No one expected the apocalypse in the almost idyllic small town of Moon Ridge, nestled in the mountains of Virginia.

Harper Doyle feels different. She has more than her fair share of problems than any normal teenager; an absent father her mother doesn't talk about, and her friends died in a fire a year ago. There's no boyfriend in sight, not even the cute former childhood friend, Jake Hewitt, who's too busy hanging with the bratty son of the richest man in Moon Ridge.

It gets worse when Harper discovers she's possessed by a demon.

Cresil is a demon with a problem. She wants to be shed of Harper but finds she can't. An exorcism by Jake's psychic mother doesn't help.

Even worse, Cresil learns that she was never the demon summoned, but was sent by magic to take that demon's place.

Baal has plans that include leading Lucifer's demonic army into the mortal realm to jump start the apocalypse and battle Heaven. He just needs a possessed mortal to keep the portal between Earth and Hell open.

Except there's a prophesy-that includes Cresil, Harper, and Jake-to stop the end of the world.

 I received the ARC from the author. A few teenagers got together one night. They were going to summon a demon. It was just for fun. They had their instruction book, so what could go wrong? Really? Demon Memories is action-packed with what could go wrong and right. Possession, magic, epic good versus evil battles, and teen angst fill the pages. It’s a fun read with lots of surprises.

5 Sheep!

Maverick Heart

Lieutenant Michelle Roddenberry is a maverick and flaunts the rules. But as an officer in the Terra Federation Navy and with a galactic war going on against an alien race, one must follow orders. It is the difference between life and death. Grounded from joining her squadron on another mission and about to be dishonorably discharged too, she flaunts the rules again and steals her fighter spacecraft, flying off to join her squadron for one last battle.

Instead of finding her squadron, Michelle crashes on an unknown planet. It is a world full of changing wonder and danger. She finds another castaway there, an alien called Dakna. Both find themselves in a war with the planet, as Michelle tries to find a way off planet for them. The rule book thrown out; Michelle may find her maverick ways the only way to survive.
