One minute Killian O'Brien was enjoying his expensive scotch and about to relax after a day of escorting souls into hell when he suddenly finds himself in a strange living room. Killian has been summed by Daisy and her teenage friends to find her older sister a boyfriend. He's not happy being at the mercy of teenage girls but if finding Poppy a boyfriend is what Killian must do, then let the search begin. But things start to get complicated when Killian begins to fall for the smart, pretty, t-shirt and jeans loving Poppy. Suddenly being a demon and all the perks that come with it sounds unappealing and very lonely.

Killian is a demon and proud of it. He enjoys having expensive things, power and he doesn't even mind his job of escorting souls to hell. It's all he's even known really. When Daisy and her friends summon him, he's not pleased. Hell may be, well Hell, but it's nothing compared to being forced to do what 3 teenage girls tell him to. I laughed a few time just at this image alone. Killian's first attempts to find Poppy a boyfriend fail because he is rude and doesn't really think that what he says is offensive. Seeing how this is getting him no closer to returning home, Killian decides getting to know Poppy is the best way to figure out what man would be best for her. The more he gets to know Poppy the more he wants to keep her for himself and for the rest of the book he goes back and forth on how he feels about her. Nothing I haven't read before.

You pretty much know what's going to happen between them but I still thought the story was cute. Poppy is a little dorky and is more cute than gorgeous. She gave up the career she really wanted for something that provided a more dependable pay check in order to take care of her sister after their parents died. She is the type of character I'd love to know in real life. I did have two issues with her though. One, her sister and friends kept coming up with ridiculous stories as to who Killian is and Poppy knew something was off but that was about it. The second thing is how insecure Poppy was at times. I understand that Killian is model handsome but one minute she would be confident and the next she would have herself believing she wasn't good enough to even be near him. It got a little old.

Truth and Demon was an entertaining read. There is a lot of humor with a few slightly dramatic and emotional scenes woven into the story and a few steamy moments to top it all off. It also has one of my favorite kind of scenes in it where a character gets back at your ex and the cheap floozy he left her for. I'm not the only one who enjoys those moments right?
