About this ebook

If you think the streets are mean, meet Emme Vaughn, demon-huntress.

She just wants a home, a hottie, and some kickin’ boots. Does she really have to fight the devil to get them?

After the creep who’s married to her friend Kiki tries to assault her, Emme Vaughn finds herself in an all-night Walgreens at 3 a.m. with a quarter in her pocket and a rumble in her stomach. She sure does wish she’d gotten to eat her french fries before she had to kick and run. But God has his plan, and apparently tonight he means for her to whip some serious demon butt.

Ever since her mom went crazy, Emme’s been wary of the gift they share for seeing demons, but she’s not about to let one get to her. So when an ugly beast lurks into Walgreens behind a dude who’s clearly up to no good, Emme tells it exactly where it can go. Problem is, the beautiful guy beside her at the magazine rack just helped her conquer the nasty duo, and now he wants her to join a group of demon-fighters led by an aging exorcist bombarded by requests to deliver people from evil. Shoot, and all she really hoped for was some breakfast.

    The title alone is two stars and it really is not bad for a series geared toward African American Christian teens. The plot is as follows: Emme is a teen runaway nearing her 18th B-day and she can see demons, she runs into a guy she falls in love named Frankie, who wants to be a priest, and he lives with Father Rivera and Mother Nicole; they fight demons through exorcisms. Kind of like Buffy, just instead of actually fighting demons with karate chops, they say the Lords Prayer and such. A lot of the problem with the book (besides the tragically trying too hard to be all that type dialog) is getting bogged down with plot movement. Burney spends 15 pages just on trying to find a way for Emme to go with Frankie to see Mother Nicole when they meet for the first time. They talk and talk and talk in circles in a lot of parts, not sure if that is supposed to convey hesitation or apprehension or exposition of character, but it really just holds the story up. Still, over all and for the geared audience, this one should be a winner and the dialog IS funny, (I found myself cracking up) which I don't think it is necessarily supposed to do. Here's a quote: "Lord," I silently prayed, "Can you help me stay feminine-looking? A cute brotha is standing right here, and a sistah still needs to look good, even if she is battling the power of Satan." Amen. Now it was time time to kick butt.-- uh huh, stuff like that....First in the series.
