SPOTLIGHT ON: MY DEMON by LISA C. HINSLEY
C'mon, you all know my passion for this British author.
She's brilliant, versatile, and just the right pinch of a twisted mind to appreciate.
Should you meet and chat with her, you'll never suspect this pet-caring, loving mother could develop such dark-themed stories. Well, you'll be far off your tracks, because Lisa grips you from page one to the last line in the back cover blurb.
Author Hinsley has just released her newest creature, 'My Demon', a fascinating journey into adulthood, self-discovery, and madness, in Kindle and paperback editions.
I've found an hint of 'Donnie Darko' in this novel, as her Clive (a self-professed demon) appears as a cartoon character.
And I liked it. Oh, if I liked it!
Enough with my stupid rants, I'm glad to present you:
Amazon Preview
Clive beguiles and seduces and only Alex can see, hear and touch him. The stranger comes bearing a gift … and a warning. With the fate of their worlds in the balance, Alex is the best candidate, hand-selected to save the human race, and Clive offers his guidance and support to help her fulfill her destiny.
It’s like having an imaginary friend but nineteen year old Alex soon learns that the line between reality and perception is murky, with consequences too terrible to ignore. The gift is ‘sight’ and what she sees are human shells, their souls forfeit, including the people closest to her.
Clive makes claims—and promises—manipulating and punishing at will until he drives her to incomprehensible acts of desperation. Terrified, Alex must decide if succumbing to her new reality is worth the price she must pay.
Author Lisa C. Hinsley
BiographyLisa C Hinsley's career has been varied, working as an architectural technician, a pet sitter, a pharmacy supervisor and most recently a carer/companion for elderly ladies, all the while writing when she can. Born in Portsmouth in 1971, Lisa grew up in England, Scotland, and America. She now lives on the Wirral, in northwest England, with her husband, three children, and four cats.
