Reluctant Demon Diaries #1
Lucifer's Flood
“The sensation of falling was terrifying…we tumbled out of the realm of the heavenly light into perpetual darkness. We had not seen darkness before--not like this anyway... A strange man shows up at the office of language expert Samantha Yale with a mysterious scroll written in an even more mysterious language. As she begins to translate, she discovers an eyewitness account of the war in heaven from an angel who sided with Lucifer and then deeply regretted his decision. The tale is hard to believe... but impossible to ignore. Linda Rios Brook brings new depth of imagery into the spirit world and scholarship to the old debate, “What happened to the world between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2?” Part intriguing theological exploration, part swashbuckling adventure, Lucifer’s Flood presents an equally fascinating and frightening tale of prehistoric heaven and Earth.

I had such high hopes for this book and it met absolutely none of them. One of my biggest complaints is that it lacked emotional depth of any kind. The author warns us before the story begins that some of the biblical characters may seem too human, and that this was, in fact, done on purpose. My issue is that she made quite a few of them whiny and irritating without actually delving into any of them. The narrator's lack of understanding of faith even kept us from really seeing deeply into Abraham and Noah, two characters heavily focused on. It was also curious that the author glossed over everything between God stopping Abraham from sacrificing Isaac and setting the scene for Moses. Really? You're gonna jump over the majority of the Esau/Jacob stuff and the Joseph stuff? What about Dinah?
I also took issue with the language of the narrator. It seemed like the author couldn't decide the level of his knowledge. There were words he didn't understand - "faith" for instance - but he continually used modern colloquialisms in a document that is supposed to be older than the Torah. I don't buy it.
Both the teaser on the back of the book and the cover art made me believe that this was going to be an intriguing book, with a healthy dose of conspiracy and darker themes. Unfortunately, any conspiracy that might be at play here was only hinted at in the first couple of chapters and the last one. I am sorely disappointed.
Though there are worthwhile parts of the book that made me think about my own faith and the real substance of faith and temptation, my disappointment in it outweighs those by far.

I'm disappointed. I picked up this book expecting some sort of intriguing fiction, since the subject sparks mystery, but what I got from it was less than satisfying. It started off well enough to cause me to believe my expectations would be met, but after a quarter of the way through the novel I got bored real fast.
Some of my favorite bits of book were of Dr. Yale and the mysterious stranger Mr. Wonk because there was a hint of mystery. Unfortunately I was quite literal when I used the word "bits": the very beginning and the last chapter. In between those parts is what built up the bulk of the novel: an unnamed demon's diary. I liked the first part because it dealt with the war in heaven, although I felt it to be somewhat lacking, and I liked it up to the point where he spoke of Eden. After that I found it boring. Not to mentioned I disliked the demon narrator.
The unnamed demon writer was a cowardly, sniveling, whinny character that caused the reading to become exasperating at times. I also didn't like the way he spoke. It was too "modern" if I can put it that way. If the diary was printed on ancient scrolls using hieroglyphs then I imagine his speech wouldn't be plagued with slang. I didn't like the way Satan was portrayed either, as he more or less is depicted as a whining brat having one temper tantrum after the other. I have no qualms if the author actually believes Satan to be this way, but it makes it less engaging read in my opinion.
Here's the number one reason the novel failed to live up to my expectations: there was no suspense! I feel somewhat mislead by the books synopsis and cover design because I thought there would be a grander story about the behind the scenes of the spiritual world. Instead the novel played out much like it would have if you read the bible through a demon's perspective. What I gathered what I thought would be about from the synopsis was only the first part of the story. After that it was all bible. It was nice to look at things from the bible a different way, but that was not at all what I was expecting when I picked up this novel from the book store. Sometimes I felt like I was receiving a sermon, where the author tried to be deep, and I felt that slowed down the pace at times. And some of the dialogue between bible character was just bad.
However, not all of it was bad. There were some things mentioned in here that I had never thought about, and there were some nicely written lines and paragraphs. I just wish that the modern day parts were more abundant and that they were weaved throughout the story instead of at the beginning and last chapter. The story ends with a cliffhanger that definitely makes me want to know what happens next to Dr. Yale, but I don't think I want to sit through more of the demon's voice just to get to the good parts.

What a cute quirky book. It is unique in it being an account of Very early time from a fallen angel/demon. The story unfolds as translations of ancient scrolls. They tell of the war in heaven and of early man. It gives this fallen angels view point of early biblical characters, interjecting his running, sometimes humorous commentary. Will be reading the next installments.

A very enjoyable read telling how Lucifer and his angels rebelled against God. This story is told from a demon's perspective. It is amusing but the author throws in those bits that really make you think. Redemption, faith, forgiveness and the question of whether you are sitting on the fence half serving God when you feel like it. An entertaining read.

I read this book not because I was interested myself (although the subject matter caught my attention), but rather to get an idea of how and when it toed the line in terms of Biblical value before my daughter read it. As someone who is interested in the supernatural, and as Christians ourselves, we felt it important to expose her from a Christian perspective.
In terms of the setting and plot, the concept here is great, but unfortunately I felt more than once that the book simply fell short of the majesty such times/places warranted. Case in point: The 'war' in Heaven as described by Brook feels like it lasts less than 5 minutes and involves only a handful of angels/demons. Likewise, after the demons are cast out of Heaven, I never really got the sense that I was dealing with more than 10 or 20 total - more like a gang of thugs than a multitude of powerful spiritual beings.
This problem presents itself numerous times throughout the story, and is agitated by the fact that the demons, for the most part, are presented as incredibly stupid, whiny, and just annoying persons. Granted, it's written from the perspective of one of these beings, so perhaps through his eyes he overlooks what we as humas would perceive to be true terror (and in all fairness, this concept is alluded to more than once, but it would have helped to have a good grounding in how awful life beyond Heaven and God is instead of simply sweeping it under the rug).
As far as interpretation of Biblical people/places, that's where the book gets really interesting. Interpretation is a fantastic thing, since everyone has their own take on pretty much everything. On one hand, reading through some of the Bible stories as narrated by the demon (Lot's visit by angels just ahead of Sodom and Gomorrah's destruction, for example) is incredibly insightful, and takes a simple story from the Bible and puts it into a context in which the words and actions of the individuals actually makes sense. To elaborate, this particular Bible story always bothered me in several respects because I have trouble understanding why Lot did and said the things that he did and said. I'm sure if his emotions, underlying goals, and local traditions were always clear, it would make more sense when read straight from the Bible, but I often struggle with this. So in this case the story never quite made sense to me. Brook's take is very interesting and makes complete sense, so it was enjoyable to rediscover the store through new eyes. We see this over and over again in the book as we recount stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar, Abraham and Isaac, Lots, etc...
However, therein lies the potential problem. For this is a fictional account of these events, and while Lucifer's Flood may have helped fill in the blind spots in some of the stories, there's always the possibility that it fill these vacancies with falsehoods. Granted, that's a risk you take with any book such as this, so it's by no means a dig at this book in particular; merely a warning in general.
Case in point, I've heard a completely different take on why Lot offered his daughters up as sexual playthings to the men of his city from more than one pastor. Their takes are 180 degrees of from Brook's take; however, I couldn't tell you which is more accurate.
In the end, as long as you consider Second Heaven, the way events unfolded in Heaven, the destruction wrought upon the earth between the war in Heaven and the creation of Adam and Eve, and all the other little bits and pieces along the way in an entertaining but wary context, the book is definitely good reading for a young person. Not sure if I'd recommend it to an adult, however, since it's very easy reading (I was able to knock out 3-5 chapters per hour very easily), and it doesn't dig into the really dark aspects of the story as it could have been told.
Having said that, there are multiple times Brooks is able to wrest a difficult Biblical concept into simple-to-digest terms through the eyes of the demon narrator, and that's probably the book's biggest plus. These moments are and far between, but when they show up they're well worth the read.
I'm giving this one 4 out of 5 stars, with the understanding that it was written for a young adult audience, takes many liberties in an effort to deliver Biblical truths in a clear and simple context, and tends to avoid the incredible depths to which it may have aspired should it have been written to a different audience or to explore alternate aspects of spiritual warfare.

Very interesting on seeing another point of view and as a story I could not put down
January 22, 2025
I wanted a bit more plot. It was mostly a rehashing of Genesis with some added banter. But I see now that this is the set-up book for the rest of the series. Really looking forward to the other three books in the series. :)

I loved the re-imagining of the biblical stories from before Adam and Eve all the way to Abraham and Sarah. It's so refreshing and it was a tad bit funny especially given the narrator - one of the angels that was banished to earth with Satan. He is such a scaredy cat. Having the stories told from his perspective was splendid work.

if i could give (1) singular book negative stars, it would be this book. this is easily one of the worst novels i've ever had the displeasure of reading in my entire life. i would gladly sit through all six years of catholic school a second time than to re-read or continue this SERIES (don't get me started on how the hell (no pun intended) this was given /multiple/ sequels).
the writer somehow managed to find a bewildering combination of racism, sexism, and unnecessary man bashing all rolled into one. whether it be from the commentary about how "stupid" men are and how staple characters such as noah and adam lack a brain, to the insulting "women are too detailed and they're so emotionally charged!!" bullshit lines, the author doesn't miss a beat. oh, and let's not forget about how "all the egyptians were ruled by satan" gem which -- you know, i'm not even going to go into why that is fifty shades of wrong. if you don't know, you're part of the problem.
and if you think that, shucks, well, emily, was the writing at least worth while?
no, gentle reader who got suckered into buying this for the cover art like i did, no, it is not. the writing is third grade level, at best, with the word 'thing' thrown in every paragraph at least one time. the author continuously forgets the names of the biblical characters and bounces between three variations in the same page (ie; sarah, sarai, sara), unless one of them was a typo which -- color me not surprised.
i will end this review with a quote, from abraham to God, which really should have been from writer to reader, "i'm really sorry i did such a stupid thing".

About Lucifer's fall from grace told by a reluctant angel/demon who got caught up in the moment. All I'm gonna say is this made Lucifer sound like a whiny spoiled bitchy teenager who was the supreme leader of other whiny spoiled bitchy teens. I love these "war in heaven" novels but not when they portray demons/angels to be this silly.
August 29, 2017
This was one of the worst books I've ever read. I enjoy all sorts of books wth various writing styles, subjects, and viewpoints so I rarely discourage people from reading anything, but seriously, don't waste your time on this. The idea was interesting and unique, but it's terribly realized and poorly written.
July 15, 2009
This is an interesting take on the fall of Lucifer from heaven as told by one of his henchmen who believes that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It had a "Screwtape Letters" feel to it, but not as good.
April 8, 2022
All I can say is, Wow! Christians and non-Christians alike need to be careful with this one. I say that because we need to be cautious about taking the Bible and "adding to it" (and "taking away"). This is the hard part about Christian Fiction, especially Christian Fantasy. My point being Brook does such a masterful job weaving a tale of what possibly could have happened before the foundations of the Earth were put in place and during ancient times that you actually believe what you are reading is all legitimate!
Also, this story reminds me a little of John Gardner's Grendel--a story told from the antagonist's or anti-hero's point of view, which I feel is beyond necessary in all types of media and simply intriguing.
I've had Lucifer's Flood for years and just picked it up this year. I wish I hadn't have waited. I don't typically gravitate toward series, which is what this is. In fact, I downright try to stay away from them, but I find myself very ready to read the sequels in the Reluctant Demon Diaries!

Disappointing. This was supposed to be a fictional story based on ancient scrolls wrote by a demon.
NOT.
While yes, it was a recount of biblical stories, it was not ancient because there were too many modern day words and slang, unless it was mistranslated, which brings a question of honesty for the female side character because not only did she add slang to her translation, but she made the so called demon/fallen angel sound like a whiny teenage spoiled brat, who knew of their mistakes but were too lazy to do anything about it until, it seems, towards the end of the book. Not a good way to get reads to connect and like characters.
It was well written, and the idea was interesting, the execution was not.

I really enjoyed this book! It’s a really interesting perspective of these biblical stories. Even though Linda Rios Brook made it clear this was only a fictional story, it’s really interesting to look at these stories in that way.
I thought at first the whole Samantha Yale thing was not really needed other than getting us to the actual story itself, but that ending really got me interested in seeing what’s going on there.
I think the whole demon who was wrongfully banished from heaven is a really cool and interesting thing to include. It makes me wonder if we’ll explore that more later on in the series.
Overall really enjoyed it and would recommend!

What an Awesome Read
This book is incredible. Hard to put down. Written with the same intrigue and peek into the Spirit realm akin to Frank Peretti's works, yet this volume stands alone! I exchanged emails with the author and offered her my thanks. I was impressed with the Lady's humility. As with most deeply spiritual people and those ahead of their time, she was facing much persecution. Her spirit and faith was strong and I was impressed with the grace and fortitude that held her firm. I can hardly wait to read the next volume. I'm a fan for Life!!

I took sometime off from reading due to daily day to day life things and this is the first book I read in a while. I took my kids to the store because they wanted some new books and for some reason I grabbed this one for me. I couldn’t be more excited that I picked it up. I was completely enthralled from the moment I started it. I felt as though it was very engaging and demanded my attention. Great book and good read. I just purchased part 2 of this series today and cannot wait to get started on it.

Compelling. The setup of the book is hard to imagine at first. But that’s besides the point because the actual story within the story is what matters most. To learn about creation and the fall of man from a demon’s perspective is compelling. It’s fascinating to imagine learning and discovering the firsts acts of obedience and “faith” through the eyes of a demon. It’s an entertaining retelling of the book of Genesis.

So some scrolls are taken to an expert to decode and the voice of a fallen angel fills the page. He became Satan's watcher as the Old Testament events unfold. Yes, Lucifer is a whiney teenage boy at times and the watcher is a frightened fool but he see's God and his people up close, and seems to understand God better than most of the others. I enjoyed reading this book and it made me think.
July 10, 2019
This book took me way to long to read considering how short it is and how simply it’s written. I think it’s because the majority of the story is basically just a retelling of the Bible from a fallen angel’s point of view, and only minimally from Samantha’s. While I might not have loved this, I’m interested to see if Samantha’s part plays a larger part in the following novel.
July 29, 2023
What a fun book! I'm glad I have the next one in the series already. I'll be looking for the final two next.
I didn't think the characters were "too human". Were they a bit whiney? Yes! But, so are a lot of humans. It made me relate to some of them more than I ever had in all my years of reading the Bible.

Premise of the book is interesting…the biblical story of Genesis told from the perspective of a fallen angel. Shows the conniving nature of Lucifer and how God’s people either listened to God or fell for Lucifer’s traps. Some of the moments were quite funny. I’m looking forward to seeing where the next book goes in the series!
June 17, 2017
This is the second book in a row that I've started but had to stop reading. Although I REALLY wanted to read and enjoy this fictional account of the fall of Lucifer and those that followed him, I just couldn't ignore the many blasphemies contained therein. Oh well, on the my next read.
May 8, 2019
the best book I have read in a long time. its such a thought provoking page turner and to see the bible from demons/Satan's view is compelling! I've ordered the next three books now I just have to wait patiently till they arrive!!
March 21, 2020
I started this book not knowing there are more...ahh..fine I'll read the others LOL..very very thought provoking. Easy to read, not preachy, got a devil's advocate going on here with the main voice of the story.
August 13, 2022
This was an enjoyable read. Some interesting thoughts to consider. As a Christian I was encouraged by the faith of Noah and Abraham. Hearing from the prospective of a reluctant demon was intriguing. I think I'll continue to the next in the series.
May 21, 2017
Really enjoyed this book and the series! Gives a new spin on biblical stories from a different perspective
April 12, 2018
Interesting take on the bible. Story from the point of view of a fallen angel as he sees the earth and man created.
March 10, 2019
A must read!
September 26, 2019
A read alike for those who like Angels & Demons. I enjoyed it, read it quickly and am looking forward to the second book in the series.
