Review Detail

Reader reviewed by the book muncher

Kiriel is sick of Hell; thats where he works. Hes a demon although he prefers to be called a Fallen Angel. So, he decides to take a vacation by stealing the body of a slacker teen named Shaun. It seems a good way for him to experience human emotions and experiences. Even though Kiriel could get in a lot of trouble for his vacation, he risks it, because he was in Hell to begin with and he would only be sent back there. But as Kiriel experiences life in Shauns body, he starts to develop relationships with those close to Shaun which could cause complications when someone higher up finally notices Kiriel has left his post in Hell.

The story in Repossessed was very interesting, yet I felt it didnt go very deep. I think thats because even thought Kiriel spent some time in a human body, he still didnt fully understand what it is to be human. I really liked how many of Kiriels actions were very humorous though; for example, he enjoys doing Shauns homework because he likes using different writing instruments. However, that worked against the story in the end, because Kiriel wanted to leave some kind of footprint behind on earth from his short time there and the story got more serious.

Repossessed was enjoyable, but the story didnt really stand out for me despite its uniqueness. Readers who like humorous, if not action-filled, stories will enjoy this novel.
