Good read. Better for younger audiences as I feel like some aspects of the plot are a stretch or just a little to convenient but it was compelling. I found three misplaced/missing air quotations but not a big deal.

Most high schoolers, or at least those I knew growing up in a small town, talk about what it takes to “get out” or to “get famous”. This book explores that idea from the lens of a young man who is about to graduate and has nothing holding him in town. After a cosmic experience, he decides to get his old band back together and take another stab at making something of it, with the help of a demon. 
I found this book to be an easy ready with plenty of well placed gore. Overall, I give it 4 stars. Looking forward to more work from this author!!
