Jaspar Van Arsdale doesn't understand the changes going on with his friend Q. He seems to be preoccupied with with helping Jaspar to lose his virginity, which isn't all that unusual for teenage boys, but Q's insistence has a dark, taunting quality and an urgency that surprises Jaspar. It isn't until after the car accident caused by Q, which leaves Q unscathed, that Jaspar's like is completely changed. He died in the crash, but he inexplicably finds himself transported into the body of another classmate named Jarhead and has almost complete control over him. Struggling to discover what happened, he soon finds himself being hunted by a demon named Leo and a demon hunter named Ileana. One wants to show him the wonders of his new existence; the other would like nothing more than to bring him to a final end.

"Body Surfing" is a sexually charged tale of demons and creation. Or, the creation of demons. From Leo, the story provides an interesting story of what it's like to live forever -- the many pleasures both sexual and violent, and the loneliness that comes with it. Leo's existence consists of jumping from body to body, wreaking havoc in whatever body he commandeers, but deep down he wants to share this with someone, so he breaks one of his groups own laws and creates a demon out of Jaspar. From Jaspar, the story focuses on what he should do now that he has these amazing powers. Should be follow along with Leo and become a full-fledged demon, or should he put an end to it before things get too out of hand? I highly recommend reading it to find out. ( )
