A breath of fresh air.
Have you ever decided to spin a few stories in your head after drinking a few bottles of high-proof alcohol, then driving down a mountain in a car at 200 km/h only to land on a trampoline just before the end that hurled you all the way into space, however, seconds later you fell to earth without a parachute?
I think that this book was created as a result of this. I can't explain the sheer level of craziness any other way.
Wonderful interactions between good ol' Lascivious E. Wormboil aka Lew and Angel who is no angel but a human who is possesing a demon's body. Sounds weird?
Yeah... but... it's a good read when you just don't feel like reading the conventional stories here on RR.

However, in this case, it's not being possessed BY a demon, but rather a human possessing a demon, who then is stuck as one of the most offensive Jiminy Crickets there could every be.   (Technically, a Talking Cricket, as the original story didn't give it a name)
Angela, a somewhat mentally challenged human, is killed by ingesting demon blood. However, it's completely against the rules for a demon to kill a human, so Lew, the demon, is punished for both the death -and- failing to corrupt her, by having his body given to Angela to use.   Now she has to learn how to be a demon, with him only getting his body back if she fails at being a demon worse than him.
It's going to be a real challenge, because Lew is lazy, incompetent, and rather stupid, and those were his good (bad?) points.
It's a fun story, with interesting situations that Angela has to navigate while being 1) a demon, and 2) a good girl that tries to follow the guidance her (now-deceased) mother gave her as she grew up.   It definitely is not a deep story, and should take very little time to read through.   That time is worth it for the end, which might perhaps lead to something else later.

Wacky supernatural hijinks. Think Forrest Gump meets Supernatural and dead like me, but R rated. Each chapter is self contained and entertaining. The fourth wall is a common casualty. Good fun and entertaining.
Worth a read of a chapter or two even if it's not your preferred reading. Have a gander
