Force of Chaos by Lin Senchaid

The synopsis:

Incarnation bestows free will and the Antichrist is waging a teenage rebellion!
Lucas doesn't want to grow up to be like his father. What teenager does? But for Lucas it's not the same because his father is the devil himself and Lucifer expects his incarnated son to embrace his destiny as the Antichrist. Lucas has other ideas. A California high school is the perfect environment for an adolescent boy with special abilities to play down being 'different' and seek friends, rather than followers, but what teenager could resist using his powers to get to class on time or deal with the school bully? When a local group of self-styled Satanists kidnap the girl he loves, how far will Lucas be willing to go to save her from the very people who seek to enlist his aid

The Review

This one is a different sort of Fantasy. Sort of a coming of age story that addresses the topic of free will.

The antichrist, Lucas, is 15 years old and going to high school in California (where else?). Like most kids his age, he really just wants to fit in but he's attracted some offbeat friends that include a couple of guys who remind me of the guys in the movie, Little Nicky and a Goth girl. He's got a crush on a girl with extremely religious parents who don't want their daughter going out with the antichrist, go figure.

Trouble looms when a group of high school Satanists try to recruit Lucas to their coven by kidnapping the girl he likes. While there are some serious issues addressed in the story, there are some hilarious bits as well. All I'm saying is there's a duck.

It's kind of the ultimate anti-hero story where the bad guy is really the good guy despite his father's plans for him. I definitely recommend it.
