The Devil Inside (Morgan Kingsley, Exorcist, Book 1) by Jenna Black
This book was easy enough to read but not terribly well-written or plotted out. Even the idea was mediocre and done.
Basically Morgan is an exorcist with a huge chip on her shoulder about demons and those who choose to host demons. As an exorcist Morgan is able to expel illegal demons - demons who choose a human that is unwilling to have him/her. Morgan's brother Andrew willingly chose to let a demon ride him and Morgan has never really forgiven him for it.
In what should have been a routine exorcism Morgan is touched by a demon who should have been able to transfer himself to her body but it didn't. This causes Morgan some doubt and confusion especially after she finds notes she has written to herself when she'd been asleep to the effect of 'It can't possess you because you already have a demon' and 'Hi! My name is Lugh and by the way you can't trust your best friend because she wants to kill both you and me.'
If that were the basis of the whole plot that would probably be fine. But the author adds on these other little unnecessary messy details like some fairly graphic male-on-male S&M sexcapades. It's probably a turn-on for some but wasn't really what I was looking for in an urban fantasy book.
On the whole the book was a disappointment.
