Facing Demons

Ashley Sanders
Trafford (2011)
ISBN 9781426948015
Reviewed by Kam Aures for Rebecca’s Reads (10/11)

Ashley Sanders’ book “Facing Demons” takes a look at the lives of four different individuals who have all been brought together in a rehabilitation facility under the care of Blake Solomon.  First, there is Rebecca, a child prostitute who had been shuttled from foster home to foster home while growing up.  Second, there is Jason whose family had been gunned down by a gang, leading him to join another gang for revenge.  Thirdly, we have Felicity, a wild, party animal, rich kid.  Finally, there is Matthew, a homeless refugee.

Sanders’ characters were quite interesting. Reading the stories of their pasts was one of the most intriguing parts of the book for me although I also enjoyed watching them take the journey through the rehabilitation process.  Sanders does a great job of connecting the individuals and providing important life lessons to the reader along the way.

“Facing Demons” is author Ashley Sanders’ first published novel.  He has set into motion his plans to write prequels to the story which will take a look at the main characters’ lives before they came into contact with each other.  I look forward to reading the prequels as I found the characters to be fascinating.  I would really enjoy a more in-depth view into their lives and learning more about their pasts.

“Facing Demons” is targeted at a young adult audience and I think that the content of the book is appropriate for that age group.  However, I do also believe that even adults would enjoy the book.  Sanders is definitely an author to watch in the Young Adult genre!
