of her Demonic Disasters and Afterlife Adventures series.
["The dreaded Valentine's Day is coming next week, and Trent can’t stomach the thought of another holiday alone. Hiding in the restaurant bathroom from his terrible date, he wishes for a way to skip V-Day all together. Alien abduction? Demonic possession? Coma? Anything else sounds good right about now. When he looks in the bathroom mirror, Trent suddenly realizes he isn’t in charge anymore. Demonic possession it is then.
Paz certainly didn’t expect such a welcome (apparently most hosts spend all their time screaming internally), and he also has quite a bit to say about Trent’s life (who lives in an apartment for six years and doesn’t decorate it?). Trent had no idea his demonic possession was going to look more like a home improvement show than a spring break gone wild special, but Paz manages to break Trent out of his comfort zone and show him what he’s been missing in life (and it isn’t just random hook ups)."]
And the bonus tags (because they're arguable better than the blurb itself): ["Trent is not a morning person; Paz is way too bright and cheery for a demon; sharing a body is a surefire way to get rid of loneliness; who knew shopping for flatware (whatever that is) could be fun; Paz takes Trent toy shopping (yes, those kinds of toys); demonic friends keep popping up (and sometimes even helping); maybe Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be a horrific holiday filled with loneliness and despair; Trent and Paz might just be a match made in heaven… or hell."]
I will forever be amazed at how soft and sweet and kind and caring demons are in this world. They are practically perfect, from their horns to their tails. They want so much goodness (and chaos--but good chaos) for humanity. And when they stumble into love themselves? They're flabbergasted and unsure they deserve it. Silly demons.
Trent deserved this possession. Not because he was a bad guy, but because he needed the positive change in his life that Paz was able to bring. I mean, I don't like shopping for mundane otems or trying new, scary things either, but Paz was with him right away.
There wasn't too much progress on finding out who the bad angel is (or the good one), nor was there any pop-ups from Luce or Yah. :(
