Demon in Me
Demon in Me | Jennifer Soucy
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
With time, we forget even the worst parts of our past. Unfortunately, the past doesn't always forget us . . .
Layla survived years of addiction and trauma, burying the most brutal recollections of her past. She escaped Hell, slapped a tourniquet on her toxic memories, and found a measure of peace as a drummer in Las Vegas. Ten years later, she's finally moved on . . . until she’s called home to Connecticut, a last plea from her dying mother.
Back to Blackpool, where her estranged family awaits alongside her old enemies. The trip awakens her inner demons, voices who warn that history may repeat itself. A new cycle of violence begins, echoing events Layla barely escaped once. The voices urge her to fight, reminding her of wrongs that were never made right. If she gives in, she may lose both her sanity and her soul . . . a steep price to save a family who'd given up on her once.
Layla's reached a crossroads, a choice between an insatiable thirst for vengeance or forgiveness for those who harmed her. But some crimes are unforgivable, and some wounds refuse to be forgotten.

Great horror novel that infuses rock music into the story!

Layla lost her father in a horrific accident when she was younger. Now she's a recovering addict and drummer in a Las Vegas-based rock band. When her mother becomes ill, she has to go home to New England and face her metaphorical demons.

And maybe a literal one...

*She talks about it on my podcast: https://creativeops.podbean.com/e/creative-ops-ep2-jennifer-soucy-author-of-demo...

VioletBramble I'm looking for books with an element of music. I'm stacking this. On a scale of 1-10 how scary is this one? 4y
Christopher_Tallon @VioletBramble That's a tough one. I don't get particularly freaked out by much horror. 6-8, depending on your horror-tolerance.
The characters and storytelling take center stage over violence and gore (mostly).

VioletBramble Thank you. I do kinda freak out so I‘ll consider it an 8 and read it during the day. As a nurse I‘m less bothered by gore and more bothered by creepiness. 4y
