I would like to introduce you to a new Author N. R. Mayfield the Author of Demi Mondaine Volume One in a series of books I received from Voracious Readers for this review. Inside the post are my affiliate links if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the items you purchase.
Demi is a soldier that has done too much so she drowns her demons in alcohol and meaningless sex like a lot of us have done in our lives.. Or at least Demi tries to. As you read the story you will come to learn Demi doesn’t have too many redeeming qualities, but that didn’t stop me from wanting to find out what happened next because Demi is a ex-soldier who chases Monsters.
Throughout the story I found myself questioning reality and would have to sit the book down for a bit and do something else even though it reads as a short story turned novel. By the end of the novel I ended up enjoying the story and was excited to see how everything turned out. Being the first book I may or may not read the others in the series.
Spoiler alerts in this book is adult nature including sexual content and themes make sure you keep the book away from children and even though Charlie is 16 I wouldn’t let him read the story because of the Monsters which would keep him up at night.
About the book:
Life at the fringe of Society was all Demi had hoped for after her years of military service yielded nothing but nightmares, dust-covered medals, and a chilling moniker—the Butcher of Khost. But when Demi’s days of drinking and self-loathing are interrupted by a pair of border-hopping witches, she finds herself pulled into a world of shapeshifters, ghosts, and monsters.
Can Demi harness her old demons and put them to good use… or is she just another monster lurking in the dark? In this collection of twelve stories, follow Demi and her fellow hunters as they take on cartel coyotes, a hypnotic curse, and the mother of all ghouls. And when a demon slips free from Hell, it may just be more than even Demi can handle.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
