*Angie Fox ~ The Accidental Demon Slayer*

Straight-laced preschool teacher, Lizzie Brown, never lies, never cusses, and doesn’t really care much for surprises. When her long lost Grandma Gertie shows up on her doorstep on a neon pink Harley Davidson wearing a “Kiss My Asphalt” t-shirt and hauling a carpet bag full of Smuckers jars filled with road kill magic, Lizzie doesn’t think her life could get any stranger. That is, until her hyper-active terrier starts talking and an ancient demon decides to kill her from his perch on the back of her toilet.

Lizzie learns she’s a demon slayer, fated to square off with the devil’s top minion in, oh about two weeks. Sadly, she’s untrained, unfit and under attack. Grandma’s gang of seventy-something biker witches promises to whip Lizzie into shape in no time, as long as she joins them out on the road. But Lizzie wants nothing to do with all this craziness. She simply wants her normal life back. When she accidentally botches the spell meant to protect her, she only has one choice – trust the utterly delicious but secretive man who claims to be her protector.

Dimitri Kallinikos has had enough. Cursed by a demon centuries ago, his formerly prominent clan has dwindled down to himself and his younger twin sisters, both of whom are now in the coma that precedes certain death. To break the curse, he must kill the demon behind it. Dimitri needs a slayer. At long last, he’s found Lizzie. But how do you talk a girl you’ve never met into going straight to Hell? Lie (and hope she forgives you). Dimitri decides to pass himself off as Lizzie’s fated protector in order to gain her trust and guide her towards this crucial mission. But will his choice to deceive her cost them their lives, or simply their hearts?

~*~My Review~*~

What first drew me to this book was the name and cute cover, however the summary I read for it (a different one than the one I put above) kind of threw me off the book. It sounded a bit too cheesy for my tastes, and I thought for sure it would wind up being a disappointment, so I put off getting it for a long time. However that title and that darned cute cover just kept drawing me back until I finally gave in and checked out the first few chapters in Barnes & Noble. I was pleasantly surprised. :) It's not the best story in the world nor is it the most fabulous writing I have ever encountered, however it has a unique storyline and a quirky humor that really appealed to me. I really enjoyed the story, especially it's eccentric characters. I would recommend this book for anyone looks for an entertaining and simple read. This book is honestly hard to describe because true, in many ways it could never compare to the other paranormal series it is quite similar to, however it has some very unique qualities about it that are very intriguing and entertaining. And I loved that it wasn't a 'serious' series if that makes sense at all. It was an easy read, light humored, and not meant to be emotionally charged. Overall it was cute and quirky and I will definitely read it's sequel.

~*~Excerpts~*~

" 'Yeah, um. In case you haven't noticed, I'm more of an indoor girl.' Not that I was against motorcycles, in theory. But if Grandma thought I was going to hoist my rear end up on the back of her hog, a pothole had knocked something loose in her head.

'Well, Lizzy, the thing is...' she cleared her throat, 'our coven's on the run.'

Oh lordy. 'You think you're a witch?'

'Am a witch, darlin. So was your mother. And if I wasn't such a damned good witch, all hell wouldn't be after us. I don't have time to spell it out for you right now, but let me ask: you own any leather chaps?'

Yeah, hanging right next to my white capri pants. 'No!'

'Well, that bites,' she said. 'Life on the road can chafe your thighs.'

I gulped. She'd better not even think of kidnapping me. That was it. 'Pirate! Watchdog! Attack!' He didn't even have enough courage to whimper. Useless beast. Last time I was buying him Silky Bones Pet-Sicles."
