Mara Demonslayer: Book One of The Demonslayers

Night of the Living Demon Slayer

---

Now I'm a Vampyre. Yes, we exist whether we want to or not. However, I have to admit, the perks aren't bad. My girls no longer jiggle, my ass is higher than a kite, and the latest Prada keeps finding its way to my wardrobe. Defending mermaids from some vicious sea hags is going to cut into my pilfering time. I was a top-notch Were agent for the secret paranormal Council and happily living in Chicago, where I had everything I needed - a gym membership, season tickets to the Cubs, and Dwayne - my gay Vampyre best friend.

Going back now would mean facing the reason I'd left, and I'd rather chew my own paw off than deal with Hank. Hank the Tank Wilson was the six-foot-three, obnoxious, egotistical, perfect-assed, best-sex-of-my-life Werewolf who cheated on me and broke my heart. When town troublemaker, Louella Drummond, drops dead in front of Isolde Quinn's pet store just minutes after threatening both Issy and her cousin Graeme, the police in the small lakeside town of Silver Hollow assume it's from natural causes. Until it's discovered that Louella was murdered.

Not just any murder, though. Murder by paranormal means. Dark magic that could only have been performed by a powerful witch. Being an undercover poison taster for the rich and famous might sound glamorous, but for Isobel Avery it means stomaching bad clients and even worse coffee. The one side of the job that lives up to expectations is the money. Which is just as well for Izzy, since she needs an awful lot of it. Who knew when she made a lifelong commitment to a man that it would be one year living with him and the rest of her life paying for it? After seeing her maybe-mobster boss murder a guy, Delaney James assumes a new identity and pretends to be a mail order bride.

She finds her groom-to-be living in a town that celebrates Halloween every day. But not as weird as what she doesn't know. Her groom-to-be is a year-old vampire. Released from the magic pokey and paroled with limited power is enough to make any witch grumpy. However, if you throw in a recently resurrected cat, a lime-green Kia, and a sexy egotistical werewolf, it's enough to make a gal fly off the edge. Not to mention a mission So here I sit in Asscrack, West Virginia, trying to figure out how to complete my mysterious mission before All Hallows Eve when I'll get turned into a mortal.

Meteorologist Zoe Parker put Everlasting in her rearview mirror as soon as she had her college degree in hand. But when Sapphire, her eccentric great-aunt, takes a tumble down the stairs in her lighthouse home, Zoe returns to the tiny fishing hamlet to look after her. Zoe has barely crossed the county line when strange things start happening with the weather, and she discovers Sapphire's fall was no accident.

Someone is searching the lighthouse, but Sapphire has no idea what they're looking for. What she doesn't need is romantic entanglements. That's why Jack Harker's appearance in her life is such a conundrum. Jack Harker has a haunted past and all he wants is peace and quiet.

He's left a life of violence and despair behind for the comforts of home and country. He might find peace in Ivy's presence, but he'll never find quiet. All three are crashed in the Georgia woods, lost on a world where extraterrestrials are the stuff of science fiction. Blending into the human world is doable, if dangerous.

But what if the locals are far from human themselves, with secrets of their own? New York Times best-selling series! Demon slaying powers should come with an instruction book Why does a new hair dryer have a twelve-page how-to manual, but when it comes to ancient demon-fighting hocus-pocus, my biker witch granny gives me just half a dozen switch stars and a rah-rah speech?

Oh, and a talking terrier, but that's another story. It's not like my job as a preschool teacher prepared me for this kind of thing. So I've decided to write my own manual: The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers , because no one tells me anything. Dimitri, my "protector," may be one stud of a shape-shifting griffin, but he always thinks he can handle everything by himself. Only he's no match for the soul-stealing succubi taking over Las Vegas. If I can't figure out how to save him - and Sin City - there'll be hell to pay.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers to be better than the print version?

It was not better than the print version- just different. She brings Lizzie to life. I had read the print book first and going through the story again with someone acting out the characters was amazing. Tavia really makes you believe that she is Lizzie and that it's all real. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I could only devote an hour or two at a time. I love Angie Fox's books and to now have the option to get them on Audible is great.

It's fun to have the story brought to life. There's nothing like laughing out loud in your car while listening to it and having everyone around you wonder what you are listening to. This series with Lizzie, Grandma, Dimitri, and Pirate is fantastic. I have been a fan for years. This is Book 2 and it takes newly minted demon slayer Lizzie to Vegas to battle some succubi, save her love Dimitri, pass her slayer test, and hopefully not get killed in the process. It is a fun read from beginning to end. I could picture everything like I was in a movie. Which scene was your favorite? I love it when grandma puts Lizzie in her place.

The Accidental Demon Slayer

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? He has no concept of pop culture either, which we learn when Lizzie quotes Yoda. As I said, Pirate is a favorite character of mine. The little dog talks nonstop and has some really funny lines in this series.

Here, he finds a dragon egg.

He names if Flappy. I feel she does a great job with the crazy biker gang voices, not to mention Pirate, the terrier. Then when you add in the calm and collected griffins. Then there is Lizzie and here altered swear words. I really love her pacing and how it varies a lot depending on the scene.

The biker witches in this book were a hoot, although I had a bit of a problem coming to terms with older women, witches, Harleys and cross-continental magical disasters. It was a fun read though, and even though the story itself was predictable who the villain was, and why, was obvious to me on meeting said villain for the first time it was a fun read.

I enjoyed the lighthearted take on griffins, although it seemed as if Dimitri was a little too perfect, too self-sacrificing and too noble to be The biker witches in this book were a hoot, although I had a bit of a problem coming to terms with older women, witches, Harleys and cross-continental magical disasters. I enjoyed the lighthearted take on griffins, although it seemed as if Dimitri was a little too perfect, too self-sacrificing and too noble to be real. Tall, bronze, buff, and gorgeous.

I think with all the syrup oozing from him I would run screaming within a day, but it was fun to read. I liked that Lizzie is insecure, not even able to use the lightest of the blue words, but did want to shake her a little. Some of the issues she had could have been resolved with the application of the logic she adores, but doesn't apparently often use. I loved the teacher from Hell literally and the talking dog with its pet dragon. Fun to read, and even though its part of a series it stands alone, and gains stars just for that, but loses some for the inaneness of the prose.

Keep an eye on the lovely lady. And enjoy the story. Aug 25, Jo rated it really liked it Shelves: Aaaaaand that's what I'm talking about! I absolutely loved the first book in this series, and then was terribly disappointed by the second. This third book is back to the quality and standard I enjoyed in the beginning. In this story, Lizzie heads off to Greece to meet her boyfriend's family. Dmitri, the sexy shape-shifting Griffin, is back to being in fine form this time around, and I fell in love with him all over again.

He's every bit as strong and powerful as Lizzie, but she manages to ho Aaaaaand that's what I'm talking about! He's every bit as strong and powerful as Lizzie, but she manages to hold her own and not let him overpower her in the kick-ass or magical stakes. At least, not without a fight! Dmitri particularly shone in this book because we were treated to a different side of his personality: Some of Lizzie's mistakes came back to haunt her in this book, and there were plenty of scenes with Pirate the Wonderdog and the Biker Witches to amp up the humour value. Really, the only reason this didn't get a 5 star rating is because the plotline is quite predictable.

I'd worked out who the "bad guy" was and their reasons from the first time they were introduced. But even with that minor fault, the book was great fun. May 12, Alexia Chantel rated it really liked it. Dark, sexy, Greek, shape-shifting griffin. He really stole the show, though admittedly it was close because Lizzie can certainly hold her own and goes up against some big bad stuff. But seeing how Dimitri treats his family, his honor, and his deep feelings for Lizzie will just melt you on the spot.

This is a first Fox novel experience, and it was an amazing one. Now the first tw Dark, sexy, Greek, shape-shifting griffin. Now the first two books are calling. How can you say no to that when you are guaranteed to laugh, have your heart racing and not all from scary stuff , and meet great characters. A Tale of Two Demon Slayers is so funny and action packed you will whip right through it in no time.

Oh and Dimitri has a secret to tell Lizzie that could spell disaster literally for the world and puts Lizzie in grave danger but I wont tell you about that because I really thing you should read it instead you won't be disappointed. Lots of plot twists and an epic battle at the end - same great writing, onto the next installment! Jan 04, Delilah Stephans rated it really liked it. So when it was time to up the ante and read books in I went searching and what do you know - there were two more books.

I love Lizzie the pre-school teacher who still says H-E- double hockey sticks the demon slayer. Her insecurity in her ability to do the job is totally endearing Though admittedly sometimes you do want to smack her upside the head. Like in this book when she decides to break-up with Dimitri!

Definitely a slap upside the back of the head moment. I loved that we learned more about Dimitri and his sisters. I also loved that I totally had the wrong baddie in mind. Glad it wasn't the cliche and that's all I'm saying. But if you like your UF with humor - definitely give the series a try Jun 06, Karen Smith rated it liked it. I picked this book up at a writer's conference. I have not read any other in the series and, yet I figured out the ending about halfway through.

Sometimes, this is not a problem, especially if I am interested in the character and her journey, but Lizzie hasn't grabbed me the way I would like. She seems to have an interesting background but, in first person, she can become irritating. She seemed to come close to addressing important issues several times i.

Dimitri is too perfect, I mean, all heroes have issues, right. The biker witches are a scream and Dimitri's sisters have serious potential. I will probably read other books in this series to see if it digs deeper. Sep 04, Brandy rated it really liked it Shelves: Ok this is actually getting better.

These books are funny and entertaining. I just love Pirate. I really like that we are now learning more and more about Demetri and his family. His sisters are fun and I think that Miss Slayer and her biker witches will fit right into the family. But first they must find who stole some of her power and who is trying to Griffin power for themselves. They have also created their very own de Ok this is actually getting better. They have also created their very own demon slayer! But good will win out over evil if pirate and his little dragon pet have anything to say about it.

Apr 13, Susan Blexrud rated it liked it. I liked this book and the world Angie Fox created. It starts with great promise, and the love relationship is believable. Dimitri is a great hero. But I found the Las Vegas locations difficult to conjure, and hence, they drew me out of the book's believability.

Japanese folklore

That said, it's still an enjoyable read with endearing characters. And Pirate is terrific! I love this series. Lizzie is an accidental demon slayer. She is still learning how to use her powers and to trust in herself. I love her talking dog, Pirate. I really enjoyed the part where Pirate wanted to keep the baby dragon as a pet.

I could just picture the dog leading the dragon around on a leash- LOL. I am definitely looking forward to the next book. Aug 24, Shaine rated it really liked it. I'm not good at reviews I just know what I like and I like this series! I hope it never ends!! The book has action, romance and makes me laugh.

I can't wait til the next one. I think this one was my favorite because Lizzie makes bigger strides into learning about herself and the acceptance of what her role in life is. May 06, Linda rated it really liked it Shelves: It may have been the setting or the new players, but aside from Lizzy, I loved this one. Most likely because for a good part of the book, the focus was on Dimitri and getting to know him better and see him more in his element.

Lizzy did learn quite a bit about herself too and how she needs to have a little more faith in her relationship with him and not that everything is always about her. Sure, a good portion of the story is, but those secondary characters are what make this series. If not for It may have been the setting or the new players, but aside from Lizzy, I loved this one.

If not for the crazy, but loyal group of biker witches, pets that entertain, and boyfriends with the patience of a saint, her insecurity and lack of commitment would drive me crazy before I even got to the end of the book. And just when I think she may start to get it, the woman backslides. Like others, I did guess early on who the villain was, but I liked how the story progressed. And although I don't like triangles, I did like Amara. She truly did embody someone who was loyal and comfortable with who she was and what she could do. I get that Lizzy is still very new at being a slayer, but she didn't come across as someone who fails at things and yet she constantly fought embracing and learning to be that slayer.

Not to mention her struggle with really relying on those who support her. So yes, that missing one star is because Lizzy drives me mad, but overall, I did enjoy this one. Despite her ongoing tendency to over think and over analyze everything Lizzie manages to learn more demon slayer techniques and just like the first two books her new found biker witch family manage to create chaos while using their magical skills to defeat evil.

Little stinker also acquires his own pet to share the limelight with. Still fun reading but am taking a break from Demon Slaying to start a new Vampire trilogy that have on my overabundant to-be-read shelves. Jul 01, Krystyna rated it it was amazing. Fighting yourself should not be physically possible Wow!

Meeting the family is bad enough but finding out that someone has created an evil doppelganger of yourself is really not even on the radar. Fighting yourself just seems wrong. Will they be able to vanquish the "twin".

Really fantastic series and a highly recommended one. Jul 19, Jeannie rated it it was amazing. An exceptional writing where the characters came to life. As I read from one book to the next the author was able to seamlessly move each part of the storyline to perfection. I highly recommend this book. Great story I always enjoy a Angie Fox book. I like all of the quirky characters. I find myself smiling if not laughing throughout the books. I'm looking forward to more demon slayer stories.
