One day a demon decides he is going to take a break from hell. Finding a nice seventeen year old boy who is about to get run over means he can possess the body. Taking over Shaun's body also means taking over his life. So the demon finds himself having to act and behave like a teenager. Shaun's mother, brother and best friend all know something has changed but can't understand why. All the demon is concerned about is living his experience to the full because he knows that at some point he is going to have to return to hell.

This young adult story was wonderfully written. The whole tale was told from the demons perspective and it was fun to read about all the teenage feelings he had to deal with as well as the new experiences of being human. It was extremely interesting to see how the demon behaved. While one would expect chaos and destruction the demon actually tried to build bridges and change peoples lives.

Repossessed was fun, interesting and very much worth reading. I finished this in two sittings and will be looking up this author to see what else A.M Jenkins has on offer.
