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. Who knew that demon slaying could be so much fun! Ms. Fox's first novel is a paranormal surprise filled with hilariuos humor, sexy men, creative creatures and magical surprises. When Lizzie Brown turned 30 she never thought she would be batteling demons in her bathroom but after a surprise visit from her long lost grandmother lizzie soon learns that she is a demon slayer and now she has to save the world. Not at all what a pre-school teacher thought her 30th birthday party was going to be like! 0.061 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review

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...
