If you like having a paranormal series to keep up with (I find juggling a lot of different serials helps to avoid the tedious waiting for new releases), this is one to add to the shelf. The Accidental Demon Slayer follows a character who, on the day of her 30th b-day, finds out she has a supernatural heritage that cannot be ignored (more pointedly, outside influences refuse to let her ignore it). The book follows Lizzie as she learns the ropes of demon slaying, as well as how to handle her talking terrier and other sudden supernatural issues.

The book reads deceptively fast...almost as if you're watching a movie - situations arise quickly and without warning, only for them to be dealt with and fade away equally fast. I felt that this book could have used a little more character development (the progression going from doubtful cynic to hapless believer to a hero was a little too quick a transition for me).

Overall, if you're looking for a couple hours of escape (beach read, etc.) this is a nice book to pick up. ( )

Sometimes you just need a laugh - Angie Fox understands this. So many paranormal romances have somber tones and, despite the happy endings, they can leave the reader feeling as if they just stepped off an emotional rollercoaster.

The Accidental Demon Slayer is the antithesis of such novels. It's in the same vein and MaryJanice Davidson and Dakota Cassidy novels; nothing but hijinxs all around.

All the requisite ingredients for a good time are there: a fun heroine, a sexy hero, kooky sidekicks and even a talking dog. What makes this one stand out from similar books is the brand of humor that Fox employs. It's often snarky and, at times, raunchy...

Fast, Funny read with a very new unique look to a paranormal/romance, I like her characters and the biker grandma, not to mention a hunky male lead. I would say grab this and the next one and read them. ( )

I am all for a comedy, with some danger and romance involved. This book had it all. Poor Lizzie just wanted to live her life as a Preschool teacher and then go out with some friends for her birthday, but once Gertie (her grandmother) shows up - the parties off and she almost gets killed by a toilet sitting demon. What is going on? This stuff can't be happening. Now her world has been turned upside down and now there are witches, demons, werewolves, and a flying griffin. Boy oh boy, I felt for her!

Angie Fox has a style of writing that grabs you hook, line and sinker. Right from the first few pages I knew right away that I was going to fall in love with this book. Her characters are real, vivid and flawed in their own little ways. Including the bad guys, who seem to think so much of themselves. But this spun tale of good versus evil is a classic and then you mix in a would-be slayer who can't throw her stars without almost killing someone. Who's in more danger here - the demons or Lizzie? But she has the help of the Red Skulls and some mercenary werewolves until Rex kills the Alpha. But we won't go into that too much because then I'd be practically telling you the whole story and you won't need to read it!

The other characters were fabulous. Grandma Gertie the Harley riding witch, Ant Eater, Dimitri, the sexy griffin man, and of course, who could forget, Pirate, her now talking terrier. Boy, he is just too funny! I fell in love with all of the characters and am really looking forward to reading more!

Angie Fox is right up there on the pedestal along with other comedic writers that I find so fascinating - Dakota Cassidy, Chris Moore, and MaryJanice Davidson! I'll be keeping an eye on this author so I can grab more of her books! ( )

I was recommended this by someone who hasn't always given the best advice. But I loved this so much, fun, fast and full of action. I really can't wait for the next in the series. Lizzie and Pirate are just such a funky du. ( )
