My full A Warm Place to Call Home: A Demon's Story audiobook review can be found at Audiobook Reviewer. I had the good fortune to have to work some overtime at work, where I listen to a majority of my audio books, and somehow was able to be left unbothered for the entirety of A Warm Place to Call Home: A Demon's Story, only taking my ear buds out to go to the bathroom. We are presented with a story of Fredrick, a demon, that asks us to decide if he is the protagonist or antagonist of this tale. The whole story is presented from his point of view, he only remembers when he started to exist and doesn't know how he came to be or why. Spending much time jumping from person to person to experience different things, upon leaving the bodies the people who once were are left as mere shell. Then he finds Melanie, he is instantly infatuated with and seeks a way to be the focus of her attention, something he can only do with a body, not just any body though, he had to find one that she was already familiar with and preferably already involved with. Thus Fredrick begins to weave a very tangled web of deceit, love and loss and love again, jealously, a full gamut of feelings and emotions. Not sure if it means that there is something wrong with me but I was able to identify and relate to Fredrick on so may different levels, I developed my own feelings for Melanie, I laughed out loud, cried on the inside, got angry and felt sympathy, therefore a complete success for Siemsen becuase being able to play with so many of my emotions is not easy. A Warm Place to Call Home: A Demon's Story is a highly imaginative unique paranormal love story that was compelling enough to keep me interested and engaged, while there were a few areas that lingered too long, I was not disappointed at all. As for Fredrick's question, protagonist or antagonist, I have my answer what is yours? Audiobook provided for review by the publisher. A Warm Place to Call Home by Michael Siemsen is an interesting book, to say the least. It's the tale of a demon who wants to be human. Live a human life. Have human experiences. The only way he can do this is to inhabit a person's body essentially wiping out a life. When he meets the girl he wants to 'settle down' with things get a little topsy-turvy. This book is a first-person narrative. I liked that because it felt as if Fredrick, the demon, was sitting across from me telling me his life story. And his life has not been boring. As Fredrick is experiencing new emotions, new problems, we, the reader, are along for the ride. Siemsen throws a few curve balls into the story that leaves you saying, "Wait! What just happened?" But in the end you're hooked on Fredrick, and want him to succeed in his endeavors. Overall it's a good read. This book has some mature content in it, so it wouldn't be suitable for younger audiences.

Frederick is a demon. Born in Maryland in the early 1980's, he hasn't a clue where he came from or why, but feels an irresistible desire to occupy a human body. Once inside, he finds the previous occupants' consciousness and memories forever erased, an inevitable side effect that gives Frederick pause when switching bodies, but not so much as to truly halt his ongoing enjoyment of human lives. In various bodies, he travels the world for decades--aimless--sampling cultures and experiencing life from the points of view of males, females, young, old, rich, poor. Now, Frederick has an urge to return to his roots in America, explore the mystery of his origin, find someone to love, and settle down for a while. In his hometown, his mission bears fruit much faster than he expected, as person after person presents themselves, and following his impulses, he is lead directly to love, tragedy, answers, and the humanity he never knew he wanted.

It's too fresh and I don't know what to say, just that it's good. ( )
