The Demon’s Deadline
By Tori Centanni
My Review 4 stars
Nicki finds herself employed by a tight lipped demon that expects
her to jump regardless of time or day. Finding herself delivering mysterious
envelopes to many people who while her showing up at their door with them,
don't seem all that happy with her deliveries. Which for a teenage girl trying
to finish high school is bad enough, but curiosity gets the best of her when
one of these individuals tries to banish her with holy water and salt.
While she is busy helping her demon boss, her regular life seems
to unravel, her boyfriend and best friend are upset with her, her father is out
of town due to an ailing mother, and her mother passed only a few years back in
a car crash. Nicki finds herself struggling to balance all of this in her life
and her demon boss seems like the perfect distraction.
This is a great, quick read, I would have liked a longer story!
The characters were well developed and the story flowed very well. The end
leaves you to believe that the story doesn't end here.

Nicki almost died in the car accident. Instead she was offered a deal. Now she works for the demon Azmos, delivering his mysterious envelopes all over town. Only her boyfriend Cam knows the truth about her after-school job—Cam, who’s (thankfully) as understanding as he is gorgeous and smart. Nicki’s never had Cam’s bold ambitions; her only talent is guessing the killer in a horror movie. All she wants is to graduate high school, marry Cam someday, and live happily ever after… but lately her work for the demon’s pulling her into deeper danger. Danger that threatens her life and also the bonds that matter most to her. Her best friend Melissa, whom she’s forced to lie to. Her grieving father. And Cam. But is it even possible to free herself from the contract that saved her life? And what if she did manage to untangle herself from the arcane world forever — without it, what kind of life does Nicki have left? Once you’ve seen death and darkness, once you know that magic is real, how can you ever go back to being a normal teenager? It’s finally time Nicki faced her own demons….
