Like a Demon: The Strange Case of Rebecca Prosper introduces us to Roxanne Rue’s serial series, setting things off with a story that will leave you desperate for more. This first book provides us with so much, giving us ideas of where things could go whilst leaving us clueless as to how everything will play out. It’s a great introduction to a serial that has me desperate to dive into more.
In truth, my rating of this one is a three-point-five-star rating. I had a big debate as to whether I would round this one up or down, and, in the end, I opted with down. This mostly reflects how harsh I am when it comes to rating books. Moreover, I’m positive the future releases in this series will be capable of pulling higher ratings out of me.
If I’m being completely honest, I’m extra harsh with my ratings of serial releases. I’m a lover of tomes, where I can sit and read an entire story in one. I do occasional read serial releases, but not often. I prefer it when they’re all released, allowing me to devour the story back-to-back, preventing me impatience from getting the best of me. When a serial sounds good, however, I’m willing to make an exception – as I was with this.
I’m glad I did. Although it wasn’t as steamy as I’d expected, this book set up the story extremely well. I really enjoyed the characters (I was wearing a stupid smile at many of the comments made), I adored the storyline that unfolded (there were many elements to it, and all aspects grabbed me), and the ending left me desperate for more (I would have been curious without the cliff-hanger, but the cliff-hanger has me in dire need of the next part of the story).
The reason I rounded down was because this one was very much an introduction point. It was great, it was necessary, but it ended just as things really got moving. I would have liked a wee bit more before it ended, but as it was that’s just me being picky. I know when I dive into the second part of the story, I’m going to get that action I’m desperate for.
Without a doubt, Like a Demon: The Strange Case of Rebecca Prosper has me curious about this serial.

5 CRANKY STARS
This is a very strange story, but I love strange. Paranormal is also something I love so the mixture is perfect. If you don’t like things that go bump in the night, this story is not for you. I did find it a little confusing in spots, but I think that’s because I read too fast. I simple reread the trouble areas and figured it out.
This story is about Galatea and Cyprus. A set of twins who work together as private investigators. It opens with them moving into a new bigger office. As they are packing, a man appears in their office looking to hire them. It seems that his daughter, Rebecca died a month earlier in Shreveport, LA under suspicious circumstances. He wants them to investigate it. Dr Prosper is sure there is no way his daughter could have had a heart attack.
The twins decide to take the case and start to investigate. Meanwhile, in their personal lives, strange things start happening. First, Galatea almost gets mugged but is able to bluff her way out (she is a former police officer). Then her gay brother hooks up with a strange, but handsome older man at a bar and his life takes a strange turn. The next night, Galatea is sitting on her porch when she meets a strange handsome older man that she can’t resist. Meanwhile, she and her brother are having explicit sex dreams about their new men.
When they get the info on Rebecca Prosper’s cause of death, things get stranger and stranger. Who are these strange new men they are involved with and what does he have to do with Rebecca Prosper? There is a real nail biting ending. Can’t wait to read book 2.

Holy Smokes, this book...
So, first of all, let me just say that this book is about NSFW as they get. The story takes place in New Orleans where brother and sister detectives Galatea and Cy get a new case about a missing girl. They end up stumbling into a whole lot of sex, demons and...well, more sex. It's a quick read, I managed to blow through it in a couple of days, but it's just the first in the series and, I've got to tell you, I can't wait for the next one. If you like freaky, kinky, dirty, dirty books, this is gonna be your jam. :D
