CAITLIN RIDDLER wants the hottest of hot dates for the Spring dance. She laps up the advice in The Wish and posts pictures of her sexy, non-identical twin JOSS on Internet dating sites, whilst telling everyone, particularly MERRIBELLE that HE will be there. That's when a pod-sized spaceship crashes into AUNT RUSTY'S basement carrying XAVIER - intergalactic hitch hiking soul sucking demon.
I’m an author who loves to write stories that dig into the darker side of life. Some sexy, some spooky, some not.
I was dead chuffed when my novel, The Joy of Comfort Eating, won the 2016 ROSA Imbali Award for excellence in romance writing, and in 2011, my paranormal novella, The Hunt, won the Mills & Boon Voice of Africa competition. I mostly loved that the name ‘Delaney Delacouer’ ended up in print. Because a name like that deserves to be a dashing, romantic hero.
I’m back to writing paranormal YA novels which was where I started out - funny how life goes.
My home’s in Johannesburg, South Africa and, right now, I wouldn’t want it anywhere else.

I really really enjoyed this book. The story was relate-able in its setting of a typical high school and the angst, popularity contests, miscommunications and everyday issues of a teenage girl. I loved that the protagonist was not only an 'average' teenage girl interested in boys and acceptance among her peers, but that she was intelligent and driven in her pursuit of physics as a hobby and future career path. This made for a nice change. The paranormal take was also enjoyable as a new twist on any regular high school romance story. The author did a good job of including the family and its dynamics too. This means the book has something for everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing how Caitlin's story unfolds in the next book!
