    About this ebook

    She's finally managed to summon her first demon...

    Dora Carridine is trying to summon a demon, but she's not very good at Latin and nothing ever works out the way she plans.

    Her life is fraught with weekly exorcisms and having to watch her father’s fire and brimstone TV show every Sunday. So when Dora finally succeeds in summoning an incompetent demon lord, she’s absolutely delighted when all Hell breaks loose.

    She thought summoning a sexy demon lord would be the answer to all of her problems, but her problems are only just beginning when her zealot parents try to burn her at the stake, and Dora is left with only one option—to escape and follow her demon straight into Hell.

      ARC given by the publisher thru NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

      Eeek. It was okay. Hmm... I'm being generous with 2 star. More like 1.5 stars and I just rounded it up. I don't know why the reviews I saw and the ratings are all 4 to 5 stars. :O

      I am disappointed to say the least. I was expecting something more. And what's up with the use of poo, crap, shit, manure and whatnot as a means of saving or retaliating with other people or I should say demons. WTF. It's just so wrong. Every time there's something going on, you bet your arse there'll be shit in there. *rolls eyes* Why choose SHIT?! WHY?!?! Can't you use, some other things? Uh, like those birds pecking them instead of shitting on them. Because that is just so fucking GROSS.

      And since I mention the word 'FUCKING'... I do believe this is YA, right? I mean there's no age mentioned... BUT I liked to think it is Young Adult. Okay. So I know Young Adults nowadays, curse all the time. But that does not mean it's okay to use FUCKING in a book. NO. It's not a good promotion for kids/teens. Does that mean it's okay for kids today to say Fucking for every word they say?! Sorry, but it's not appropriate language. They should have Warning on the summary.

      WARNING: Explicit language content or something.

      And from the start I was hoping to know why she do the things she do, I mean you're a daughter of a priest (this is a bit weird for me since to my knowledge, priests doesn't marry and have a kid. :O maybe like a preacher of sorts?), so okay, they push you to do stuffs you don't want to do... But why summon a demon? Why THAT kind of mindset? Cause you're dark emo? I just don't get as to WHY she was inclined to do those. She could do drugs or something but why SUMMON A DEMON? WHY is that? Well, whatever, it's the author's privilege to do whatever she wants with the story. I just wished it was fully explained.

      Kieron... Is something I wished to be a badass. But nooooo... he's a bit wimpy of sorts. I mean, grow a backbone! You cannot let Dora or anyone else dictate what you need to do. Even Dora got that right. And they don't have chemistry. Dora and Kieron that is. Well, okay maybe a bit. But not that much as I would have like.

      I think the only character I like or rather likable is... Pooey. LMAO. :P He got ninja skills. LOL. I round it up to two stars cause there are some parts that I laugh or smirk. That's it.

      I really enjoyed this book!!! I absolutely love when an author can make me laugh out loud while reading. I loved the author's writing style, and wouldn't want her to change a thing. The story and the characters were all great in my opinion. I feel like this book was meant to offend and shock the reader, mission accomplished!! Very entertaining and funny. I definitely recommend this book and hope to read more by this author in the future.

      this is my favoriteee of all claire chilton's book . the series of demon diaries
    • 2/5
      I received a free copy of this book to review

      Demonic Dora is a farcical, black comedy about teenage Dora who hates her life and decides summoning a demon will solve all her problems. It doesn’t. What it does is lead to her almost being burned at the stake by her fanatical religious parents. Luckily, the demon she summoned saves her – by dragging her to Hell with him. Dora loves Hell and thrives there, until she realizes all isn’t as it seems and then things go straight to, well, Hell.

      To me the humor of this book is its main focus, the plot and characters seemingly built around it, so if you’re not into poo jokes and slapstick gags, this book isn’t for you. While the comedy in this book didn’t exactly match up with my sense of humor, I described some of the scenes to a sophomore in high school and she howled with laughter, so the fact that it wasn't right for me doesn't mean it's not right for others.

      I don’t think I’ll read any other books in this series, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to people I know who would enjoy this brand of comedy (and let’s face it, we all know some that do)
