Editor’s Note: What’s a girl to do? All Emma Vaughn wanted was some peace and quiet, privacy, and something to eat. But things are topsy-turvy at the late night Walgreen where she just met some wonderful eye candy–who has to be places on stand-by, because some crazy demon is demanding her attention. Sounds like a wonderful series for demon-huntress fans and Young Adult readers.
Ms. Burney introduces us to a feisty teen, who considering her trials in foster care should be in all kinds of trouble. But not Emme, she has a fierce faith in God and an uncanny ability to deal with foster fathers and demons that appear in front of her face from nowhere. When she meets Francis she is immediately suspicious, but she is certainly taken in by his luscious, “Blacktino” looks. She is also calmed by his seeming honesty. But, she has learned to trust no one. However, her empty belly and the demonic encounter at the drugstore, proves that Francis may be her only ally. Surely, at a minimum he is good for a meal.
The Exorsistah is funny, poignant and filled with snappy, sistah-girl dialogue. I truly enjoyed reading about a spiritual, street-smart demon-huntress. I recommend this young adult novel to readers of all ages.

I agree, Exorsistah was an excellent read. Definitely not just for YA. Claudia Burney can write anything.
