3.0 out of 5 stars I want there to be a third book in this series!, August 9, 2009

This review is from: Speed Demon (Mass Market Paperback)

This was a cute sequel to Demon Envy. I really like Erin Lynn's writing style--it's very funny and quick to read. While I felt bad for, and liked, Kenzie's boyfriend Adam, I really liked the relationship between Kenzie and Levi--it's playful and fun. The plot was slightly predictable--I easily figured out how the new portal opened, but I didn't see how Kenzie was going to close it. The ending left me hanging. I want to know more about the new portal that opened and what's going to happen between Kenzie and Levi, or between Kenzie and Adam. I didn't see any info on another book, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a third one is coming!

This review is from: Speed Demon (Mass Market Paperback)

When we last read about sixteen-year-old Kenzie Sutcliffe she had just closed a demon portal in her shower drain by running the family minivan in the pipes. Unfortunately it created a minivan sized hole in her kitchen wall. Now she's not only grounded but won't be getting her drivers license until she's eighteen.

On day one of the kitchen reconstruction she's so creeped out by the large guy working on the wall she tries to take her breakfast cereal elsewhere in the house but her mom won't let her. She sneaks off with her cereal and a Diet Coke to sit in the minivan. When she accidentally sprays her drink on the radio another demon portal pops open. That's when Levi, the "good demon" who's been staying with her family, points out that there are actually 5 demon portals and Kenzie has to figure out how to close them all permanently, with no help from him.

I definitely recommend reading the first book, Demon Envy, before picking up Speed Demon. A majority of the story references book one and it has the background on why Levi is with the family. I enjoyed Speed Demon much more than I did Demon Envy. Kenzie's character is a little more realistic in this one and the storyline was cute.

I like the way Kenzie's character deals with Levi and the new demon from the portal not to mention her regular teenage drama which includes boyfriend and best friend trouble. The book is also a set up for the next book which I will definitely be reading. I recommend this for teens and anyone else who loves YA books.

It's been a while since I've done a review so here goes. This book was wildly entertaining. I love the honesty of Kenzie's character and how her love dynamic is protrayed. Levi is a fun, cute, wildly mysterious Demon and I can't wait to learn more about his character but really, the book is ode to Kenzie. It was funny, romantic, sweet and at times very endearing. I'm hooked on this series and even though I'm a mom of 28, I'm proud to say these books are not a guilty pleasure. I proudly admit to LOVING them. Great way a few hours and I will for sure be buying the next book out!
