Review: Oh no he  didn't!
Rating: 2 out of 5

[book sample] Aura pivoted on his feet and patted her on the back as Shiva breezed by unharmed. "Ladies are not for hitting" he said.  “They are for hitting on." Oh no he didn't! Ash thought, suppressing a grin and enjoying the spectacle."Whatever" Shiva replied, lunging back at him again.Ok maybe I am a bit too cynical and somewhat out of touch with the [assumed] target audience. At first I could not help but feel that this was intended as a parody and the author would reveal this by having one of his (one-dimensional cardboard stereotypical) characters speak directly to the reader. However that never happened and the book just continues along the same lines.In fact even the ending:He hadn't managed to escape from Hell, but at least he made some friends. For the time being, he'd just have to make due with being a devil. Aura cocked his head at Ash. "So Ash do you feel like a real devil now?" he asked. Ash smiled "Hell Yes!" he replied.Seems to suggest that the author has as many limitations as any of the disappointing characters in the book. I can hope that with time, practice and guidance he develops his skills to at least become competent. Sorry a rating of two (2) out of five (5) is the best I can give.There are many better offerings available I would suggest Joe The Vampire by Steven Luna for a more satisfying tale about a young male suddenly thrust into dealing with a new reality in the face of his identity and old way of existence being destroyed.
