Demon Inside

De: H.L Day

Narrado por: Freddie Wills

The forces of darkness are gathering, and only two men can stand in their way.

Jude Campbell can see demons. His psychiatric history says it’s all in his head, but he knows they’re out there. Watching. Waiting. Biding their time.

Dante Moretti is the half demon child that should never have been born. He might exorcize demons, but the dark urges from his demon side are growing stronger, and he knows the day will come when he’ll lose himself to them completely.

When Jude’s time runs out, Dante is tasked with keeping him alive. Jude might be temptation personified, but for Jude’s sake, Dante won’t give in. Only, being together is changing them, in ways neither could possibly hope to understand, and it’s no longer clear who is saving who.

Destiny has come calling. And love could be its prize.

Even Better on Audio

It took me a little bit to get into this one. I wasn't quite sure how I was feeling about it. I'm glad I kept going though. It is a great read.I enjoyed this story much more when I listened to the audiobook. I was pulled into the story easier with the narration by Freddie Wills.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

Action, Adventure, Destiny & Love

H.L. Day's tale of demons infiltrating human society and the half human half demon fighting those demons alongside a Catholic priest is captivating. Kept me interested throughout the story - no boring parts! There were moments when it seemed the fight would be lost but Day evolved the characters in abilities and maturity, thus escalating the violent action and potential for a successful or disastrous outcome in the battle to keep demons from ruling over humanity. Enjoyed the action and the developing romantic feelings between the MC's. Definitely a lovely taste of steamy moments were shared with the reader/listener. You can read the description and summary of the story in the publisher's blurb so I won't give anything away. The book is definitely worth a credit. Will likely listen to it again in the future.

Saving the Demon!

This story managed to be intense, mysterious, and romantic! It is quite realistic in the paranormal and mysterious aspects. I hesitate to write too much. Jude has to come to terms with who he really is, and Dante is half Demon. That being said these two are hot and steamy but have a big side of sweet in here as they learn to trust in each other. Rory our side character deserves a mention, he is well different and difficult! Freddie Wills narrated with an accent that really brought out the sensual romance and hit all the humor just right. A very unique and easy paranormal listen!

Enjoyed!

Freddie Wills does a great job of bringing this story to life. I was drawn in right from the start and my interest was piqued!
The pace of this story is wonderful. The characters interesting and easy to get attached to.

Dante and Jude have both had very difficult lives and when circumstances bring them together things don’t look like changing for the better anytime soon. What does change is the connection and chemistry between these two. Both are new to relationships so of course mistakes are made along the way. I loved seeing them figure themselves out.
The action will keep you turning page after page.

Hope to see more!

I loved this book so much.

The performance was amazing, this narrator did a fantastic job. I hope to hear more of his work in the future.

The story line had a lot of recognizable tropes but they were done in a new way that surprised me. I remember my jaw literally dropping several times, which doesn't happen often. I'm the kind of person who can often figure out the "whodonit" early on, but his one kept me guessing all the way through.

I haven't heard if there will ever be more books in this world, but I hope that some day we see more of these characters. More adventures fighting demons, and ***SPOILER*** I hope to see Jude's brother truly understand and believe after a personal experience with the supernatural.

Fantastic!

This new one from HL Day blew me out of the water! It was fantastic from start to finish! Edge of your seat action, compelling characters and a great storyline, this is the kind of book I will listen to over and over. Loved it so much! And Freddie Wills is a gem of a narrator, he has great things in store for him in the future. Great job!

Interesting Story, Great Performance

I enjoyed it. I didn't know what this story was about when I got it and it took me a few chapters to really get into it. The moment Jude and Dante meet is when everything became very interesting for me. I liked both characters and loved their character development, its one of those stories where characters are interesting by themselves but when they are together sparks starting to fly and everything starts making sense. Narrator did am amazing job telling this story. Overall this was a great listening experience.

Demon Inside - Finding His Other Half

H. L. Day has created a world where the characters have flaws that cause pain for themselves, yet eventually find that special one who matches to all their rough edges.

Jude has seen demons as far back as he can remember and his family believes it is because of mental illness. He knows that what he os seeing is real.

When a half demon catches his attention, saves him, then catches his heart, these two become an unbeatable team.

Secrets, and secondary characters are both helping and hurting this pair as the attempt to thwart the demons possessing humans in London.

Beautifully narrated and wonderfully written, there is lots of spice and lots of feeling!

Fascinating Story Concept

Very rich character development and story telling at its best. Definitely on the edge of your seat with plot twists and characters who are easy to like and root for.

Basic and forgettable

Nothing about this book stood out to me, from the storytelling to the characters, it felt very formulaic and followed all the tropes. Personally I also appreciate a slow burn if a character's "fun time" is going to play a part in saving the world and boy howdy did this do the opposite (and was also not nearly expecting enough to even end up on my spice meter so idk what other reviews are talking about).
