Review: Worthwhile Demon Tale
Rating: 3 out of 5

This story seemed very well-executed to me, with a strong pace and a sense of moral ambiguity that left me demoralized by the lack of anybody to root for. I only wish the author had spent more time exploring the details of Kylie's mind transforming between the time of her capture and that of her release, especially with a nested demon influencing things. I think the psychological side of a demon eating the soul of a host who is simultaneously undergoing years of torture without being aware of the demon's existence would have been a chilling read. Still, the idea that such an entity would choose to conceal itself and wait for revenge, capitalizing on the spiritual damage done to its host in captivity rather than the standard Hollywood exorcism, was an interesting twist. I hope the author decides to expand on this topic in the future.
