The Devil's Jukebox
Take one burned out Immortal, a reluctant ghost hunter, a mysterious DJ and a seductive villainess. Add Fate, Fortune, the modern day Muses, and the Devil’s Jukebox.
Jonathan Satori must confront an evil power in order to keep the forces of inspiration from extinction. It began twenty years ago when Jonathan discovered that he could speak to the dead… and that his best friend Phillip was immortal. When he reunites with his high-school friends they learn that the Greek deities known as the Muses are real—and in trouble.
In order to protect the Muses from the selfish desires of a renegade immortal named Pandora, Jonathan and his friends must find a mythical object; a jukebox with a revitalizing power. The only problem is that Pandora wants the same thing. The companions band together on a perilous journey, and along the way they struggle with love, loss, and the bonds of blood and friendship that stretch beyond the confines of life and death.
A supernatural urban fantasy road trip with rock and roll

One of the great things about goodreads is you get the chance to read new authors. This book is an example. A really good read with a storyline that kept me interested. I won this book from goodreads.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Devil's Jukebox - it was like taking a trip down a supernatural memory lane while listening to my favorite cassette mix tape! The storyline and characters held my interest and I wanted to find out what the hell happened to Martin Church ( loved the nod to Rudimentary Peni! )
Fans of Grimm, X-Files, Buffy, Angel, 3am road trips, Alien Sex Fiend, New Orleans, the crossroads, voodoo, sex, drugs, rock n roll and those friendships you forged in high school that you've never quite forgotten... this book is for you! A nice dose of paranormal pop-fiction is a fitting description indeed haha!

September 26, 2014Full disclosure: the author and I have run in the same music-crit circles in the past. What I liked about his writing then was what I liked most about his writing here: a feel-it-in-your-bones passion for music, a shape-shifting relationship that sometimes takes the form of vinyl junkie music-math (x-band + y-band = z-band) but more often rhapsodizes in images and abstractions and memories. Little surprise that his characters are so frequently "hit" by songs.
In this high-stakes tale of muses and immortals and indie rock, music is elevated to sacred act and artifact. Who needs a boring old cup when a glorious old jukebox can be your holy grail? This is a paranormal paean to the power of song.

Short chapters that were easy to read, however book was not easy to get into. I almost stopped several times. It was hard to understand and even when I finished the book, the concept was clear as mud.
