Daemon Theory
The First Impact. The day everything changed. The day humanity fell. Earth has been left in a state of disaster nearly five-hundred years after the rapture. And for more than five-hundred years, humanity has been forced to rebuild, atoning for their mistakes as a society and seeking aid from the only beings that would listen to their cries. Feeling as though the heavens had turned their back on them, humanity turned to the sentient beings of hell, living under the jurisdiction and dictation of High Arch-Daemons, known as the Black Order. Maye Holloway, a young woman of barely seventeen, has been unwillingly thrust into the dark world of the Daemons who control her people, slowly learning their horrific secrets. Maye's sole desire is to break free of Daemonkind's wretched hold on her soul, with her life intact. Though the fates have a different plan for the girl, and her monstrous partner, an enigmatic Arch-Demon with a questionable past of her own, Alecko vi Fenris. However, Alecko's motives are as vague as she is, and Maye begins to question who her biggest enemy The Order, Alecko, or herself.

Daemon Theory
J. Alton Mast
In Maye Holloway’s life there is only monotony that is until she meets a banished daemon with a plan. The daemon, Alecko vi Fenris pulls Maye from here ordinary and plain existence into a life that she never could have imagined. While meeting new allies, seeing personal power and special gifts of others and unearthing many details that the rulers of the new world would want to keep buried, Maye and Alecko find themselves locked into a friendship to help the greater good. In the end will Alecko get what she has wanted since banishment? “…I will be here to end you, slowly, silently, intimately. She whispered in his ear.” Read Daemon Theory and sequel Daemon Theory: Brotherhood to find out.
Daemon Theory is a post apocalyptic, science fiction novel. While the main elements of a post apocalyptic story line are explained thoroughly, as a reader I was confused by what seemed as jumping through different characters view points, and back stories that may not have fit in at that particular chapter or phase in the book.
Although the writing style was challenging to get through and around, the plot was engaging. When the novel comes to a close many of the plot holes come together. Overall, I would recommend that people read this novel, not for the author’s writing style but the ideas that she so vividly depicts inside the story
