I was hoping for more from this book. I liked the plot, most of the characters and the descriptions. Yet, it took me three times as long to finish it because a lot more things were preferable than sitting down and reading about Lizzie bitch about her circumstances. 1) In the last 30 years she has missed out on getting to know her Fairy Godfather Phil, who is also her Uncle. 2) She had to get a Demon Slayer's learner permit before she could go to Las Vegas to try and save Phil from a Succubus

Second in the Demon Slayer urban fantasy series revolving around Lizzie Brown, a newbie demon slayer desperately trying to learn what she needs to know to stay alive.
<h2>My Take</h2>
The last book, The Accidental Demon Slayer set us up with the primary series characters. This installment provides us with Lizzie's backup crew as well as providing Lizzie herself with a bit more confidence in herself and her friends.

This month I'm reviewing Angie Fox's paranormal romance The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers for Barrie Summy's Book Review Club.
Have you heard of the sophomore slump? For writers, this is what happens when you spend years working on your first novel: learning, preparing, plotting, drafting, revising, and workshopping. You submit it, it sells, and wham! you have a two book contract. Now what? You have to write the second novel in a matter of months. You've never done anything like that More...

My thoughts...Book 2 of Angie Fox's Demon Slaying series takes readers on a magical tour of Sin City. This time she is up against a Succubus who has stolen her Fairy Godfather. All of my favorite characters were there including The Biker Witch gang, Dimitri and little Pirate. I saw a different side of Dimitri in this book, he was very vulnerable. Lizzy definitely grew into her black slayer books and her powers.

Confession: I love paranormal romance – the kick ass heroine who saves the day while being smart and sassy is totally part of why I started Cheeky Reads. In my mind's eye, I picture myself as the girl who can always give the sassy comeback to any quip. In real life? Well, let's just say I try really hard, but my sassy girl tendencies run more to the quirky and comedic.
Which might be why I can't resist paranormal romances that make me laugh out loud. Give me MaryJanice Davidson, Kim H More...

When I first came into the first book, The Accidental Demon Slayer, I was convinced (for some reason) that this would be like Buffy but with an older protagonist. In some ways it is--its humorous, with a female lead who is flying by the seat of her pants and has a support circle that helps to save her often, but in others its not.
In Book 2 Lizzie seems to have things a little more under control and has accepted (if not happily) her genetic birthright. Unfortunately life has a way of More...

Lizzie Brown was just your average (if not slighlty OCD) preschool teacher until her 30th birthday when she found out she was a demon slayer. Since then nothing has been the same. Her sweet hyperactive Jack Russel terrier is now talking to her (or as he says she can finally understand him), her long lost grandmother is a biker witch with a coven of crazy witches at her side and Dimitri who is her "protector" (and love interest) just happens to be a shape shifting griffin.

Synopsis: Accidental demon slayer Lizzie Brown and her grandma's coven of Harley riding biker witches have rolled into Sin City to take out a super-sexy succubus who has her eye on world domination-and worse, Lizzie's man and she also has her sights set on Lizzie's fairy godfather that she had no clue existed. Lizzie also must pass a mandatory licensing test or she will be hunted down and killed.

Lizzie is back in this sequel and it seems she has chosen to embrace her calling and truly become a full-time demon slayer. As the story commences, Lizzie is in quite a bind - firstly, she is fined by the DIP (Department of Intramagical Procedures) for all the ruckus that the first book entailed (The Accidental Demon Slayer). And secondly, she is informed that her uncle has "shacked up" with none other than a demon in Las Vegas. On a permit (no license - since she failed her demon-slay

This was a solid three an a half stars for me. This book had a lot going on. We start out with Lizzie trying to save her Fairy Godfather. While trying to get her Demon Slayer lisence (this whole part could have been left out in my opinion), she learns of a demonic invasion, stays in a magical hotel, has evil numbers appearing on her body, discovers a gateway to hell, all while trying not to have sex with her eye-color changing boyfriend so she can save the planet from the apocolypse.

This book was funny and kept moving at a good pace but I can't say I loved it. I did not read the first book in the series (and it did not feel like you had to) but I am not sure if that made a difference. Lizzie's grandmother cracked me up and I loved her dog, Pirate! Lizzie is one of those perfect good girls who has never gotten a ticket and not even an over due library book fine but she needs to learn how to kick some major butt fast as she tries to rescue her uncle from a succubi.

You know what? This was a good solid 3 stars. I enjoyed it. It was a refreshing change from the last couple of books I read in that it didn't feel like a total life suck.
I read the first book in this series about a year ago and liked it. Not enough to rush right out and buy the next book but enough that I remembered what happened. (Honestly, I often forget a book's plot five minutes after I finish reading.)

The story line was a little reminiscent of Katie MacAlister’s Aisling Grey series, which I LOVE. Our poor girl, gets sucked into a world she didn’t know anything about, her dog starts talking and she has a gorgeous shifter. Fox definitely kept it fun.

This is the second installment in the Demon Slayer series. Lizzie must take on succubi causing trouble in Las Vegas. There is the thrill of continuing on with a character who you enjoyed in a previous book. You can see the growth of where they were before and where they are going now, this is definitely true with Lizzie. She was thrown a lot of curve balls in the first book where her life changed drastically (pre-school teacher to demon slayer).

The story is about Lizzie Brown, who recently found out she was a demon slayer. Lizzie has to travel to Vegas to stop a succubus with plans to unleash Armageddon on earth. Along to help her is a coven of biker witches, her griffin boyfriend, and her dog - Pirate.

This book had an interesting world, characters, and overall concept. The story and plot were fine. The writing itself, the execution, was where it failed. It just wasn't written in a captivating or compelling manner. The main romance, Lizzie/Dimitri, was very boring. It felt like Dimitri was just there as a plot device and afterthought, a cardboard sexy and supporting love interest for the main character. His personality and character felt very underdeveloped and lacking, and his motivations and

The problem with starting a new book is jumping into a series without reading book 1. I didn't have book 1 and wasn't sure if I wanted to buy it, so I read this book blind to the first. It wasn't too bad either. I might go back and read the first one if I find myself without a book, but I have another book to read now. Another freebie I got at RT. Then when I finish with that one, Blood Song should have come in the mail by then!

Lizzie, accompanied by the geriatric biker gang, the Red Skulls, and her griffin boyfriend, Dmitri, is off to Las Vegas to attempt to save her fairy godfather from a succubus. This book is an improvement over the first with a tighter storyline, rounder characterization, and better-written action. I enjoyed the central plot-point of Lizzie attempting to determine what exactly the demon slayer truth "sacrifice yourself" means. However, the sex scenes with Dmitri are still cringe-induc

Lizzie is a beginner demon slayer, still trying to work out what she is doing. Uncle Phil has been seduced by a succubus and is being used as part of a plan for world domination and only Lizzie, the biker witch gang and her griffin boyfriend Dimitri can save the world. Add in a cute talking Jack Russell and you have your plot.

Wacky characters, a zany tale and saving Las Vegas...Lizzie still struggles to understand her newfound powers, but learns to put them to use quickly. Angie Fox again writes a thrilling, fun book with the most memorable cast of biker witches around. One wonders if the next book will bring a reunion with Lizzie's long-lost mother or siblings, which could catapult the family dynamics into Jerry Springer territory. But with a boyfriend like Dimitri, who needs a family?

Still reading it. I read the first one, "Accidental Demon Slayer". It is pretty good. Just something to read for fun. I love her Witches that she travels with. Her hunky boyfriend isn't in this book as much. I am really missing him. I am only about 1/3 through it. I probably just need to be patient to get to the action of the story.
Okay, just finished it. The end was good but I was glad to finish. It was 'okay'.

Not quite up to par with the first book in the series - but only because the humor wasn't quite as prevalent. It's the humor that made the first book so enjoyable.
I must say that Ms. Fox has a way with profanities. Oh Sheboygan! That was funny.
It's a good book and the series has great potential. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Almost TOO much paranormal stuff to try to roll with. Newbie demon slayer (who has to go get her "slayer permit," which is like a driver's permit, only for slaying demons), senior citizen biker witches, a talking dog, a griffin, succubi, fairies...it was good, but sometimes a bit overdone.

I guess some of the novelty of the premise dimmed my review slightly this time around. Plus, the storyline kept the romance from being as big a factor (till later) than in the first one. Honestly, 3.5 stars... I just didn't like it QUITE as much as the first one so felt I had to give it a slightly lower rating. Yet I can't wait for the next one.

Part paranormal thriller, part romance, and part screwball comedy, The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers is a wild and crazy ride, filled with ghostly bellhops, talking terriers, and elderly witches in tight leather pants.
