Wild Ride by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer

In ten words or less: Demons inhabit Ohio amusement park; everyone's family has dark secrets.

Review: Mary Alice Brannigan is restoring an amusement park in Ohio, but little does she know that it's a prison for the five most powerful demons in history. Strange things keep happening, though--the giant clown statue is found across the park, destroyed; furtive strangers appear at the ice cream parlor every day; and some of the park's old-time employees are discovered dead.

While there is the usual quotient of humor in this novel, the romance takes a back seat to the demon battling. And a dizzying cast of demons there is--big dragon demons, demons trapped in a fortune telling booth, and little demons that can be trapped in Tupperware containers.

Why bother? There's less romance here than we've come to expect from Jennifer Crusie, but there's plenty of fun, and mind-boggling demons of every size and shape. Readers who like a little romance with the supernatural will be please, but those with a phobia of giant, possessed clowns should take a pass.
