☆3.5
There is something about possession and exorcism that scares me more than any other sub-genre in horror fiction. I blame it on growing up in a conservative Christian community, with the lingering belief that people can be so filled by evil, possessed, beyond their control. From the first page Culpepper planted the fear in my mind and continued to raise it to breathless heights. Then, after the fear of the first third of the novel it morphed into a mystery novel and all the terror melted like ice-cream on hot July asphalt.
The beginning is confusing. The main character is introduced as Debbie, but in the book description she is referred to as Diana Chambers. Then her mother, Lucille, calls her Deborah, never Debbie, because that is a stripper's name. So, when the protagonist has three names, all used before page 14, it confuses the reader.
The parental characters, Lucille and Denny Hebert are closely related to the well-known demonologists, Lorraine and Ed Warren. They even have a creepy doll named Christine kept in their artifact room of possessed relics.
Several uncomfortable topics are raised like the Satanic cult fears of the 1990s that I clearly remember from my younger years. It was rampant, crazy and had way too much influence on what we were allowed to do. Other issues I don't want to mention due to them being spoilers.
I received a copy of this novel for free through Booksirens, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Thanks to Culpepper, Scotland Publications and Booksirens for this opportunity.
While I did enjoy reading this novel I am not sure that I will read the rest of the trilogy? Who knows?

I discovered The Demonologists’ Daughters through my book club, and I’m so glad I did. None of us had read the author before, but the story sparked a lot of discussion. The mix of supernatural mystery and family drama made it perfect for a group read. We spent half the meeting debating whether the real evil in the story was paranormal or human. Highly recommend it for book clubs.

I loved the premise of The Demonologists’ Daughters. The story blends supernatural horror with a deep exploration of family trauma. The Louisiana setting adds an eerie atmosphere, and the mystery surrounding the father’s arrest kept me guessing. Some moments were genuinely chilling, but the emotional tension between the sisters was just as powerful.
March 15, 2026
This felt like The Conjuring mixed with a dark family drama. I really enjoyed how the story focused not just on the supernatural but also on the complicated relationships between the sisters. The author did a great job revealing secrets little by little. I definitely recommend this to fans of horror with emotional depth.

Love Spooky season? Love a good who-done-it? Love a little romance? If any or all of that is true for you, you are going to really appreciate the new novel from K. Scott Culpepper! This was definitely a page turner! Culpepper weaves in references from pop culture, current events, and mid-90s American history to tell the story of four sisters and their timeless devotion to each other. You won’t be dissapointed!

First time reading this author and I really enjoyed this book! Easy quick read and Supernatural (TV show) vibes, right up my alley. Loved the story about the family and the plot twists were great! Anxious to read the 2nd book of the trilogy.

4.5 STARS. AUDIOBOOK REVIEW. In this debut novel by K. Scott Culpepper, readers are taken between the “Satanic Panic” days of the 1990s and contemporary times as the now-scattered Hebert family is forced to reunite. The bones of the family’s buried secrets begin to appear after a death during an exorcism happens twenty-five years after the similar death of the Heberts’ eldest daughter. Further fraying the familial bonds, new questions are raised about the demon-hunting parents who are now charged with the murder – or is it murders?
In THE DEMONOLOGISTS' DAUGHTERS, author Culpepper offers a unique premise with multiple subplots to deliver not only mysteries, but also horror, romance, and an exploration of the complexities of family relationships. There’s a lot going on, and there’s a wide cast of characters, but Culpepper dishes out bite-sized morsels for readers to easily digest. And wow, talk about cover-love! The cover of THE DEMONOLOGISTS' DAUGHTERS is so evocative and perfect for the story.
Demonologists Lucille and Denny Hebert have three living daughters – Diana, Delilah, and Dorcas. These sisters are particularly well-written by the author who gives each a distinct personality to make her pop from the pages. Their frustrations and actions are believable, and it is heartwarming to see these women come together again after living such separate lives for the years after their sister Dinah’s death. Additionally, some peripheral characters had enough punch that readers will clearly love or loathe them, a mark of great writing.
On the other hand, Lucille and Denny Hebert, the demon-slaying parents, are murky characters. There’s little to like in them, as their self-described helping of people is questionable. Through their words and actions, it’s clear that they are racists, they cherry-pick the Bible to support their version of Christianity, their exorcisms are a farce, and they capitalize on them by writing books and creating films that embellish and flat out contradict the truth. (Side note: it is a stretch for me to believe the motive behind why the film is being made; there are easier ways to accomplish what’s needed.) As if those scammer qualities aren’t endearing enough, they also choose their so-called God’s work over raising their daughters, and instead of supporting Dinah in her time of greatest need, the Heberts worried about their own reputations – and there was a deadly price to pay for that choice that they didn’t truly ever own. GRRRRR. There’s some character growth and maybe even redemption for Lucille and Denny Hebert, but it wasn’t enough to make them likable. THE DEMONOLOGISTS' DAUGHTERS forced me to ponder the meaning of forgiveness and how hard it is to offer sometimes. Again, this illustrates Culpepper’s skillful writing because readers will have to reflect and will have so many strong feelings about these two characters.
In addition to the required suspension of disbelief needed for an integral part of the plot to work, one of the aspects of The Demonologists’ Daughters that I struggled with is in character names. Deborah Hebert (who also has several nicknames starting with D) changed her name to Diane Chambers as a nod to the character from Cheers, and that’s acknowledged. But there’s also a Chrissy Heinz, which sounds a lot like Chrissie Hynde (of the Pretenders), and Chrissy also goes by Christine, but there’s also a possibly possessed doll called Christine – not to be confused with the Stephen King possessed car of the same name, but likely the inspiration for the name. See my point? It’s possible that listening to the story instead of reading it caused some of my confusion; perhaps there are distinctive spellings that would help a reader along? Authors, take note if you think there’s a chance you’ll create an audiobook from your work-in-progress.
About the narration: I listened to THE DEMONOLOGISTS' DAUGHTERS at 1.1x, barely faster than the recorded speed. Narrator Hayli Henderson gives a terrific performance and voices the numerous characters so that each sounds unique. Her pacing is perfect, she handles the Louisiana bayou accents well, and the narration truly complements the author’s writing. There are a few odd pronunciations, but some would only be caught by readers-of-a-certain-age, like me. Overall, the audiobook of THE DEMONOLOGISTS' DAUGHTERS is fabulously narrated and I’d seek out Henderson again.
THE DEMONOLOGISTS' DAUGHTERS is all about coming to terms with family, warts and all, and overcoming dysfunction to find peace and even love. But don’t dismiss this as a simple feel-good story. The Demonologists’ Daughters counters the cozies with bloody chills and thrills, twists and turns, suspense, and a sickening reveal that keeps readers turning the pages. It’s strong debut fiction making K. Scott Culpepper an author to watch.

Southern Gothic Meets Sisterly Bonds: A Review of The Demonologists’ Daughters
> "Some family secrets may be better left buried."
In the saturated genre of supernatural horror, stories often focus on the hunters or the haunted. However, K. Scott Culpepper’s The Demonologists’ Daughters shifts the lens to the collateral damage of a life spent chasing the darkness: the children left behind. By blending the high-stakes supernatural tension of The Conjuring with the intricate sibling dynamics of Little Women, Culpepper delivers a psychological thriller that is as emotionally resonant as it is suspenseful.
The Premise: A Legacy of Ghosts
The novel centers on Diana Chambers, a woman who has spent her adult life running from her identity as the daughter of Denny and Lucille Hebert—a clear and fascinating homage to real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Diana’s attempt at a normal life is shattered when an exorcism conducted by her father turns fatal, resulting in a murder charge.
Forced to return to her roots in Louisiana, Diana must navigate a reunion with her surviving sisters. What follows is not just a legal thriller or a creature feature, but a deep excavation of family trauma. As Diana investigates the truth to clear her father’s name, she finds that the "Hebert personal demons" are just as dangerous as the entities her parents famously battled.
The Genre Blend: Horror with Heart
The tagline "The Conjuring meets Little Women" is a bold claim, but Culpepper appears to earn it by grounding the supernatural in the domestic.
* The Psychological Aspect: The book excels in exploring the psychological toll of growing up in a "haunted" house. It asks a compelling question: How do you grow up normal when your parents bring work home, and that work is demonology? The friction between the sisters—their shared trauma and their diverging paths—provides the emotional anchor of the story.
* The Setting: Set against the backdrop of Louisiana, the novel utilizes Southern Gothic tropes effectively. The humid, oppressive atmosphere serves as a perfect metaphor for the suffocating weight of family secrets.
* The Mystery: The central mystery—what actually happened during the fatal exorcism—keeps the pages turning. The shift from pure horror to a "whodunit" (or "what-did-it") structure adds a layer of intellectual engagement to the visceral scares.
Themes of Truth and Memory
At its core, The Demonologists’ Daughters is about the malleability of truth. Diana is forced to confront the mythology built around her parents. Are they heroes, charlatans, or simply negligent parents blinded by their crusade? The novel suggests that the monsters under the bed are often less frightening than the resentment and secrets hidden within the family unit.
The Verdict
The Demonologists’ Daughters is a standout for readers who enjoy horror but crave character depth. It moves beyond the jump scare to explore the lasting scars of fear. While die-hard fans of gore might find the pacing more deliberate, fans of atmospheric suspense and psychological deconstruction will find themselves right at home in the Hebert household.

📕 Book Review – "The Demonologists’ Daughters" by K. Scott Culpepper ✍🏻😊
The Demonologists’ Daughters is a dark, emotionally rich novel that blends supernatural horror with a deeply human story about family, faith, and survival. K. Scott Culpepper takes readers into the lives of twin sisters raised by demonologists, where evil isn’t just something whispered about — it’s something hunted, studied, and feared. Growing up in the shadow of possession, rituals, and constant danger shapes the girls in very different ways, making their bond both powerful and fragile.
What truly sets this book apart is its emotional depth. Beyond the chilling encounters with demons, the story explores grief, trauma, and the lasting scars left by a childhood surrounded by darkness. The sisters’ perspectives feel authentic and raw, allowing readers to experience both the terror and the quiet moments of longing for normalcy.
Culpepper’s writing is atmospheric and immersive, building tension without sacrificing character development. The horror elements are unsettling, but it’s the emotional struggles and moral questions that linger the longest. The Demonologists’ Daughters is not just a story about fighting demons — it’s about confronting the ones that live inside us. A haunting, unforgettable read.

The Demonologists’ Daughters* was a really engaging mix of family drama and supernatural suspense. The story follows Diana as she returns home after her father, a well-known demon hunter, is accused of murder during a failed exorcism. From there, the story slowly unravels layers of family secrets and tension between the sisters, which honestly ended up being just as interesting as the paranormal side of the story.
What I liked most was how the book focused on the emotional weight the characters carry. The demons aren’t just supernatural—they’re also the personal struggles and hidden truths within the family. That balance made the story feel more grounded and believable.
The Louisiana setting also adds a nice eerie atmosphere, and the mystery kept me curious about what really happened. Overall, it’s a solid read for anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers with a touch of horror and strong family dynamics. Definitely worth picking up if you like stories where the real danger might be closer to home than expected.

Fantastic read!
This book wrapped me up in allll the feels. There is a dual timeline, which the author did a magnificent job of making clear and concise. This leant a deeper perspective to the story, I believe. I loved the characters and felt my heart ache deeply for Dinah, the oldest of the sisters. Every sister is very different, but I loved them all. There are a few twists and turns, a dollop of romance, humor, mystery and drama. As I said, alllll the feels. There is a follow-up to this and I am excited to see where the story takes me!

This book hooked me from the first chapter. The idea of the daughters of famous demon hunters being forced to confront their own family secrets was fascinating. Diana is a compelling protagonist, and the tension between the sisters felt very real. It’s part supernatural, part psychological thriller, and entirely addictive. If you enjoy stories where family drama meets horror, this is a must-read.
March 16, 2026
I really enjoyed The Demonologists’ Daughters. The mix of supernatural mystery and family drama kept me hooked the entire time. Diana returning home to face her past made for a powerful story. One thing I kept wondering while reading though, does this book have an audiobook version? I’d love to experience the story that way as well.
March 16, 2026
A very engaging supernatural thriller with strong emotional depth. The author did a great job balancing the paranormal elements with the complicated family relationships. I enjoyed the story a lot and kept imagining how intense it would sound in audio format. Does anyone know if there’s an audiobook for this?
March 16, 2026
This was such a gripping read. The atmosphere, the secrets between the sisters, and the mystery behind the fatal exorcism made it hard to put down. I found myself completely immersed in the story. I’m curious though, is there an audiobook available for this? I think it would be amazing to listen to this kind of suspenseful story.
March 16, 2026
This book had such an interesting premise and it delivered. The mix of horror, mystery, and family drama made it very compelling. I finished it quickly and now I’m wondering if there’s another part to the story. If the author writes a sequel, I’d absolutely read it.
March 16, 2026
I loved the story and the way the mystery slowly unfolded. The characters felt real, and the family secrets kept the tension high throughout the book. By the end, I was left wanting more. I’m really hoping there’s another part or sequel coming because I’d definitely continue this story.
March 18, 2026
A strong mix of mystery, horror, and family drama. The characters are complex and flawed, which makes the story feel realistic despite the paranormal elements. The plot kept me engaged and the themes of guilt and family loyalty were very powerful.
March 18, 2026
This was a book club recommendation, and it turned out to be a great choice. The Louisiana setting creates a really eerie atmosphere, and the slow uncovering of family secrets makes the story very engaging. It’s the kind of book that makes you want to discuss every twist with other readers.
March 18, 2026
This was such a compelling read. The author skillfully blends suspense, horror, and emotional depth. I especially enjoyed the relationships between the sisters and how their shared history slowly comes to light. Fans of atmospheric thrillers will love this one.
November 10, 2025
I didn't love it. Too wordy...too many characters, too many flashbacks. I had high hopes for this series...

I’ve been searching for an audiobook version of The Demonologists’ Daughters but haven’t found one. It would make the perfect listen for long drives. Hoping one exists soon!

I finished reading this and immediately thought, “I need the audiobook version!” The atmospheric writing would translate perfectly to audio. Hoping the publisher releases one soon.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tale of a family still struggling with the fallout of a sister’s death and the Satanic Panic of the late 20th century. Diana is very relatable as the sister trying to figure out if recent threats to the family are from dark spiritual forces or man-made, especially once the women realize that solving a new murder may give them the answers they desperately crave about what really happened to their sister on that dark night long ago.
