The Good Demon by Jimmy Cajoleas
3.0
2.5
I really hated the fact that the demon ended up being bad after all. Like it was such an interesting premise that someone who was exorcised would want their demon back and then would try and get it back. The fact that in the end it just seemed to be some large metaphor or was just holding her back from real people felt boring as hell to me. I'm not here for a girl learning she has to let go of a toxic influence, I was here for demon-human friendship that triumphs over so called Good.
It turns out that was not at all what the story was about. Boo.
