Recommended Read: The Accidental Demon Slayer by Angie Fox
Continuing with our paranormal romance recommendations for October, next up is The Accidental Demon Slayer by Angie Fox.
Official synopsis:
It’s never a good day when an ancient demon shows up on your toilet bowl. For Lizzie Brown, that’s just the beginning. Soon her hyperactive terrier starts talking, and her long-lost biker witch Grandma is hurling Smuckers jars filled with magic. Just when she thinks she’s seen it all, Lizzie learns she’s a demon slayer—and all hell is after her.
Of course, that’s not the only thing after her. Dimitri Kallinikos, a devastatingly handsome shape-shifting griffin, needs Lizzie to slay a demon of his own. But how do you talk a girl you’ve never met into going straight to the underworld? Lie. And if that doesn’t work how dangerous could a little seduction be…?
Why I Like It
Lizzie Brown is adopted and meets her biological grandmother for the first time on her 30th birthday. When her biker grandma shows up, she shoves Lizzie in her bathroom and locks her in.
Not quite the reunion she was expecting.
It turns out that her grandma is a witch whose coven turned into a biker gang to avoid a demon that’s chasing them, and Lizzie is their Demon Slayer. Her 30th birthday is when she comes into her powers. She has to learn to fight demons on the fly, starting with the one who shows up on her toilet, then go on the run with her biker witch grandma and friends.
This book is really fun. Lizzie’s dog, which she can now understand, is hilarious. There’s drama, tension, humor, a sexy shape shifting griffin, and the exploration of having your quiet, orderly life shaken up. Lizzie has to come to terms with parts of herself she’s never needed before, and learn to live with a little chaos. Anyone who’s had life pull the rug out from under them can relate to Lizzie struggling to find her bearings in this new world she never knew existed.
This is the first book of a seven book series that has a few short stories and novellas thrown in, too. And it’s permafree, which is nice. I highly recommend reading it, and then proceeding to read all the others. They’re the kind of books where you feel like the characters are your new friends, and you’re so sad to see them go when the books are done. Fortunately, I’m pretty sure there are more books to come.
