A Demon's Gift: Immortal Defiance, #1

By L. S. O'Dea

Iatee the Punishment Spirit is many things…

Powerful

Deadly

And currently, a stuffed teddy bear.

 

For years, he's been trapped inside one toy after the other. Tortured by the gods for doing what they created him to do—punish those who disobey.

The gods are finally giving him another chance to live unencumbered by fluff and plastic. All he has to do is make one child love him and he'll be free.

But when he's given to a child as payment for a vile act can he make her love him and save her from the horror of her life without sacrificing his freedom?

 

"BEST HORROR STORY I HAVE EVER READ! Absolutely incredible. I have never read a horror story or book that made me smile like this did. I was glued to the story." Norma G.

 

This stand-alone urban fantasy, paranormal horror story will make you laugh, cringe and root for the demon because he may be a punishment spirit but he's not a monster.

L. S. O'Dea

L. S. O’Dea sees things a bit differently than most people. This is probably a bi-product of being the youngest of seven children in a time when TV was only worth watching in the evenings or Saturday mornings and there were no computers. Back then, kids had to amuse themselves and being five years younger than her closest sibling she was often the unwilling entertainment.One day, before she started kindergarten, she really wanted to learn how to spell her name (Linda Sue). Her mother was busy so her brothers were told to help their baby sister. When they were done, she raced into the kitchen to show her mother what she’d learned. She stood tall and recited the letters of her name. L-E-M-O-N H-E-A-D.To this day, she still receives a box of Lemonhead candy every year for Christmas.

Reviews for A Demon's Gift

[montzaleew · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very cool prequel?A Demon's Gift by L. S. O'Dea has spirits that out in various bodies by how their behavior is in the last body. This is about a demon of punishment but slowly has been placed in lower and lower animals then to object until he is a stuffed toy. Pretty exciting really.
