Taming Demons for Beginners by Annette Marie
5.0
With a title like this, I bought before I even thought about it. I like the book cover, too. And the main character is so different. Robin is the librarian-wannabee. She loves books. She is small and unremarkable. She also constantly pushes up her glasses...been there! And she reads self-help novels to try and get a backbone when talking to her uncle. With all the smart-alec, almost independent women, it is refreshing to follow someone who is the complete opposite.
Robin has a problem: her mother and father died, and her inheritance is completely controlled by her uncle. She has seen $0 of it, and is missing a tome handed down generation-to-generation. Robin suspects her uncle has it, and she is willing to even visit the library in the basement to search for it. But there is a summoning circle with a demon down there. So how does she deal with it? Cookies. Yep, you gotta read further to understand, but I laughed over and over again, disturbing my husband's tv watching.
I love a great mix of comedy, action, and romance, and this is as good as A&E Kirk's Demon novels. This demon, however, is better. Better in that it matches what Kim Harrison did for her demon: he does not understand human morality; but he has his own. He interprets things his way. He uses deals in order to interact with humans. I have been searching for a novel like this!
I cannot wait to see if there is a romance, but this is probably the best of this universe so far. You don't have to read the prior series, since I couldn't remember it. You will love it.
