Pretty decent book. Third person POV. Bad demon becomes good demon. Good person unknowingly becomes black witch via sex. Yeah, that's different. LOL.
Protagonist is very relatable, quirky and funny. I like her.
Love the part about a Goonies poster!
Author didn't say how to get rid of the demon since the one person who could is now dead. Hm. . .
The ending was a nice surprise. Her father is a what? ;o)
I like this one. Curious to read the next.

The Demon in Me has a very original plot, but I find the characters were not very complex or deep. Basic scheme of the story: Eden Riley is a [sceptic] psychic who is convinced to help find a killer in a police investigation. She has an urge to open one of the doors in the serial killer's house, to find him waiting with a knife, and the killer admits to having a demon inside of him. Ben, the cop, shoots the killer, and a black cloud, which only Eden can see, rises from the dead man. Eden soon fi

After falling in love with the author's other books, I was excited to start another series by her. Michelle Rowen always has the ability to create a new world with witty humor, fun characters and all at a great pace to keep me interested from beginning to end. With this series, we meet Eden Riley. Eden has a small touch of psychic in her that she has been using to help the police in unsolved cases. In her first case with the police, she failed them. Now as she tries again with the next case

This was a fun and easy read, with a good sense of romantic tension running through it. Eden has always been slightly psychic, little flashes of mostly useless information that is only normally good for finding lost keys or dogs. Finding a dog earns her a recommendation to assist the police force in finding a serial killer – and leads her straight to where he’s hiding. At this point, the demon currently using the killer’s body for a host, leaps to Eden’s body instead. His name is Darrak and for

My feelings toward this book are all mixed up. While reading it I just couldn't put it down, I had this itch to keep reading and reading but once I finish it I never felt like it was the best book ever or anything similar. It was a great read though, original and catching, I really liked it. I think it has a lot of potential to become an amazing series but it has also the potential to become one very, very lame. One can only hope next book is better and not one which will ruin everything.

fun.sexy.engaging. Those are just a few words I could use to descibe The Demon In Me. This is the first book in the Living In Eden series by Ms Rowen. Eden Riley becomes posessed by a demon who just happens to need her help in breaking a curse that keeps him in need of a human "host" body. Darrak is said demon and when in his "human' form is quite a looker which is making it very hard for Eden to have him exorcised from her so she can get on with her life. Darrak has told her he i

LOVED this book. A 4.5 Stars. This is a new author find for me. I've since downloaded several of her books. Have loved every one of them. The Demon in Me is hot, sexy, incredibly witty and funny. Eden is a psychic working as a consultant for the police. As a result of the murder of his host, Darrack is a demon forced to possess Eden by night but has control over his body by day...just as long as he stays within 90 feet of Eden. Darrack is hilarious and he and Eden are a fabulous couple. Eden is

Eden Riley is a skeptical psychic. After helping the Chief of Police's wife find her missing dog she was pressured into taking a job as a psychic consultant for the police. No one is more miserable about this arrangement than Eden. She freely admits that she doesn't believe she's psychic. She gets hunches that pan out, but she can't make herself have psychic visions. That means she's not psychic, right? Unfortunately for Eden, on her first consultant job she gets a hunch about where a serial kil

Eden Riley is a little bit psychic, and is currently working as a consultant for the police. When she meets with a police detective to assist in finding a serial killer, she doesn't really think she'll be able to help. She certainly doesn't think that when the detective guns down the killer the demon that was possessing him will be forced to enter her body.

This is really a case of don't judge a book by its cover. I saw this on the new book shelf and skipped right over it. Saw the sequel (with the same cover practically) and just thought - it looks a bit cheesy. But something made me pick it up and look at the synopsis. Which led to finding the first of the series and testing the waters by reading the first few pages. I was sold.

Eden Riley is a "psychic consultant" to the police even though she really doesn't believe in her powers. When hunky police detective Ben Johnson guns down a serial killer in front of her, Eden's unreliable psychic powers give her a gift. And that gift is Darrak.

Actually, I finished this awhile ago, but I don't remember when. Lots of good stuff I do remember though! This was a fairly quick read. Towards the end there were some unexpected twists. It was left wide open for a sequel...and I'm not sure how she's going to pull it off, because she gave herself a time limit.

I give this one 2.5 stars. While there were some aspects I enjoyed, I also occasionally thought to myself "I've seen this in another book". The concept in this book involves a demon living in a host (cough cough Jenna Black's series) and the demon is trying to get his ability to live outside a host back after he was cursed by a witch. His new host is a woman named Eden and she's a psychic. Because of her unique energy, the demon is able to take human form but only when he is in close p

All in all I enjoyed this one. Again, it wasn't the deepest novel ever written (Um, yes, there might be a recurring theme in my reading material of late... What of it?? :-), it obviously wasn't meant to be and it was thoroughly enjoyable.
I liked the main characters. I enjoyed the plot and the side characters were also fun. There was some fun humor sprinkled in as well. I'm also looking forward to the next novel (this first novel does end on a bit of a cliffhanger).

While I kind of like this book (it's LOL stuff :D), I'm actually also quite annoyed that it's trying to pass itself off as a Paranormal Romance, because I went into it expecting romance and a Happily Ever After ... and got more of an Urban Fantasy-ish Chick Lit.
