Demonspawn (Glenn Bullion)

Demonspawn - Glenn Bullion

This book came to me by way of recommendations. I actually purchased it last year but hadn't gotten the will to read it. Until this month, when my personal reading challenge theme for May was "Urban Fantasy With Male Protagonist". Thought the story fit...

It was a fun read -- Alex, the narrator was one of those nice boy. Even if we got he glimpse of how far he would WILLING to do, especially if bad people became truly dangerous for the people he loved, I couldn't help to think that Alex was still a 'goodie goodie' guy at heart. Nothing wrong with that, I loved his relationship with his best friend (turned love interest) Cindy and his sister, Alicia. Hey, good guys are fun too, okay?

As for the story, I could actually thought of it as rather mundane episodic kind. While it did have this huge action near the end, but it wasn't the main plot from the beginning. The story actually started with Alex in kindergarten, then fast forwarded to him in senior year, then after he graduated. Along the way we got more development of Alex and his power, Alex and his background, with a dash of current events, like Alex's pondering of his feeling for Cindy, and so on. We later had a plot involving vampire killers -- the part which driven the big action near the end.

Even so, the easy writing and the characters being truly likeable made this story very enjoyable. I had good time with them. I found out that book #2 actually featured different characters rather than going back to Alex as the main narrator. Didn't stop me from purchasing book #2 right away though :)

PS: I loved that Alex and Cindy's relationship was interracial. Needed more of that in stories
