Looking For Trouble

Addy Corwin is a florist with an attitude. A bad attitude, or so her mama says, 'cause she's not looking for a man. Mama's wrong. Addy has looked. There's just not much to choose from in Hannah, her small Alabama hometown. Until Brand Dalvahni shows up, a supernaturally sexy, breathtakingly well-built hunk

Take number 3 since my computer crashed and ate my review.

I loved this fun and witty story about, well, not much really, but that's half the fun. There's a plot about demon hunting, but it's not quite the main focus of the book. The book is a witty and fun romp about chasing demons, reanimated dead guys, talking dogs, falling in love, and watching some Dahlvani warriors get intoxicated on chocolate. Trust me, this is one you won't want to miss.

If Charlaine Harris and Janet Evanvoich could have a child, this book would be it. The beginning is akin to an anvil dropping on your head, but once Adara wakes up at home, wondering how she got there, you'll be laughing all the way through the next 300 pages. The southern dialouge mixes with 1700 historical fiction male driven dialogue will have you squirting soda out your nose if you dare to drink while reading "Demon Hunting in Dixie."

5 stars for the laughs, snorts and giggles! Thank you, Lexi George!!! I usually keep a straight face while reading on public transport, but this book had me laughing out loud so often I had other passengers staring (and smiling) at me!

Demon Hunting in Dixie is an addictive and entertaining read. With witty humor and perfectly executed characters, it is re-read worthy. So, I never ever take my kindle into the bathtub.

First in the Demon Hunter paranormal-romance series.

My Take
Well, it's essentially two really hot guys who are clueless about Earth/American culture who fall in love with two ladies in a small town in the Deep South in Alabama. I can't decide if the story is supposed to be a joke or if it's just plain bad. Think up every cliche you can imagine about the South and it's in here. I think it's supposed to be funny.

It is rather funny to watch the contortions Addy goes through trying to explain Brand...more

She was just trying to retrieve her run away dog; she didn’t intend to run into a demon and a ten thousand year old Dalvahni warrior!

This author writes a paranormal romance novel that is outstanding. She creates Addy, a southern girl that knows all the rules for proper behavior and has a mother that thinks she should get married. Ms. George’s style reads a bit like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum. Addy is an independent lady who says outrageous things and made me laugh out loud while reading it. There are more synonyms for penis in this book than I have ever seen elsewhere. And when the wife and the mistress have a fight at the funeral of a horny old man, the action is just getting started.

There are two warriors, a lot more demons, and characters with unusual abilities to know when company is coming or seeing demons and fairies. Ms. George makes her warriors godlike in both abilities and looks, and Addy and her friend Evie find themselves loving them and wanting them. Oh, there’s a talking dog, too, as well as a cat fairy.

The action is hot and heavy, both in the bedroom and while fighting demons. The conversations are unforgettable. Addy’s warrior, Brand, always answers questions literally, which is not a good thing when he’s visiting with her mother…

This book grabbed me in the first few pages, and I didn’t want to set it down. There is so much action, so many silly doings, great warrior action and rampant sex. It’s all great fun. I mean, after all, how many times does the lead female character get to give her sworn mortal enemy pimples on her butt?

If you enjoy silly madcap humor and a good love story, this book is for you. I just wish one of these warriors would show up and fall in love with me.

Also, I smell another story coming. Evie’s love interest has gone back to his world and his work and won’t be a weakened patsy like Brand, but he seems to be feeling lonely. I’d love to go visit these characters one more time. Can’t wait.

A Rollicking Farce
In a little town called Hannah, Alabama, Addy Corwin went for a run with her dog and ended up marked by a demon and protected by a gorgeous demon hunter from another dimension. Oh, and she's not quite human any more, either. Just goes to show, sometimes sitting at home munching on MoonPies and watching the boob tube is a safer way to live.

Now the boring small town, a town where nothing interesting ever happens, is revealed as a demon hot spot and Dalvahni warriors such as Brand are coming out of the woodwork. Well, okay, less wood, more glowing portals from their dimension to ours, but still. Ten thousand years old, immortal, these emotionless fighters are on an eternal quest to catch or kill the djegrali, the demons. But Brand had never met anyone like Addy before, and emotionless just doesn't cut it when faced with a mighty southern female who throws herself into every tetchy situation she finds even as she avoids the most perplexing things, like the female known as the mama.

As Addy's world expands to include talking dogs and flying cats, walking corpses missing their dangly bits, and big hulking warriors with entitlement issues, Brand and his warrior brother Ansgar have to learn to adjust to more than just a human town, they have to adjust to the South. And there just ain't no way that's going to end well.

This hysterical romp of a paranormal romance was such a fun read! Yeah, sure, I wanted to poke my eyes out at the cliched and hackneyed first chapter...or two...but when I realized that one should only read Demon Hunting In Dixie with their tongue firmly planted in their cheek, I settled back and enjoyed one of the funniest books I've read recently. It was a riot.

There isn't much in the way of thorough world building or complex character definition, the plot is a bit simple, just about every southern colloquialism that exists is bandied around as dialogue, and the stereotypes and cliche are rapid-fire punchlines to decadently sophomoric jokes, but it made me snort, giggle, and guffaw at regular intervals. It got to the point where all I had to read was Brand saying, "This I can not allow," and I was snickering.

Definitely a book that will be either loved or hated, there just isn't much room for ambivalence here. Sure, the plot was simple, but it was solid enough, and honestly, I've never read anything quite like it before, so it has originality going for it. Addy and Brand were completely likable, and the adjustments they have to make to deal with one another were some of the funniest parts of the book. There was a pleasant amount of sexual chemistry between them and a few deliciously seductive sex scenes. The romance plot thread was the more heavily featured part of the book, and though it started fast and was based far more on lust than emotion or mutual admiration, it was definitely a nice change from many of the paranormal romances I've read of late that seem to forget that there's actually supposed to be a romance developing amidst all the other threads.

True, the secondary characters were mostly caricatures and stereotypes, but I'm sorry, I wouldn't have missed the weenie in a bag and the slap down at the funeral home for anything! I was near rolling on the floor at that scene! In fact, I think this is the only book I've ever read where I was annoyed when the threat of the demon threat started to play a larger part because the hilarity was, as one would expect, considerably toned down.

Sure, the humor was mostly regional and very sophomoric, and okay, I suppose if I look at it clinically it probably wasn't the most surprising book I've ever read. Maybe it speaks volumes that I enjoyed it as much as I did, or calls my taste into question. I don't care. I'm southern. I know mamas like Addy's (not my own, thankfully). I've been to small towns like Hannah, and eaten at places like the Sweet Shop (though with considerably less topiary and dancing in the dining area). I related to all those cliches, just about every one of those stereotypes, and reveled in them all. In short, I just had a real nice time while reading. I can't wait to get my hands on more.

I am finding it difficult to write the review because while there were many things I enjoyed about this book, there were also some things that weren't so great about it.

First of all, this author knows her Southern charm and manners. The way the characters act and speak were reminiscent of Southern hospitality. The phrases the characters would blurt out were ones you would expect and come to enjoy as you read the book. There was the perfect amount of snark and humor that kept me laughing from one page to the next which is hard to do unless the author can create characters that can handle this type of personality.

Addy was a laugh out loud a minute character. She always had something smart and witty to say to anyone who crossed her path. She was not afraid to speak her mind and not one person besides her Mother was exempt from the things she would have fly out of her mouth. I absolutely loved her personality! Brand was just as humorous since he was from another dimension and found himself trying to figure out what Addy was saying most of the time. Some of the things he understood, but most of the time he had to have some of the phrases broken down for him which Addy was glad to elaborate on. My favorite scene in the entire book had to be when they were at the funeral home and Shirley and Bessie Mae were fighting over a dead guys private parts! The whole entire scene had me in tears from laughing so hard.

Addy's Mother was the typical stuck up snob of the group who was determined to make sure everyone spoke properly and act like ladies and gentlemen. I wanted to strangle her at times just like Addy wanted to. Aunt Muddy was a riot. I loved her spunk and funny entrance into the series. Talk about bad timing for Addy when Aunt Muddy returns from her trip! Evie, Addy's best friend, was charming and shy which balanced the relationship between the two. Where Addy was spontaneous and full of life, Evie was reserved and graceful. Ansgar, Brand's warrior brother, was cold and at times a stick in the mud. Yet, when Ansgar meets Evie, the cold thaws and you get to see a softer side of him My heart broke towards the end of the book for this character. I hope he gets a story of his own.

Even though the characters were fun and I laughed through most of the book, the story and plot were not as strong. Brand and Ansgar are suppose to be demon hunters, but there was not a lot of action and fighting in the book. They hardly engaged in battle and the action sort of took a backseat to the humor and personal lives of the characters. It didn't seem to balance well and left the story feeling a little off. While I liked the personalities of Addy and Evie, their acceptance of demons and such was a little too accepting. They didn't really struggle with finding out about paranormal creatures and such, they just seemed to accept it and move on. There is also a lot of characters in the book to keep track of. Not only is it full of different people, but the book also created small stories involving Addy's brother and friends as well. While sometimes this can be a good thing, I felt the author could have toned down a little bit on the character overload and gradually paced their stories to use in future books.

Overall, I loved the characters but I wasn't a big fan of the story and speed of the book. Will I read the next book? Definitely! I need my Addy fix and I am dying to know if Ansgar is going to work things out as well.(less)

What I LOVED: Evie! Yes I know this is Addy's book. If I had to be honest, it is Evie that really made me smile. She is such a fantastically written character from the beginning to the end. I love when a secondary character gets to come out and be a star (at least to me and Ansgar). Call it the "frump girl" in me but that kind of character always makes me root for them! Of course I loved Blondie (Ansgar), Addy, and Brand too. Demon Hunting in Dixie is full of moments that just make you laugh out loud till you snort. In fact, fair warning: no drinking of liquids while reading! I love that Demon Hunting in Dixie was light, fun, and humorous all the way through.

What I LIKED: The story was fun and quirky! While it was a little slow in the middle, there were tons of funny moments to fill in the holes. I had fun reading about the adventures in the little town of Hannah and can't wait to read more! The town was just full of quirky characters that you just want to visit again.

Complaints: None! Don't read on an empty stomach because you will be wanting some good old fashioned southern comfort food. Seriously, there was one section that I was craving Fried Chicken without the super hot sauce though!

Just a few favorite MOMENTS (all from the first because I am not giving anything away):

"Supernatural woo-woo was way out of her league. Who was she kidding? The stuff she'd seen tonight didn't happen to anybody. It was too SyFy Channel for words."

"Y-you wanna go out sometimes? I got my own truck." Lord love a redneck, Addy though with a mental eye roll.

"You bet your bippy I'm upset." Addy's voice rose. "I'm Mount Vesuvius, and I'm fixing to go Pompeii on your ass."

Why I gave it a 4.00: If you like fun Southern humor with a bit of paranormal thrown in then this book is for you! I would put Lexi in my Dakota Cassidy and Molly Harper love group. Only the best for the Snort Club!(less)

She feels like evil is watching her and is attacked by a Djegrali Demon. Then a man appears out of a portal, who brandishes a flaming sword. There are two of the demons and the man, Brand kills one of the creatures. Before the second creature escapes it stabs her with its poisonous claws and she passes out.

She wakes in her house with the mysterious man Brand beside her, who tells her he’s a Dalvahni warrior, who’s lived over 10,000 years and that he hunts Djegrali demons through the realms. He wants to stay and protect her because when the demon stabbed her, he marked her and will be back to finish her off. To make matters more interesting she asks him how he knew where she lived and he informs her that Dooley told him. At this point, she’s thinking he’s just a gorgeous lunatic. Addy is disbelieving until he calls her dog over and tells her to speak and Dooley obliges by speaking English.

The book has a Southern charm feel to it. Like how Addy lives in one of those small towns in Hannah, Alabama. The kind of town where everyone gossips and everyone knows everyone else’s business. Throughout the book Addy is more terrified of her mama than she is of a demon hunting her. Believe me, when you meet her mama, you’ll be running scared too.
Besides the southern charm, Demon Hunting Dixie has an abundant amount of humor splashed throughout the pages. To put it mildly there are Demons, possessed dead bodies roaming the town, a talking dog, a flying fae kitten with gorgeous wings, a scary mama, magical abilities, and much more.

I don’t normally read this kind of paranormal, but this book kept my attention and was a nice change from my normal paranormal. If you like feisty Southern heroines with quirky sayings, thrown into the supernatural world, without a life preserver, than you’ll like this book.

I did receive this book for Free to give my honest review. This did not affect the rating on the book and my rating/review is strictly my own opinion.

I don't think I've ever read a funny paranormal romance but that's what this is and if you can appreciate the humor like i do you'll love this book too. Here is a little blurb from the book.

Demon Hunting in Dixie

A warrior, a demon, and the girl next door…

Looking For Trouble

Addy Corwin is a florist with an attitude. A bad attitude, or so her mama says, ‘cause she’s not looking for a man. Mama’s wrong. Addy has looked. There’s just not much to choose from in Hannah, her small Alabama hometown. Until Brand Dalvahni shows up, a supernaturally sexy, breathtakingly well-built hunk of a warrior from—well, not from around here, that’s for sure. Mama thinks he might be European or maybe even a Yankee. Brand says he’s from another dimension.

Addy couldn't care less where he’s from. He’s gorgeous. Serious muscles. Disturbing green eyes. Brand really gets her going. Too bad he’s a whack job. Says he’s come to rescue her from a demon. Puh-lease. But right after Brand shows up, strange things start to happen. Dogs talk and reanimated corpses stalk the quite streets of Hannah. Her mortal enemy Meredith, otherwise known as the Death Starr, breaks out in a severe and inexplicable case of butt boils. Addy might not know what’s going on, but she definitely wants a certain sexy demon hunter by her side when it all goes down…

I didn't realize this was going to be a funny book although i could see the humor in the excerpt i read. The whole time i read this book i bugged people around me with the funny lines i was reading. I have two friends who want to borrow it already. I can't say what the best part of the book was for me because i loved it all. It was funny but still had the scarier stuff that comes with demon hunting and the romance too. This was one of the best books I've read in a while. To check out a excerpt go to Lexie Geroge's website by clicking here http://www.lexigeorge.com/. I give Demon Hunting in Dixie 5 out of 5 Modokker Book Pick stars.

My opinion:
Fabulous! I didn’t laugh as much in a long time and never with a book about demons. Generally when you pick a book with demon it’s at least a little dark or filled with tension at least, yes there are demons with honour and a set of rules, not all “demons” are evil etc but until now I’ve never encountered a book with them included that made me laugh for more than 90% of the story , the 10% left were for the action, tension part and the romance when humour was low or no present but in a whole this book made me smile when i thought it impossible and when i started i couldn’t stop! Lexi George really managed to create a wonderful universe filled with action, romance and humour where everything has its place.

In this universe, demons called “djegrali” as well as those who hunt them come from an alternate universe, they can jump in time and between worlds without difficulty. The hunters or “Dalvahni” are tripped of all emotions, their sole goal is to hunt the demons to imprison or destroy them. They have a huge (and i mean HUGE) appetite, some special powers like immortality, invisibility etc and to better accomplish their mission they do have some advantage like an understanding of all languages, special purse that deliver money of any kind at will and they can alter memories. One other good point is: they are terribly gorgeous.

Brand is one of those famous warriors and while pursuing some Djegralis in our world, in Alabama, he is put at a disadvantage in a combat when he is confronting several enemies. Addy, short for Adara, was walking her dog Dooley when her instinct told her something was wrong, trying to get back her dog after she flew she is confronted to a creature of nightmare until in a blinding light appears a man with a sword who start to fight… seeing others creatures she call out to him, helping as she can but the consequences are dire since she is hurt in the process.

Confronted to a choice, Brand decides to save his new ally however it’s something forbidden or at least no recommended since his has an impact on the human. Now, Addy can hear and understand her dog and when she gets angry strange things happens…. which start to happen a little to often as Brand and his fellow warrior Ansgard, who has the worst timing ever, are around.

Lexi George use the fact they are coming from another universe to play with the languages because if they understand it… it’s only the basics one and not all the idioms, sayings typical from the south and that gives some interesting and so funny scene. Add to that fact that Brand is chivalrous, polite, possessive alpha with a tendency to tell the truth to easily without prior knowledge of the privacy or the taboo of some topics and you get hilarious scenes. He is making Addy as furious as possible all while getting completely out of control suddenly overwhelmed by unknown feelings.
The action is there, like I said Ansgard has a terrible timing that made me sorry for Addy and Brand, even more when he has such an icy attitude at first.

We get the romance between Adara and Brand but despite all his rhetoric and rules the icy warrior isn’t immune to human charm either since he got easily transfixed by Evie, Evangeline, the best friend of Addy who has the particularity to see faeries. Because, as Addy will learn, her little town isn’t as boring and simple as it seems. Lot of demons and demons descendants are living there as well as humans with some magical power. The name of the town also means something for the Dalvahni even if we are still a little unsure of what at the moment.

Really this is a wonderful read if you need to relax a little, to smile but want action and romance this is the book for you. I can’t wait to have the other books in the series (without forgetting the novellas, it’s really to good to miss). I really recommend you to try it

Score: 5/5

Addy Corwin is a southern lady. Well, most of the time! She's a florist with a mother out to nab her a husband. No man has ever interested her more than Brand Dalvahni. Gorgeous, muscular, and dangerous. He saves her from a demon attack and is determined to stick by her side to protect her for when the demon comes back. Not that she minds such a sexy man by her side, but he's a bossy alpha male and fiery Addy doesn't take well to being ordered around. More strange things start happening, and Add...more

Mar 13, 2013 Leigh rated it 1 of 5 stars · review of another edition

1.5 stars - the 1/2 upgrade is because it was amusing ... some of the time.

Out of 320 pages, 1/4 was semi-erotica (& not even terribly interesting), 1/4 was trying to fit every southern trope you've ever heard into the dialogue, 1/4 was just BAD "comedy", and the remaining 1/4 was divided between the actual plot/story and amusingly bad "so bad it's funny" comedy. That's right - 40 pages tops of storytelling, and it includes the *at most* thimble-full of character development that occurred. M...more

Shelves: 2011

DEMON HUNTING IN DIXIE is a hilarious debut. The humor reminds me of Mary Janice Davidson, Molly Harper, and Michele Bardsley. It is a fun look at a very different southern town. Addy is so much fun. She is a little hard to take seriously, because she doesn't take much seriously. I love how she curses Meredith, who is truly a witch, with pimples and butt boils. Brand is one sexy hero and very funny too. I love his literal take on everything Addy says. These two shouldn't fit each other, but they...more

Well this book was very different and very likable at the same times. I’ve never read about an inter-galactic demon hunter. Well I have read Touched by an Alien by Gini Koch, which does sort of resemble this book, except her involves Aliens, secret agents and a more in depth plot and story line. However, this one was new and refreshing. Although, there were many little odd things. More like awkward moments. Like someone bursting into flames and it’s the only time it happens and its barely explai...more

Shelves: chick-lit, vampire-paranormal-fiction, fiction

Lately there has been too much stress and serious thinking in my life and so I have felt the need to escape with my reading--something fun and mindless, that I don't have to think about too much. Demon Hunting in Dixie is the perfect book for that. I got it (on sale this month at Amazon for $3.99) on Kindle and read it in a couple of nights before bed. It is total chick-lit--paranormal romance and fluffy as cotton candy but it had me chuckling through each page.

4.5♥s

Addy Corwin is walking her dog one night when she's attacked by a demon. Then a big, gorgeous warrior steps through a portal and saves her from death--literally. Brand is an unflappable, unemotional demon-hunter from another realm. But in his 10,000 years he's never run into anyone like Addy. And he doesn't know what to do with her or about her. She makes him ... feel. And to put his new protective feelings in overdrive, the demon who attacked Addy isn't done with her...

3.5 stars. This book is light, fluffy and silly and EXACTLY what I was looking for. After reading a bunch of stories which were either very dark,ended in a way I didn't like or required to much thought to figure everything out this book was a breath of fresh air. It wont suit everyone as it definitely light and silly but it is ooh so funny. There are a lot of laugh out loud moments - my favourite being the scene between Shirley & Bessie Mae at the viewing. I also really enjoyed the flying ca...more

This book was hysterically funny and sexy. If you want to read about demons, faeries, talking dogs, flying kittens, sexy Dalvahni demon hunters and scary Southern mamas, this book is definitely for you. I love literal-minded Brand. He cannot stand to hear a fib and is constantly correcting Addy when she tells one. One of his hilarious comments when Evie asks about a funeral he and Addy had been to: "I found the sepulchral speeches a bit tedious, but the part at the end where 2 females chased one...more

Now that the second book is almost out I discovered that I didn't write any kind of review at all for the Demon Hunting in Dixie. I thought that the book was a total crack up, the dialog was so amazing - colorful, and rapid paced - I still haven't run across anything else quite like it – Laurenston's Pride without the crass or maybe something by MacAllister's without the need for therapy are the only things come even remotely close. (I was also truly astounded by extensive assortment of silly sl...more

Shelves: demon, romance, sexy, funny

Although this is one of your average middle-aged, romance, sex story novels, it is defintely worth your time to read!Funny, sexy, and thrilling, Demon Hunting in Dixie will make you laugh and send shivers down your spine. I loved the "southern humor" used in the writing, and how the writer, Lexi George, was able to describe every detail of the characters, but leaving room open for imagination. The title is misleading however because there is no demon hunting in DIXIE, but in Hannah, Alabama. It'...more

I'm sorry, but this was just stupid.
Randomly, in a small town in the South, demons are appearing (and have been for some time apparently) so two demon hunters from other dimensions come to take care of them. only they look and talk like two ridiculous hot human men. who are completely clueless about the majority of human interaction.
The main character, Addy, was a mix of southern bell and Not. So, a complete contradiction. she falls in love with one of the very manly demon hunters and keeps goi...more

Finished this book it was ok. Can anticipate the next book being about eveie and Ansgard .
Would have been nice if both the women got their men. But then What would the future books be about?
a demon hunter show up in the woods just as a woman is running after her dog who hears something in the woods. Demon hunter saves girls life but in doing so binds them together. Now she is no longer fully human. The demon who attacks her is he'll bent on having her for himself. This all takes place in a littl...more

About Lexi George

Lexi grew up in South Alabama in a rural community with one flashing light and a small country store that sold everything from gas to pickled eggs. Her father, a circuit judge, collected clocks — chiming clocks that binged and banged all night long in rhythm with the trains that chugged and wailed down the railroad track not a hundred yards from Lexi’s girlhood home. Needless to say, Lexi is a ver...more Lexi grew up in South Alabama in a rural community with one flashing light and a small country store that sold everything from gas to pickled eggs. Her father, a circuit judge, collected clocks — chiming clocks that binged and banged all night long in rhythm with the trains that chugged and wailed down the railroad track not a hundred yards from Lexi’s girlhood home. Needless to say, Lexi is a very sound sleeper. And to this day, the lonely sound of a train whistle does something to her.

She grew up surrounded by cotton fields and wide open spaces. She was a major tomboy. Dressed in a boy cousin’s hand-me-downs, she ran barefoot, climbed trees, played in ditches, and picked sun-warmed dew berries off their prickly vines. Sometimes, her parents drove her into town to play with her city cousins. They played dress-up, made forts, charged up and down dirt mounds in noisy games of King of the Hill and chased the mosquito truck on their bikes.

Lexi’s mother was a high school English teacher who instilled in her daughter a love of reading and books. The muse first struck Lexi in the third grade, when she began to write poetry. Bad poetry.

She continued to flay the English language throughout high school and college.
And then she went to law school and the muse left her.

The muse HATED law school.

Lexi wasn’t too crazy about it either, especially the rule against perpetuities, but with a public relations major and English minor, it seemed the sensible thing to do.

After passing the Alabama state bar exam on her first attempt, Lexi got a job as an appellate attorney with a big state agency where she’s happily worked ever since. Her day job involves writing briefs and reading criminal transcripts – transcripts where people do rude things to one another.

In Lexi’s experience, the human capacity for rudeness is unlimited. No doubt, a daily diet of man’s inhumanity to man . . . and woman . . . and children . . . and dogs and cats is somewhat responsible for Lexi’s desire to escape reality in the pages of a good book. Preferably a romance, her favorite genre.

Demon Hunting in DixieSome fifteen years ago, the muse abruptly returned from Fiji or Wawbeek or wherever the heck she went, and Lexi started writing again. Novels, not poetry. She joined a writer’s group and wrote and wrote and wrote.

DEMON HUNTING IN DIXIE, a paranormal romance, is her debut novel. It is peopled with funny characters and sexy demon hunters and lots of supernatural woo woo. And the other kind of ‘woo woo’ as well.

The story has a happy ending.

Since being traumatized by OLD YELLER at the age of nine, Lexi is all about the happily ever after.(less)
