When a gentle demon flees his life of slavery for the rough streets of 1980s Los Angeles, a thrift store guitar becomes his refuge, enabling him to weave together music and magic into rich audiovisual tapestries. Cain Pseudomantis quickly finds himself embraced by the city’s rock scene and swept into a new life, along with three magically gifted human band mates. But fame does not heal Cain’s woes. Hounded by an overzealous televangelist and unable to completely shake off the trauma of his past, he finds himself alienated and treated as an object of fear even as his fan base grows. Meanwhile a mysterious serial killer quietly racks up victims throughout the city under cover of the commotion generated by Cain’s presence. The ritualistic nature of the murders casts increasing suspicion on the city’s only resident demon. When Cain and his band mates make a rash attempt to uncover the killer’s identity in order to clear Cain’s name, they discover that the mystery goes much deeper than they thought. Cain must now unravel the web of lies and intrigue he has unwittingly uncovered, or risk losing everything he has gained.

I'm hoping there will be a second book.From the time I started reading I was intrigued with what would happen in the main conflict of the story. I just couldn't put the book down although I had to a few times. Quite a long book, but good. There are quite a few supernatural events to keep the reader reading and wanting more. The characters and the secondary themes were the most intriguing of the book.Ms. Orosz wrote the characters so that you could visualize and hear them speaking. The author didn't give a clean cut between evil and good. Ms. Orosz raising the question of morality within an individuals own beliefs.I do wish the author had given a few more details about the characters previous lives.. What we hear of is their lives now. I feel any time a reader is left wanting more, then that is a good book. I'm hoping there will be a book two. The author gave some really good major themes in the book.1. The idea that not being "normal" is okay.None of us are normal, whatever normal may be.2.Turning creature tropes on their heads.3. The misguided nature of the "Satanic Panic" in the 1980's. To some this was quite a scare and to others it was a possible different approach to "religion".4. Feeling that good and evil aren't always so black and white. Nothing is black and white, there is a gray section in everything. Everyone has good and evil i n them, only to different extents.5. Showing strength in different ways. Strength is not always physical. Strength can be mental and emotional.6. Finding friendship in unexpected places. There are people in all walks of life, in every nook and cranny of the streets that are looking desperately for a friend. You just have to look and then make sure you take time to find out about them before you become too friendly.Life is not just good and evil. There is good, there is evil and there is a combination of the two.I was given a complimentary copy of DEVIL MUSIC from the author, Carly Orosz and Smith Publicity for my view of the book. No other compensation took place.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Page turner with interesting characters By EKL I enjoyed this book very much, and I hope there will be a sequel. From the beginning of first chapter, I wanted to find out what would happen in the main conflict, and I ended up reading it in one afternoon/night/early morning (not always the case with me these days... I love a book that makes me keep reading until 2am!). The plot takes several twists, and there are enough supernatural events to keep fantasy readers happy. The strongest elements of the book for me, though, were the characterization and the bigger themes underlying the story. I came away feeling that I could see and hear several characters, particularly some of the supporting ones (favorite was Patron of Los Angeles). The book does not give a clear-cut definition of good and evil, but rather raises questions of morality within belief systems and on both sides of conflict. It seems to explore the definition and experience of servitude in a context which echoes current events, though it was done through a supernatural character. The only downside was that I was left wanting more details about the main character's backstory. I am glad that I was left wanting more rather than less, and I hope that will be in a 2nd book.I like books that provide a mental escape while exploring questions relevant to human relationships and ethics, and I like to be reminded of a book after I finish reading. This one did all of that. The book reminded me a little of some of Anne Rice's books, but this one all takes place in the present day (well, 1980's... another similarity to the Lestat book). I would read more books by this author.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Sympathy for the Devil By James I received a review copy of this book from Novel Publicity.Put on your favourite heavy metal album, pour yourself a drink and relax into the story of an unlikely hero. Remember when hair bands became a thing, and parents across the country cried out against the evils of ‘devil music’? It’s the early 1980’s and Cain Pseudomantis has just erupted into the LA club scene as lead guitarist of Pseüdomäntis. The kicker? Unlike most of the other rockers, Cain is an actual, real-live devil.Cain has only a few scattered memories of his life before he was enslaved by the sorcerer Mr. Warwick. For ten years he’s been little more than a servant and pet to the sorcerer and his sons, Lance and Steve. Heavy metal music was his escape from the &&&&ty treatment he endured. So when he was sent by his master to Los Angeles on a mission, Cain ends up buying an electric guitar and through no fault of his own, getting signed to Daggerspoint Records.However, not all is well in the City of Angels. A serial killer dubbed ‘The Engineer’ has been targeting young male rockers, torturing them in strange, ritualistic ways before dumping their bodies. The police don’t seem to care, and the frothing televangelist Nathaniel Breen is all too happy to see these ‘satan worshippers’ cut down. When the mystery cuts too close to home, it’s up to Cain and his band mates to find the Engineer before he takes another victim.I greatly enjoyed following Cain’s exploits. Having been sheltered for the past ten years, he has trouble with things like reading and telephones. And unlike what Breen and his ilk would have you believe, he is not evil. Through half-remembered glimpses into his past, we learn that devils are in fact the offspring of fallen angels and humans living in some kind of subterranean alternate world. They lead a paleolithic existence and care nothing for harvesting human souls or anything of the like. Cain is actually a gentle soul, who finds himself deeply troubled by the evils humanity can inflict on each other.The world of ‘Devil Music’ is just a tad off-centre. Sorcerers, gods, and monsters share the city with mortals who would rather look the other way than think too much into it. As more people learn of Cain’s secret, they simply seem to accept that he’s an actual devil and his band mates can do real magic. Steve Warwick gets in trouble in school for cursing his classmates and Mr. Warwick makes a living as a sort of magical mercenary. So while these things happen on the fringes of mainstream society, they are seen as an oddity rather than an impossibility.‘Devil Music’ is a well-crafted mystery with good world-building and interesting characters. There seems to be more in the works from this author and I look forward to it!
