This is the first time in a long time that I have read a paperback book, as opposed to a kindle copy. I have to say it makes such a difference in immersion! Nothing quite like the feel of a book in your hands over a cold and wet weekend..
The actual book itself I really really enjoyed. I am a huge fan of the genre - so knew that I would have no problem buying into the book. It does start off a little slow (or at least felt that way as often with these genre of books there has to be a lot of time spent outlining the 'rules' of the fictional setting). Following this initial slow-ish start, the pace picks up and doesn't let off until the end.
The dialogue between characters I found really believable, and is a great strength of this book. Often it is easy to fall into the trap of overtly pompous and dramatic characters, but the author -Ash Miller- does a wonderful job of making it all so real. The plot itself is... bonkers - but great fun. Everything that needs tied up gets tied up, there is no unexplained events, and the ending is SO GOOD. The book is worth reading alone for the climax.

Demon Awaken is gripping and has well rounded characters that are easy to believe in. Its an interesting story too because it's set in more than one country (I enjoyed the descriptions of them) and is about the touring band and their relationships as much as it is about the occult. It was just the right length for me too (because I can't stand it when stories are padded out for the sake of it and become boring). I'm hoping for another book with the same characters in the future.
