I do not usually read books like this one but I couldn't pass on humorous book. The review gave me a glimpse of "Supernatural Humor" and I think it's a breath of fresh air that I need.

I read a sample free of this book. I never thought this book such a humor horror book. Back to the title and cover page; "Demon freaks" seem like the story is all about demonic haunted. However, what was I found from your reviewed, this was an awesome book which sounded funny and enjoy to read. I want to read the whole story. By the way, thank for your reviewing!

I enjoy both humor and supernatural novels so this one seemed like I might enjoy it. The sample on Amazon didn't grab my attention like I expected, but I still may get it(when I'm able) and give the book a try as a lot of times they get better further in.

Nice review. This sounds like a well written, fun, and unique supernatural adventure. The band of the Slaughter twins, Meat and Kaitlyn combined with a psycho killer teacher and a demon possessed sword mashed up with laugh out loud humor puts this at the top of my TBR. Congrats to the author on a terrific review!

The sample had me laughing and looks like a great fantasy story. I'll definitely have to check it out and see what it's all about. I'm definitely adding this to my shelf.

Four friends go to a remote place to study and end up spending the night trying to merely survive to say nothing of studying. Funny scary story by the looks of it. Thanks for the review.

I don't think I'll add it to my reading list anytime soon, but in the future, I'll reconsider once I've gotten through most of the books on my currently reading/ PTR. (Cause I have quite a few of them from the school library alone.)
Also, I don't have a job yet, so I would be unable to purchase the book for now.

And the sample feels relatable to myself since I happen to be in high school like the characters of this book. And they write a song about the things they dislike about high school, with the SATs or ACTs (Which I have to agree were not fun to go through).

Also, the book must be pretty good to receive four stars. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

I like when supernatural books don't take themselves too seriously. There should always be a moment to breathe among the excitement and danger. I like the creepy cabin in the woods aspect and of course they have no cellphone reception. I will definitely look into this book in the future.

This is not one of my preferred genres but it does seem like a very humours demon story for those that enjoy this type of book.

‪Looks like a great YA story. My kids and I like supernatural humor. And I love a book that will make me laugh out loud as you did. Great review. Thanks!

Thank you for a great review of Demon Freaks. The sample is funny and sets the stage for the rest of the book. Yo know the teacher would be involved because of his description, ginger hair, goatee, black eyebrows and black mustache. Also, he murmurs "everything is going to end soon." A muawwwa should of been added. I will add this book to my TBR list. Thank you J.R.R.R. Hardison.

An overall fair review of Demon Freaks that contain multiple spoiler alerts. And, if I had read passed the obvious, what happens next samples pages, I would probably rate the book 2/4 stars, based upon Mr. Brom's abusive tone and obvious threat as well as the "cataclysmic lightning storm that rolled in". "I believe that there is one God and I do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!" and this this psycho thriller is just not for me! But Best wishes to the author of the #BOTD 👿

I read the sample of this book and was going to pass on it. It did not seem like something that would hold my interest. I am glad I read your review before making my decision. There is a lot more action and adventure than I originally thought. I think I will give this book a chance. Thanks for the great review!
