Do you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Meet Evie the Demon Hunter. This is a really cool "world", which is our world now but there's demons and we don't know it. But the Lebriga Corporation does, and that's why, for centuries, they've found and trained demon hunters and their handlers. The handlers are the ones who concoct potions, weapons, and all sorts of fun goodies for the hunters to go out and get the baddies.

One of my favorite parts of this world is the tattoos. Tats are not just tats; the...more

This book was given to me to read by Omnific Publishing. And let me say, thank you, thank you, thank you. This book wasn't even on my radar and I'm sure glad it popped up!

I really enjoyed this book. Evelyn is a headstrong, confident, plays-by-her-own-rules, bad-ass right up there with the likes of Miss Cat Crawford herself! I loved watching her walls crumble little by little.

The story telling was amazing, the chemistry between all the characters was fantastic and there were quite a few people...more

“Be swift, be strong”

Patricia Leever does it again in her second novel, Divinity, creating yet another strong heroine in 135-year-old demon hunter Evelyn Brighton.

Who knew Los Angeles has so many demons running around? I sure didn't. In this story, they are everywhere, living amongst the humans. Evelyn (who also goes by Evie, Ev, and E) works for the Lebriga Corporation. A fully-loaded, state-of-the-art mansion off of Mulholland serves as the Los Angeles branch of Lebr...more

I wish I could give this book 3.5 stars. It was *almost* really good. Interesting concept, interesting (and kickass) characters, the writing was just a little clumsy. I suspect this author will be much better a few books down the line...

Our Heroine and Our Hero are both demon hunters. She's a century-old hardened pro, he's a wet-behind-the-ears rookie assigned to her. She is reluctant to open her heart, but the physical attraction is immediate and obvious.

I think if the author works a little mor...more

3.5 out of 5 Stars

Divinity takes place in modern-day Los Angeles, where the demons come out to play even in broad daylight! No one is safe! Demon hunter, Evelyn Brighton, works hard to focus on her responsibility; she’s a strongly independent woman, who’s been working for Lebriga Corporation for a long time and knows what it takes to get the job done. Daniel is a fresh, newbie who from Nevada and comes to Lebriga for a chance to learn. When he meets his new trainer, Eve, he likes what he sees.

2.5 stars

Given that I don't especially care for this genre (urban fantasy), I liked this book more than I thought I would. Friends keep trying to get me to like UF (and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Laurell K. Hamilton), probably because there are strong women leads and occasional vampires. This one had no vamps. Lots of just about everything else, though, of the demonic sort.

I wouldn't call the characters or story unique, but the book was kinda interesting. I think the characters could have been...more

Four Stars: A fast, electric thrill ride!

Evie engages the cloaking spell and enters into the predator's lair. She is a seasoned demon hunter bent on taking down a troll who is killing young teenage girls. A quick bloody battle ensues, but Evie with her skill, magical tattoos and incantations along with her superior Divinity sword are victorious. Evie is part of an elite demon hunting team. Her calling is to flush out all the evil creatures in the world that only she and the other hunters and han...more

First Thought when Finished: Divinity by Patricia Leever was an interesting twist on the standard Angel Urban Fantasy read. The last quarter of the story will have you counting down to the next installment.

What I Thought of the Story: Divinity is the first book in a new series (I think) by Patricia Leever. The story takes place in LA and follows a group of Hunters that keep us safe from Demons. These Demons are...more

If you are tired of angel/demon PNR books, this might be the one that you will enjoy. It has that aspect, but doesn't really deal with the angel aspect too much. In fact, the main characters are human; they are magical, but human. They do deal with demons. Lots of them. But they don't take over the story.

It's also more of a UF ride than a PNR one. However, those that don't want a read without romance should not despair. There is romance. It's between Evelyn a broken, but tough woman and Daniel t...more

I'd say if anything this was an 'interesting' read. I didn't find it boring but I didn't absolutely adore it. I found that it was in the middle. It was well written and edited to. I can only assume that this will turn into or is the start of a series. I can only hope it keeps getting better.

Really enjoyed it!! Another great story that has tough, independent women! I loved there was a such a realistic love story.. all while there are demons that need to be taken down by this power couple! ;) Can't wait for part 2!!!

Does anyone else think this sounds a lot like the City of Bones? No one? Okay.

Well, I guess ripping off an already ripping-off book is fair...I think.
