Tamed down only slightly from her Wolf Tales series, Kate Douglas has created a new series almost as spicy and fun-filled. Douglas' new DemonSlayers series has started off with a bang in Demonfire! The cast of Demonfire consists of a news reporter, a demon that has been tossed out of his previous world, a warrior from another world, a stray dog that seems to know what everyone is saying, and a small sprite that communicates with everyone through their minds individually. News reporter Eddy Marks

Paranormal romance and urban fantasy are my two favorite book genres. I read and I review a lot of them. I've come to realize that I'm usually pretty forgiving of minor issues or singular issues - for example, if it's a decent story but not technically all that well told, I may give it a three stars, but explain in my review what the critical aspects are. I understand and accept that I hold my favorite genres to a higher standard - rightly or wrongly - than other genres and that ultimately I wan

A small town reporter hears stories of strange goings-on in her town, and comes home to find a garden gnome attacking a naked man in her shed. Things definitely started off quick and caught my attention! This strange, sexy man was banished from Abyss, then sent to Earth to help vanquish an influx of demons from the town of Evergreen, effectively saving the world. Yay, sounds great, here we go!

Free Kindle download. The beginning was really promising for me — with only seven days alloted to the hero to save the world from demons, it looked like it was going to be a wild ride — but it slowed down enough in a few places that I lost interest in it for a while and let days and weeks go by before I took up reading the book again. I know fighting demons can be exhausting, but if the fate of the world is at stake and my friends and I are the only ones who can save it, I'm not sure I'd be fine

I contacted author Kate Douglas last month in hopes of getting an ARC of "Demonfire." I didn't know it was already out in stores. She was so kind and sent me a final copy of the novel, a postcard of "Demonfire" and two of her "Wolf Tales" novel bookmarks. Thank you again Kate for all of the items. Kate and I began emailing back and forth, and then she asked to add me on Facebook. I was a bit hesitant due to the fact of my...choice of words and topics I discuss on my

Excellent read - paranormal with an action plot. You've got to love a book that incorporates hunky ex-demons trying to make it into heaven, vortexes, Lemurians hiding in Mt Shasta [incidentally, for those unfamiliar with the area, those legends really do exist:], a will-of-the-wisp that looks like Tinkerbell, and demon-possessed garden gnomes. The good guys [our hero/heroine and an odd cast of characters:] are facing off a demon invasion of a small town on Mt Shasta where the demons are inhabit

Demonfire is a story about a band of misfits trying to save Earth or one small town on Earth from a demon take over. The book reads like a B rated horror movie, meaning it is not quite scary and the plot if not real complicated.

This book had me captivated for 200 pages. The hero Dax has a cursed tattoo of his demon self on his body. It attacks him constantly.

A decent read but a leans a more to the fantasy side. Eddy is a reporter for her hometown. Dax is a demon who has been given 7 days to complete a mission so that he can go to paradise. He is supposed to keep evil demons from entering earth portal located near Eddy's hometown. Dax has a snake tattoo that gives him great pain and only Eddy's touch can calm the pain. There a "tinkerbell" type character that gives Dax his energy so that he can fight a possessed stone gargoyle that is

I loved the beginning of this book. It was fun, original and had a great couple I could root for. It quickly got very repetitive though and I struggled to make it to the end.
If it wasn't for my obesession with declarations of true love (which this book has aplenty) I would have given up sooner. I'm a total sap for true love and ultimatly wanted to see it through to the (hopefully) HEA.

Garden gnomes are mean & evil just ask Eddy Marks. Calm, conservative & level headed Eddy can’t believe her eyes when she finds one of her garden gnomes attacking a naked man in her shed.

This was a really good book and pretty unique compared with all the *yawn* PNR I've been reading lately.. I felt the worldbuilding was wonderfully and realistically done, and the characters were all quite well developed and likable. This book is more Urban Fantasy than Romance/PNR, however there is certainly a big romance going on!

This book worked for me on some levels and didn’t on others. I loved the main couple. Dax and Eddy were fantastic. From the very beginning they have amazing chemistry and the progression of their relationship (very fast) fit into the story perfectly. Dax only has 7 days on Earth so they don’t have time to be wishy-washy about their feelings. The part that didn’t work for me was the demon’s taking up residence in garden statuary. It was beyond silly and kept pulling me out of the story. Images li

This was a good action/adventure romance in the paranormal genre. I liked that the hero has uncertainities about his chances for success in his mission. I like the world Douglas builds. I found the heroine admirable.
One reason this book didn't get my top rating is that the author doesn't give us much insight into the motives of the characters, and shows little emotional growth in her protagonists. They seemed a bit shallow to me.

WOW! So unlike yet... very like Kate Douglas.
Not her usual fantastic erotic story...this one very tame, YET the adventurous side is still VERY much present!
Good vs Evil with an evil mini me sidekick...a gnome!!!
Read how the residents of this small tight knit town, band together to ward off and defeat the evil trying to encompass it.
Adventure and laughs to boot!

Eddy is a little dismayed to discover a demon (in a human body) in her garden shed. However, this is one extraordinarily good-looking demon, and one who is determined to help prevent a massive influx of other demons which would tip the balance between good and evil here on earth. She quickly gets over her dismay and decides to do all she can to help stop the demons. (and help hunky demon Dax, even if he only has 7 days to accomplish the task.)

Finally finished this book last night. The book had a good plot and good characters. However the book was too long, the author could have reached the end of the book a lot sooner than she did. The story just didn't flow right because of the slowness. It's about demons coming to a little town in CA and needing to be destroyed by a fallen demon in human form who only has 7 days to complete the mission. After the 7 days he returns to either the Void or to Paradise, depending on his success. H

Demonfire is about several different characters all different species that interact to save the Earth from a demon invasion. I enjoy the fantasy genre but somehow could not engage my mind in this story. The characters seemed one dimensonal to me. It seemed to drag on to a somewhat disappointing conclusion. I do admit that storyline is intriguing enough but the results fell short for me. If I weren't reading this for a book club challenge I would not have finished it.

While this book took me wayyyy too long to get through, it was really good! This marks my official move into more fantasy books. While it isn't usually my cup of tea, this had lots of smutty romance to soften the fantasy blow. The story was jam packed with action, romance, fun characters, and mythos. Totally worth the zero dollars I spent on it, and had me looking for the next book in the series.

I think this is going to be another winning series by Kate Douglas. I was drawn to all the characters: Dax, Eddy, Alton, Willow and even the darn dog, Bumper. It was an intense read, with strong characters, who are determined; the pace is good; kept my interest and of course there is some nice sizzle too. I am looking forward to the next book, Hellfire. I recommend this to those of you who love a great paranormal romance read.

I got this as a freebie on my Kindle and really raced through it. I was drawn in by the characters, and didn't feel like the romance was rushed even though time was short for them. Stress and saving the world helps you figure out what is important. I like the new angle on Atlantis and the Lemurians seem like a people ripe for a coup. I'll enjoy reading that if it happens. I have purchased the rest of the series and am waiting for the rest. They are definitely worth the money.

The story was a bit heavy on the mushy love stuff but had the perfect amount of action and drama. Overall a very good read and I look forward to reading the next installment, though I'll admit that it's not the next big thing on my list but it is highly anticipated. I really want to see how Ginny and Alton's relationship grows.

I just couldn't make myself keep reading it past page 50. I felt like I was being told facts instead of getting into a story. It seemed very cliched, the story, male character and phrases used. Even paranormal needs to be believable.

The plot sounded like it had so much potential, but it really didn't live up to it. Most of the action revolved around the 7-day demon hunt which, painfully, was written so monotonously I just wanted SOMETHING exciting to happen. Or just change. Action scenes are great, but writing them with basically the same rhythm and goal gets boring. Not worth the time!

Recommend to those who liked Showalter's Atlantis and Larissa Ione's Demonica series.
It takes place here on earth with access to other dimensions. A little sci-fi there but not much. I'll post my real review once it hits TRR.

Well this book was okay for the most part. I like books that have more action, etc. going on (like go, go, go, go!) and this one really was a whole lot of fight the demons in the statues, go home and rest (have sex), go out again, fight the demons in the statues, go home and rest (more sex), with really the same result each time until of course the end of the book.
