Review: So fresh and unique

Just when I was getting bored with paranormal romance, Mark Henry sweeps in with something so off the wall and hilarious that I can't help but love it. He's built a world where demons move from body to body via organ transplant, and set our heroes up as "exorcisionists" (Think The Exorcist meets Repo Men. Or Repo! the Genetic Opera sans Paris Hilton, if you prefer.) He then populated this world with promising background characters like the perpetually intoxicated Sister Mary-Agnes and the supportive (and slightly off kilter) coworker, Quince.But the meat of this story is Lucid and Wade, and it's their banter that keeps the pages turning. Luce's "...limited capacity for appropriate social engagement" is refreshing and hilarious. I want to have drinks with her. I love the way she surprises and amuses and sometimes flat out shocks Wade almost as much as I love that his reaction is to immediately fall ass over tea kettle in love with her. They are perfect together and the reader is left feeling that their happily ever after didn't involve one of them totally losing themselves to the other.The editing was a bit rough in places, and I wasn't in love with the ending, but neither of those detracted from the overall charm of this book. I definitely want more from this line.
