The Exorsistah by Claudia Mair Burney RAW Rating: 4.0 (out of 5) Soon, Emme Vaughn will turn eighteen and will finally be on her own. No more depending on others for the basics of life, only to be let down. But, until then, she is a ward of the state and in the foster care system. Her friend, Kiki, is providing her with shelter and food. That is, until Kiki’s husband gets other ideas about the arrangement with a little help from a presence only Emme can see. All Emme’s spiritual upbringing and gifts kick into high gear. Unfortunately, she finds herself homeless and hungry in an all-night Walgreens. As she puts her faith in God and listens to His prompting, she comes face-to-face with Francis, a foine young man who has deep ties to the Catholic Church. However, Walgreens proves to be a place for nightly action, as she spots another being from the underworld. She and Francis put their collective spiritual powers together to send this demon packing. Unfortunately, after all that work, Emme still faces some dire circumstances. God works through all those situations to place Emme on a path to maximize her gift. Francis senses her gift may be just what “The Work” needs, so he makes plans to try to get her on his team. Claudia Mair Burney writes a very brazen novel that takes your breath in the first few pages and holds you captive until the end. THE EXORSISTAH is the first book in this series about a young, spirited, street-smart demon-hunter. Burney keeps it real in both action and dialogue, complete with the urban dialect of the day. Burney's character development and writing style is so intuitive, you can literally visualize Emme kicking the butt of some demon force in a pair of Prada boots with razor sharp stiletto heels. She is humorous and loveable at the same time. Even though the action is intense at times, a few spiritual lessons are also addressed. THE EXORSISTAH really brings home Ephesians 6:10, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age…” Although classified as young adult fiction, THE EXORSISTAH will intrigue many adults as well.
