Demons in the Big Easy: A novella
by Jamie Marchant
Demons in the Big Easy is a novella about a grandmother named Cassandra trying to protect her family and world from demons.
The thing I liked most about this book was Cassandra. In her, you have both a loving grandmother, but also a kick butt witch. Focusing a story like this around someone like her was both unique and enjoyable.
The first half of the novella was excellent. It really drew me in and made me want to read more. The first parts of the plot flowed smoothly, and Cassandra's emotions were expressed very well.
The things I didn't enjoy so much were the character Jake and the further parts of the plot. Jake seemed to come from no where into the story, and I was surprised that Cassandra let him join them. When we meet his mother, I was even more shocked. He talked about his rough past with her, but then he tells her about Cassandra and that world anyway.
The ending didn't give much closure, but what it did seemed too much for a sequel possibly. It would make more sense if there is a sequel, though. The ending with this left a lot of questions.
Overall, I would give it 3 stars. I liked it and I enjoyed reading it, but some parts of it just didn't seem logical to me.
