Book Blurb:
One suburban night. One stubborn corpse. One golden opportunity.Burklin had it all: a spacious two-story house, a shapeshifting wife, a wide open future. That is, until his father ripped out his soul and trapped it inside an opinionated dachshund. Now he's lost everything, leaving him a slave on mop-up duty for a homicidal teenage demon. His father is sleeping with his ex, the possessed dachshund won't stop talking, and the cleanup jobs keep getting messier. Burklin would give anything to have his life back--even if it means turning against his manipulative father and destroying their chance of winning the Nether's Demon Lord Sweepstakes.
Opportunity knocks with a dead woman's hand. When the demon's latest victim won't stay dead, the rules of life and death change. Freedom lies within Burklin's reach, but to get it he'll have to defy his father, the ex-wife he still loves, and the Nether itself.
Just how far is he willing to go?
Review: Wow is about the only word I can use to describe this book. The plot is a bunch of crazy fun. The characters are a rag tag bunch, with my favorite actually being Pearl the dachshund. I keep thinking what if my dog surfed the internet for doggie porn when I wasn't around!!
OK, then that made me think, "Is there really doggie porn?"
For the most part you have to feel sorry for Burklin. Nothing really seems to go his way, but that's ok, cos the bad stuff is kind of funny.
I think the best way to describe the book might be...a man's paranormal version of Stephanie Plum.
I was really surprised at how much I liked this book in the end. For me the first part of the story seemed to be a bit slow, because there was a lot going on, but in the end everything came together in a good way.
I can't wait to see what Jason will give us next!
