4.5 stars! This is a must read. Lizzie's thoughts (internal musings) were a bit confusing at times... There were parts of this novel I hadn't been sure what she had meant. They were just a bit unclear. But the dialogue, the flow of the novel and the characters were hi-freaking-larious and well written. This series may make it into one of my favorites yet.
The Accidental Demon Slayer is the first book in a 5 book series about Lizzie, a preschool teacher, who’s motorcycle riding grandmother shows up at her house and a demon appears on her toilet soon after. Lizzie is suddenly thrust into this world of witches, spells, demons, her dog talks and most importantly demon slayers. Her grandmother is suddenly taken hostage by a powerful demon and Lizzie must quickly learn how she can save her. Oh, and did I mention, Lizzie has the hots for a very good looking shape shifter named Dimetri?
This is the second book that I have read by Angie Fox – I read the second book, The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers first. Both of these books are so much fun. Lizzie has no idea what is happening in her new world and it is hilarious watching her try. Her grandmother and her group of biker witches are a hoot. The sexual tension between Lizzie and Dimetri is sizzling – exactly what I am looking for in a romance. Fox writes with a witty humor and has a solid understanding of the paranormal world. A delicious break from historical fiction.
The third book in this series, A Tale of Two Demon Slayers, will be released January 26, 2010.

This book was okay. It took almost until the end for me to like it. I would probably read the next one if I was in between books or needed something different to read. Sadly wasn't exactly my cup of tea.
This was quite the excellent read. Only problem I had was that it was over too fast.
Maybe it is just me but I found this book absolutely BORING. I never could find the humor and I felt like I was reading something out of the newspaper in the section where you only read it because you want it to be good. Maybe it is because I have read some really GREAT books lately but there was something about this one that caused me to finish it but left me looking for more.
A little slow, but super cute story.
There were a few moments that kind of dragged on, but all in all it was an awesome read. The characters were great. I laughed almost from beginning to end.

Lizzie's adopted so when her maternal grandmother contacts her, she's excited to meet her ... until she locks her in her bathroom and then a demon attacks (from the toilet?). Turns out she's a demon slayer and her grandmother needs her help - her coven (yup, granny's a witch - a biker witch) needs Lizzie to slay a demon that they've been hiding from for several decades. When she comes into her powers, she also gets a protector - one she has the hots for - who also needs her help but, of course, doesn't just ask for it.
OK, so I wavered in my rating for this one - the beginning had me groaning at how horrid it was. Jars filled with random crap that happen to be spells? Demons coming from the toilet? And an annoying little talking dog? *groan* I had to really think about whether I wanted to keep reading it.
I stuck with it and, thankfully, the fairly interesting story sort of made it readable. Don't get me wrong all those things I listed, still exist and still make it annoying. Granny's biker covenmates are horrible characters, I just didn't like them at all. The dog gets a little less annoying but makes me glad my dog doesn't talk if that's what they're like.
This is not a book for anyone that likes something to sink their teeth into. It's a very light and fluffy read, not to be taken seriously. I've added the 2nd book to my GR TBR list 'cos I really just want to see what happens.

Great book by Angie Fox! I wasn't expecting the male figure to turn out to be what he was. Sorry, no spoilers in my review. Anyway, great character development and love the story line. Of course a well written story from Angie. I can't wait to see what their next adventure will be.
I enjoyed this one and, although I knew it was a paranormal romance (rather than an urban fantasy), so I knew the romance bit would be more obvious than I'd prefer, but it was quite in-my-face. And not really all that well done or convincing.
Having said that, I did enjoy the world building, and I love the idea of a biker Gran!
