What can I say about Maureen Child's latest, "Bedeviled"? Well, it reminded me an awful lot of her 'Fiend' series for one...except with Fae instead of demons. It still entertained and amused me, even though I didn't get any hot sex included (YET), I'm still hopeful that the next book will see our heroine involved with her sexy Fae knight.
Maggie already has enough on her plate. She still has a bunch of business windows to get painted for the holiday season and she's watching her niece whose mothe...more

This book is great!! I really like this author, and this book hit the mark!! Maggie Donovan Is the heroine in this story and we get a good idea what she's made of right of the bat when she has to kick the crap out of this "thing" that is eating her ex-boyfriend. And she does just not all clean and tidy like you see in the movies. No she killed it, but just barely. And it wasn't pretty. Then she gets the hell out of dodge and just when she thinks she can go full blown freak out, she gets home to...more

Have you ever read a book where one character was trying to tell another character something REALLY important but could never get the information out of their mouth due to interruptions, etc.? Well, that was happening so repetitively in the beginning of this book that I began yelling at the heroine, Maggie Donovan! Of course, in the next sentence, Maggie begins yelling as well; she was just as frustrated as I was. So I kept reading.

This is apparently the first in a [at least:] two book series. It entertains but is not a keeper. If you read her Fiends series - it has much the same feel. I don't like the fact that it basically has a cliff hanger ending [a personal hangup of mine, delayed gratification is annoying:]. The characters are enjoyable but I thought a touch overdrawn - Maggie spent a lot of time acting like it would all go away if she ignored it and Culhane did a lot of looming while doing his 'mighty Fae warrior kn...more
The book is about a girl who is the "chosen one" to fight the Faery queen to help save this Fae (fairy warrior). A little weird. I'm not to into the whole fairy world, but I'm giving it a try. Ok! So now that I finished the book I can say that it was ok. Not the best book, but it is a love story with a twist. I guess I will have to read the next book to see what happens between her and the fairy warrior.
While reading this book, I realized that the plot is very similar to that of MaryJanice Davidson's Undead series. Still, just because the storyline is wholly original, it doesn't mean the book was bad. In face, it was quite the opposite. Maureen Child is a very gifted author whose books I cannot wait to read more of.
I didnt finish book. I know that I should try and the more I tried the more I just felt like it was a waste of time. The story itself is ok. But more than anything I just found it annoying. Maggie just got on my nerves and her love interest was just kinda boring for me.
Okay overall, but seems hard to take "seriously" when she finds her soon-to-be-ex boyfriend being eaten by a demon, and it's just kind of blip that's mentioned off and on.

I didn't know that I liked my paranormal romances spiced up with humor until I read this! It was so entertaining!
This book was just a lot of fun. Good plot line...Fun characters. Just a good, fast, interesting read.

Humorously entertaining. Great plot. A to be continued. Love some of the funny lines. "She clung to him like saran wrap on a plate of Christmas cookies."

Fairy and Fae stories just are not as good as Vampires, mediums, and the like.
