text ñ Kayla and the Devil Ò Bryan Smith

T that but now her past has come back to haunt her Someone wants revenge Bad enough to engage the services of the devil But the tables have turned again and the devil now has his own deal to offer KaylaHe can end her suffering End the shunning spell But only at a very high price And Kayla must decide whether she has it within herself to surrender her soul and commit an act so heinous it will damn her foreve Kayla and the Devil is the first novel Bryan Smith wrote after the death of his wife Rachel and he dedicates this one to her I had heard about his troubles a while before picking this one up and along with feeling sympathy for the guy I wanted to see if his writing had changed in any way I figured he would write a very bitter novel about how the world was created by being shit out of the unclean ass of a less than adeuate god but thankfully Smith does not go in this direction Instead he ventures into the land of urban fantasy; a land that I know very little about The book follows Kayla's troubles and her efforts to rectify them by completing a task for the devil See that The title is relevant to the story Since Kayla has been cursed by the father of one of her classmates she is now shunned by the whole of society and believe me this is definitely a good thing for society to do to someone like this Kayla was partially responsible for this girl's suicide and her father has made a deal with the devil to make sure that Kayla knows what it feels like to live the way his daughter did Anyway the book has the feel of a game since the devil gives our horrible disgusting mouthy cunt of a main character a time limit to kill uh I mean perform said task The real fun of the novel is solely in the plot I could not put this book down because I really wanted to know how this annoying college ueef was going to do what needed to be done and I was also interested to see who all the devil was going to send to help her Jack AKA Alfred the Ripper is one of these interesting characters Now if you are like me you may be wondering why such a terrible person Kayla wouldn't be able to do whatever it is that the devil wishes of her Well apparently she has a bit of a conscience which makes this book progress nicelyNow the main flaw with this book and with every other Smith novel I have read is the writing I swear it is like he is writing for high school drop outs or something His descriptions are so horrible sometimes that I would have dropped this book for good if his plot wasn't amazing Every now and then his actual writing skills would shine through like gold coins floating in a sewer but for the most part he chooses to write badly Chooses is the key word there because I know he is much better than this I understand if he is trying to be uniue but I don't get why he is doing it in this way On top of that his dialog is about as horrible as the actual writing and reminded me of some of Brian Keene's annoying novels like Kill Whitey and Castaways If you aren't really bothered by prose and can read anything as long as the story is engaging you should really like this book but if you are one of those people who complain about Stephen King's writing uality you probably won't be able to get through this Treat yourself to something by Peter Straub Clive Barker Tim Curran or Tim Lebbon instead
