Written in a teenage girl’s POV this story is absolutely
wonderful.
One of my favorite set of quotes from this book:
"What's that?"
"the ultimate weapon for killing demons"
"It's a suitcase ."
"Well, yes, it is but it holds the ultimate weapon against killing demons"
Yeah, it actually happens, and yes it is actually a suitcase that is filled with all sorts of interesting things that will help Penelope fight demons.
The cover of this book completely got my attention, like no joke, it is one of the best covers and so completely fits this story and series. Dog. Bone. Enough said. This book is SHORT, but not super short. It will have you most definitely begging for more by the time you get to the last page. This series is bound to do well.

It begins with Penelope Dire, just out of high school,
working a crappy telemarketing job, she doesn’t want a boring desk job, and can’t
really conform to the “office life style” and thus quits. However, she really doesn’t know what was waiting
for her when she left that desk job and met Dr. Horror. A spell for prosperity and love kinda goes
wrong and releases a rather nasty demon, and Penny must now help Dr. Horror
slay it.
Teenage girl with pink highlights – just the image you want for a demon slayer right? Oh, and seriously, you’ve got a kick-butt heroine, strange and mysterious Doctor complete with NIFTY suitcase, fantastic writing, the pacing was just perfect, oh yeah, and Penny’s new company car, a HEARSE! Because that’s just the ride for the demon slayer right?! Come on now? You know you love it.

Too much fun! Makes me think of the boys' favorite TV show, Dr. Who. And pink highlights? She's gotta be kick-ass.
