Drift #1
Drift
When young demon, Leo Cutler, commits treason against Hell for saving a life he was supposed to help end, punishment for his betrayal is on the menu...
Sure to be served cold by his overlord Christian, it's not for fear of retaliation that makes Leo renounce Hell.
It is because he has fallen in love with the near-victim, a human, Shade Lewis.
Winning his freedom will not be easy, especially when the test involves going through Shade's murderous ex-boyfriend Darryl Kite, who has now, somehow, become a demon as well.
With Shade's love compelling Leo forward, will he discover he has the courage to give up an eternal life? Facing the many obstacles that Christian will surely have waiting for him?
Or will it all prove to be too much forcing him back into the confines of Hell?

About the author
Michael Dean
4 books28 followersMichael Dean was born in Mountain View California in 1976, raised in Tucson Arizona, and now resides just outside of Dallas Texas.
Michael’s adventurous style has led him to start and run a successful small business for the past ten years, as well as writing YA novels and playing music. His passion for music and the pen collided when he was younger, causing him to pick up a guitar and write his own music. That drive led him to starting his own band, getting it played on regional radio stations, even competing in Ozzy Osbourne’s battle for Ozzfest in New York City.
Still just as driven, now he prefers quieter days to himself, thus giving him time to improve on his main passion, writing. Drift, a YA paranormal fantasy, is a bi-product of that alone time. He hopes that when a reader picks up his works, he or she will love it just as much as he did writing it.

Well done for a first novel and I look forward to reading the rest in the series. There were a few things that should have been caught by beta/proof readers or the editor, some typos, story lags, etc.., but overall was an engaging story with well developed characters and an ending that leaves you wanting to see how the story finishes. I look forward to seeing how Michael Dean develops as an author as he gets more experience under him. I would recommend for YA paranormal readers.
