Review: A PREVIEW OF A NEW SERIES

This sample is provided as a preview for the author's upcoming Demon Trapper series.  After reading this promotional piece, I was left wondering if reading the full length series would be worth it.  Although the main character was engaging and the story line different from all the other supernatural ones out there, the details ruined it for this reader.My main gripe is the 60s retro label scribed for the couple that harbored the book demon that the young demon hunter has to capture.  This label irritated me since the free spirited couple espoused free love, peace symbols and sported afros - holy 70s!  There is a huge difference between the 60s and 70s when comparing life styles and further reading highlighted other confusing descriptions that made it hard to become engrossed.  I understood the desire for people to proclaim themselves "retro"  and go back to another decade to escape the horrors of present day (why it was so horrible was never explained) and I was with the author as she explained people choose the 50s and mislabeled 60s but did not understand the desire to go back to the 30s since I have yet to meet someone who idolized the time period that spawned the Great Depression, Soup Lines and WW II.  This would mean that present day was truly horrific and yet the descriptions provided portray a normalcy except for those pesky demons.I did enjoy the portrayal of demons as mischievous imps who ate great literary works, urinated green pee and fell asleep when read long boring works such as Moby Dick.  This section was a pleasure to read and all too brief.  Reading a full length story might prove interesting if I could overlook the inconsistencies of details.  If you are looking for a new take on the popular super natural themed books and don't mind the minor incongruencies, the Demon Trapper series would be a good bet.
