Possession. Murder. Mayhem.
Let the games begin...

Exorcism isn’t a job, it’s a calling—and a curse. Just ask Morgan Kingsley, a woman who has a stronger aura than any Demon. Or so she thought.

I was excited when I got this book because it seemed right up my alley & also had an interesting twist on demon lore. That wasn't what I got..kinda. First, this book seems not to know if it wants to be Urban Fantasy or Erotica. I don't mind sex scenes, even like sex scenes in my UF but only when done right & tastefully. That was not the case. Our heroine Morgan constantly talks about how hot she is & how much she wants to bone her boyfriend. And does. Within the first 20 pages.

Putting that aside, Morgan is one of the most suckass UF heroines I've come across. She goes half-cocked into EVERY situation & not in a "Hey, I'm about to go on this suicide mission without backup & hopefully save a bunch of lives" way. More of a "Hey, I'm about to do some really stupid crap & potentially kill a lot of good people because I'm pissed & confused". WTF? After doing said stupid things, she feels "guilty". Wow. After one particular scene towards the end where she fucked up big time, I gave up on ever liking our heroine. I like my UF heroines badass & scared of maybe a few things, not one who are scared of their shadow. Morgan, simply put, is a coward. She runs towards situations without a plan & runs away from situations when she knows she's in the wrong or has done something especially dumbass.She lets her emotions control her to the point where she ends up hurting herself & everyone around her. I feel zero sympathy for her. If anything, I feel more sympathy for the people counting on her to save them.

There's one other thing that really bothered me about this novel. There is a gay couple in this book who are heavily into BDSM. Morgan constantly bitched & moaned about how gross she thought their sexuality & sexual proclivities were. She even went so far as to tell one of the characters he was "wrong for liking pain" & that he "should seriously get help". Maybe Black chose to make her heroine intolerant to other peoples lifestyles for a unknown valid reason or maybe it was based on her own beliefs. Either way, it rubbed me wrong.

I will say that I enjoyed this novel more when I ignored Morgan. The premise of a world filled with demons who possess willing hosts & exorcists who banish the rogue demons was very fascinating. I finished the novel solely to hear more about them. I'm not sure If I will pick up the second book,The Devil You Know, but I might give it a try if only to read more about the other supporting characters. (less)

Why is the romance so formulaic? Why do I keep on reading it? This entry in the genre doesn't really answer any of those questions, but kept me reading it in search of the answer to a new question: “How is this book so fail?”

Several specific sorts of fail aside, it's not a bad book of its sort, if its the sort of thing you like. Androgynously-named Girl is an exorcist in a world where demon possession is legal, if done with the host's consent, and the concomitant crime keeps her fairly busy. It's an interesting world, and Black has put a lot of thought into the social implications, and even the religions that grow up around demons.

When I say fail, I'm making some assumptions about what the book is attempting to achieve (and what it fails at.) I'm assuming it's intending to be soft-core erotica, and as such, that it intends to be erotic to its target audience of presumptively heterosexual women. Why, then, does the narrator persistently tell me how sexy she is? The effect is a bit like she is a phone-sex-worker, assuring you she is sexy, sexually aroused, and performing sex-acts, but without any heavy breathing which might add plausibility. Even if this were an interest of het women, someone who seems more interested in how hot they are than in their partner is sort of off-putting. She seems to feel there is something thrillingly transgressive in her interest in sex, and willingness to perform oral. While I am certainly not against women enjoying sex, this is a necessary but not sufficient condition for hot smut.

And there is a lot of smut to no purpose; the scene may function so that the reader can see Androgynously-named Girl skip out on the morning after, demonstrating her commitment issues, but I don't really need to sit through the bad-sex for that. It seems to be operating under the misapprehension that there is something inherently erotic in a listing of sex acts, or that merely telling the reader that something is sexy is sufficient to produce that effect.

At the same time as she is informing the reader that she is sexually adventurous, this seems to consist primarily in wearing low cut jeans that display a tattoo at the small of her back. She is first perturbed, then unwilling interested to observe physical affection between two men, who are certainly aware she is present and watching. She struggles with what this means about her. Um, hello, it means you are watching sexy men make out, this is not exactly some radical new kink.

And then there is the kink. The two sexy men mentioned above incorporate elements of sadism and masochism in their sex lives, and I'm being ridiculously over precise and yet vague because her narrative POV is useless for determining exactly what's going on. You see, Demons, once they posses a human host, can enable it to withstand and heal a great deal of damage, which is obviously relevant if your sex life includes pain. Androgynously-named Girl seems to be meant to learn a heart-warming lesson about kink, but she is reconciled to their relationship when she is told that the sadist of the pair, because he is a demon, is not really a sadist, in human terms, that is, he enjoys inflicting pain, but doesn't derive sexual pleasure (except, it later develops, that he does.) So their kink is okay, not because they're consenting adults who can make their own choices, but instead because he's a demon, who's not a psychopath (unlike, she seems to imply, anyone else who's a sexual sadist.) I'm oversimplifying, but really, the whole thing is a bit of an incoherent mess.

Oh, and there's a recurring theme where, in the course of her adventures, she'll get injured, or something, and worry that sadist boy is enjoying it, and do a visual check on his dick to determine where the mercury lies. It managed to be unintentionally funny pretty quickly.

There's a whole theme where she's possessed by a (naturally) sexy demon, who turns her on, about which she feels conflicted, etc, etc, but I was reading mostly in an effort to figure out wtf, and I couldn't really care too much about that.(less)

Okay, color me surprised. I read the first two or three chapters of this book months ago, and I was very unimpressed. First-person narration, so popular these days, is a hard sell for me, and the narration in those chapters irritated me. Morgan, the main character, spent too damn much time talking about her clothes, her attitude problem, even her tattoo.

If you are like me, you are easily drawn to any new book(and there are many!) in the dark urban fantasy genre just by the cover and teaser(they all sound very interesting at first glance). Although not every book finds a unique approach/twist or hits the right note(by howling, of course) to satisfy me, this was a good find. Morgan Kingsley is a strong and sexy woman, reminiscent of Rachel Mariana Morgan in the Kim Harrison novels, who has the ability to exorcise demons(slightly different from a...more

As the book opens, we meet Morgan Kingsley: kickass heroine extraordinare. She's tough, she's smart, she's a wiseass - readers of paranormals know the drill by now, and she's a winner. And then she realizes that she's hosting a demon, and in a very short space of time the book changes. Morgan loses her support system - and even tough, independent heroines need a support system. Her best friend, her boyfriend, her worldly possessions - for a host of reasons, she can't call on them. That leaves her alone, facing her worst nightmare, and more or less forced to accept the aid of a frenemy who wants to help out the demon she's hosting.

That's when we descend into S&M land. The S&M stuff really does drag on and on - if you are squeamish about S&M, you'd have to skip most of the middle and part of the end of THE DEVIL INSIDE. But the real problem, if you ask me, is the fact that the endless S&M drama is a classic saggy middle. We're talking a debut novel here, and the author lets the action stutter to a halt so that the protagonist, Morgan, can hem and haw endlessly about what to do. The sex is just a distraction from the fact that nothing is happening.

Now, I can forgive an author for a saggy middle and I can even forgive her for trying to hide it. But I'm not sure that I can forgive her for introducing this kickass heroine and then rendering her so utterly helpless. Whatever her options for action are - and they are few - Morgan ultimately surrenders her free will to her protectors. I don't mean the demon takes charge; I mean she gives up. She has no ideas, takes no initiative, loses her cool.

This is the beginning of a series, and maybe Jenna Black has a plan - maybe Morgan Kingsley will grow stronger, assemble a new support system, and take charge of her life. I'd like to think so, and I found the book compelling enough that I'll give the sequel a try. The beginning is so promising that it's hard to believe the author could totally abandon this wonderful kickass heroine she's created in order to run with a helpless, teary schmo. But I guess only time will tell.(less)

The demons take complete control of their host's body giving it extra strength & healing powers but leaving the host a silent passenger in their body for the rest of their lives. Understandably Morgan doesn't understand why anyone would volunteer for that position - in fact the idea of becoming a host is her worst nightmare! She became an exorcist to remove illegal demons who attach themselves to unwilling victims.

The book starts with Morgan attempting what should be a standard exorcism but when something goes wrong the demon she is exorcising attempts to use her as it's host. She manages to fight it off but is unable to understand why it was unable to attach itself to her. After this incident strange things start to happen, she begins to sleepwalk - waking to find strange notes written in her handwriting but that she has no memory of writing. Disturbingly these notes tell her that the demon couldn't attach itself to her because she has already been possessed. But that can't be right can it?

Unsure if her mind is playing tricks on her but terrified that she might be possessed she is forced to investigate. Soon she finds her worst nightmare has become reality and she doesn't know where to turn. People she thought she could trust are acting strangely and it seems like the only people who can help her are demons which goes against everything she believes in.

I really enjoyed the story - it was different to anything I've read before and Jenna Black has created a realistic world with interesting characters. I wasn't so sure about the S&M and M/M aspects of the book though - the only book I've read with S&M before was JR Ward's Lover Unbound (from the Black Dagger Brotherhood series) which I enjoyed but to be honest that part of The Devil Inside didn't really appeal to me. It's hard to say why it bothered me more in this instance but it left me feeling uncomfortable which meant I didn't enjoy the story as much as I could have. If you removed those elements I would have loved the book - there was plenty of action and intrigue and the plot was well thought out. I'm just not sure if I want to continue reading the series or not though. I already have the second book from the library so I will probably give that a try before making my mind up whether to continue further or not.(less)
