Kris Neri Author Of Magical Alienation

From my list on magic to make you feel happy and even enchanted.

Why am I passionate about this?

Having heard Celtic legends as a kid made me want to either become a leprechaun or a goddess with the power to remake the worldā€™s worst parts. Although I didnā€™t achieve either, I write about both, as well as other quirky people who march to the rhythm of delightfully offbeat drummers. I so adore eccentric people and jaunty environments, Iā€™ve built a career out of writing them. That has allowed me to capture the sassy voice of the daughter of madcap Hollywood stars, the outrageous garments worn by a cheerfully fake psychic, and the journey of a brokenhearted chef who canā€™t quote an adage normally to save her life.

Kris Neri Why did Kris love this book?

Although I donā€™t usually read dark fantasy, Charlotte and the Demons has become one of my favorite books.

Young Charlotteā€™s father is an abusive alcoholic, causing his kidsā€™ lives to fall apart. Suddenly, the floor of Charlotteā€™s closet opens into a gateway to hell. Charlotteā€™s soon meeting the underworldā€™s worst baddies. She crushes on Ezequiel, a clerk who does secretarial work for the Old Guy, the Prince of Darkness who seems to have lost control over his underworld.

A plot that turns in the most unexpected ways, the richness of the humor, and the engaging voices of an imaginative range of characters make this novel creative and unique. I wasnā€™t sure how it would end, but the last chapter absolutely made my heart fill with joy. Youā€™ll love it.
