by A. Kirk, E. Kirk

The Boys Are Back In Town! And as HEXTRAORDINARILY SEXY AS EVER! - It's the exciting Sequel to DEMONS AT DEADNIGHT! Continuing the thrill-ride adventures of Aurora and the Super Sexy HEXY KNIGHTS!
-------------------------
Survival. It's an on-going battle.

GOING ON A TREASURE HUNT...
Aurora Lahey finally knows why supernatural slayers salivate to slaughter her, but how to stop them? Not so much. Sure, she's discovered her own lethal powers, and has six sexy, super-charged, demon hunting Hex Boys watching her back--the hottest one watching every part of her. But when a seductive stranger delivers a deadly ultimatum, Aurora and the Hex Boys plunge into a do-or-die hunt for a legendary Mandatum treasure, which will finally shift power in their favor. Or unleash hell on earth.

NEX MARKS THE SPOT...
Pursued by demons of mythical proportions, Aurora and the Hex Boys race deeper into the shadowy world of a centuries-old mystery and brutal conspiracy, where no one and nothing is what it seems. Where love and betrayal go hand-in-hand, and trusting the wrong person not only breaks your heart, but gets you killed.

DEMONS ON YOUR TAIL...
Uncovering shocking secrets from the Hex Boys' past, hiding her Divinicus Nex identity, lying to her pretend-wish-he-were-real boyfriend, dodging demons, breaking into ancient tombs, taking the unexpected side trip to the dark depths of the Waiting World, tracking a traitor, and passing Physics...Aurora could do that in her sleep. Or more likely, die trying.

“It was a classic,age-old story.Girl with sucky superpower of tracking demons through psychic visions needs protection from aforementioned demons and their ravenous attempts to flay her alive,but she doesn't want to arouse the suspicion of her thankfully clueless family.”

Add to the package some hexy knights,a serial killer's treasure,a mysterious new character with questionable fashion taste,Greek gods,mummies,a pet demon,a kinky sex pentagon,wrap them up with a smoking hot Ayden preferably naked and the result is this

Super-cala-fragil-istic-expi-ali-doe-cious.You don't understand what super-cala-fragil-istic-expi-ali-doe-cious means?Neither do I,but I hope it's something good that describes how super awesome this book is!The boys are back and they're looking for trouble or,more precisely,trouble is looking for them and their team's new member Aurora (shut up Matthias!),who tries to hide that she's the Divinicus Nex and to understand how her powers work.
You're up for an extremely enjoyable ride mates!

“Has anyone ever mentioned that you bicker like old women?”Rose asked.
“Sixty-seven times”,Jayden said.

Table of Contents
A&E Kirk did it again!!Drop Dead Demons was a highly addictive,fast-paced book full of
1.Action.Plenty scenes with fights and battles with demons and ancient gods,visits to the Waiting World,parents who kick some major ass,mind-blowing super powers,all of them will make you nervous and eventually clap with pride.
2.Suspense.An unknown traitor,a former insane asylum/serial killer's lair full of secrets and some characters whose loyalties remain a mystery will make your heart beat fast and lose sleep trying to get answers.
3.Romance.Ayden and Aurora are finally together,and even though they still learn how to trust each other,their scenes are so sweet and emotional!And when there is kissing involved,you feel warm and fuzzy and swoon and maybe you get possessive over Ayden.

4.Laughter.Especially when Blake and Jayden open their mouths.(does Jayden remind you of Sheldon Cooper?)I'll let quotes speak.

Logan looked up at the big guy.“Do you ever hear yourself?”
Blake beamed. “I’m my biggest fan.”
“Your only fan,” Ayden said.
“Hurtful, dude.”

“Mom, this isn’t what it looks like.”
Mom put her hand on her hip. “It looks like a group of boys wrestling on the floor of your bedroom while you watch. Wearing a towel.”
“Okay,” I admitted, “it is what it looks like, but it’s not—”
“Sexual?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Mom!”
Luna stuck her head under Mom’s arm and sucked in a breath.“She’s gone from a love triangle to a kinky sex pentagon.”
Blake lifted his head.“Vote for Team Blake.”

What are you waiting for?

[Aj the Ravenous Reader · Rating 4 out of 5]

Buddyread with my bright young friends, Sandra and Tamara. You can check out their fab reviews by clicking their names.^^

All hell broke loose and released drop dead…gorgeous hotties including one blonde super gorgeoulicious Adonis in one-piece skintight leather suit. (Not a very pretty sight, after all! Haha) Wait, it’s supposed to be about demons, right? Yeah, them too. Lots and lots of demons sprouting from underground, poofing from the air, dropping from the sky and leaving gore-a-licious trails of their gooey, pleasant, not at all yucky substances. (Sorry to those eating. :/)

Told by the same, insanely hilarious voice (as in I couldn’t stop my shoulders from shaking and my tears from falling because of too much laughter hilarious), Aurora continues to tell her adventures with the Hex boys which included endless deadly training physically, mentally and emotionally, weird treasure hunts, several literally hellish visits, man-to-man combat with Greek goddesses (totally insane!)and the hardest battle of all, battle with her hormones.(LMAO!) And as in the first book, the plot is well, let me sophisticatedly say it, completely whacked out! (exactly like this review, Lol!)

But it’s the kind of story I could forgive despite the plot holes because everything about it made me laugh from beginning to end. All the characters are seriously funny and all the scenes, no matter how dangerous, are told in the most comical way even the steamy scenes with Aurora and my Ayden (don’t even try to object, Kat.^^) though were really hot as hell, (no profanity intended- just making a reference to the setting.^^) were often cut short by parents or bad-ass pregnant aunts that would make un-sexy remarks like “That’s how babies are made!” LMAO!

The following is the perfect depiction of my reactions while reading the book, minus the crying emoji ^^.


I just wish Matthias' jerk level weren’t sky high and Aurora’s self-esteem weren’t underground level low. How could she just let Matthias treat her that way? I was millimeters close to attacking Matthias despite his pretty face for calling Aurora an idiot, nitwit and all their synonyms from start to end. Sure he has a painful past but in my law, no one is excused for being a jerk! My complaint ends here though because this book just like its prequel made my weekend. Endless thanks to the awesome authors! I can’t wait for the third book! <3

For a proper review, do check out Katerina's review.

We love these characters, love the new ones and have a great time writing them. We also adore you, the amazing fans - thanks for showering us with such tremendous support.

Aurora and the Hex Boys are back!

Enjoy!

[Rachel Maniacup · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is just so amazing! I enjoyed the first book so much,and I can't deny that the second book was even better! I loved the story,the humor,the action,and best of all..the characters! It's because all the characters here and their relationship with each other were well developed..except for,well..Aurora's favorite!(Matthias)
I loved the MC's,their families,their friends,and even Aurora's aunt who I really find mysterious,but also funny and witty.(Looking forward to know more about her on the third book).

I also enjoyed the additional mythical characters(yes,there were gods,and godess here!)Surprising isn't it?!
But still,my favorite are the Hex Boys! And here are the 6 dwarfs"hex boys" of Aurora:

..grumpy - Matthias

..cranky - Matthias

..grouchy- Matthias

..crabby - Matthias

..sulky - Matthias

..jerky - Matthias

alright,alright! Just kidding! Here are the real 6 dwarfs of Aurora:

..Doc - Jayden

..Happy- Blake

..Bashful-Logan

..Dopey-genius-Tristan

..Swoon-Worthy-Ayden

..Grumpy -Matthias

See..I'm still right about Matthias,bahaha! I just wish,he will stop being a jerk to Aurora on the third book! Sometimes,I think this Aussie is gay,and he's just too insecure of Aurora that's why he treats her that way,lol!

I have come to love Aurora so much in this book because she maybe an imperfect heroine but she has grown stronger and courageous.
I even loved how Aurora and Ayden's relationship had progressed,the romance between them was so cute!

And though I didn't notice when I was reading this,that this book was astonishingly long,It never bothered me because..It was nice to cherish the hilarious and wonderful moments with the characters.In fact,when I'm done reading it,I still wanted more because not only that I totally loved this book..but because the ending was quite a huge cliffie!

AUTHORS,please be quick with the 3rd book!^^

Looking at my old review....I can't actually say that this one is any different. I still loved the same parts, some parts still dragged on in the details...and I still absolutely love the characters!

That cliffhanger though, damn. I can't wait for Book III, like, I really, really, really need it!

This book was just as hilarious as the first one.
I did really enjoy it, but sometimes it felt like it droned on and on about details and stuff. I love the characters :) The Hexy Knight boys are always awesome, and I like Aurora but the whole "lets not trust each other" thing kind of got really old, really fast

I was excited to learn that there are going to be 6 books!!! Four more books to be excited for!!!! but its Four books that aren't yet out....sad

I am really looking forward to reading about their next adventure, and of course I am really looking forward to more Ayden, Jayden, Logan, Tristan, Blake, and Matthias [even though the last one hasn't quite grown on me yet] and seeing where the books take the relationship between Ayden and Aurora!!

[Jasmine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Actual rating: 5+++ fan-bloody-tastic(quoted from Matthias, or Matty) stars!

I know I've said this over a million times, but I'm gonna say it again. THIS BOOK IS EXTREMELY AMAZING AND MUCH MORE INTRIGUING THAN THE FIRST ONE, Demons at Deadnight!!!

The story picked up shortly after the cliffhanger in the last book and it was really fast-paced. Lots of twists and unexpected moves from the characters, including our six lovely hexy knights and a smart-mouthed, crazy redhead Babe, Aurora. Of course, the guys' bickering was funnier and I'd never get tired of their clever comebacks and unstoppably hilarious banters!

“What’s wrong with her?”
“Nothing.” I ran over and snaked an arm around his neck. “Especially now that you’re here, sugar lips.”
My fingers slid into his hair, pulling his mouth against mine. He tasted yummy. Minty. And all mine. But he pulled away.
I planted a bunch of kisses on his face and neck. “Helloooo, gorgeous.”
Blake said, “She must think you’re me.”

I'm so happy that there's no love-triangle or sex-polygon, umm...according to Aurora's so-not-helping younger sister, Luna, in this book and she was officially dating Ayden! Yay! Despite the fact that they were really together, my latest hero, Blake, still called her Babe all the time and made some ridiculously stupid jokes in front of the boys, but in my opinion, he was super charming in that way. I think that's what a team's supposed to look like. :D

“Which one did you give her?” he asked Matthias.
At the sight of me, Matthias shut down the indulgent smile that always surfaced around Selena. “Pride and Prejudice.”
“I love that one,” Blake said. “Heathcliff and Elizabeth were made for each other.”

Yep, this one just confirmed my suspicion that Blake was exceptionally poor at Literature. Have I mentioned that he honestly thought Romeo ended up with Cleopatra? Anyway, that just made me love him more. LOL.

And the swoon-worthy scenes between Ayden and Aurora was taken up a notch in this book! The author just kept me hanging on from one sweet moment to the next; they finally started to take some romance into action and then every time they were always interrupted by someone or something or simply their inexperience or their fear for love.

“Let’s do this.”
“Do what?”
“I’m going to kiss you.”
“Whoa!” My hands flew into the air and I moved to escape. “This is stupid.”
He blocked my path. “Hold on. Not stupid at all. You have a valid point, just give me a minute.” He rolled his shoulders, shook out his arms, rocked on the balls of his feet a few times, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. “Okay. I’m ready.”
I frowned. “You have to gear-up to kiss me?”

I'm also fascinated by the Greek mythology and all those awesome-struck gods/goddesses in the story. The author managed to bring Aphrodite, Artemis, Psyche, and Rose into life and even recreated a whole new version of their presences. What's more, Aurora's awakening power never failed to stun me all over again. Every time something unbelievable happened, I was like, WOW! This is seriously insane! and I couldn't control my emotional feeling throughout the entire book.

“Protect yourself!” I said. “They won’t hurt me because they’re working with Rose!”
The closest hound lunged at my throat.
I kicked its head sideways. “Never mind! You can help!”
The demons converged.

Besides, this is also a story about trust and faith. You never know who's on whose side until the last, fatal minute. And...science. I mean, at least I learned that betrayal is a compound instead of an element.

My own irritation with his behavior started to dissipate. Because his anger wasn’t an element, it was a compound. See, I pay attention in science. An emotional compound of fear, helplessness, and hurt because I didn’t trust him.

Once again, the author left us a delicious cliffhanger and my excitement is about to explode very soon, because anything could happen !


All in all, why not give this series a try? It's really addictive to me and the plot is getting more and more interesting. Good news is, the next book will be released next month! Hopefully you all can enjoy this funny, light read as much as I do!

[Montzalee Wittmann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Drop Dead Demons is book 2 and is best to read them in order to enjoy them better. This is just as fun and exciting as book one. Fun, sexy teen demon hunter boys protecting a teen girl with a secret. All with secrets and powers. Demons and some one from the "good" side is after the girl. Also, a guy named Rose is going to kill her if she doesn't find a stone for him. There is so much fun fantasy in here and also a ton of humor. These authors make the most common things hilarious! Smiles and giggles from start to finish! Loved it!

[Elise ✘ a.k.a Ryder's Pet ✘ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Re-read: 28.12.15
Still feeling the same. Drop Dead Demons is a good book, but it doesn't beat Demons at Deadnight (book #1) at all. I love all the Hex boys, though Matthias sometimes get on my nerves but in a good way ;) And now that I think about it I wonder if Christiano (that he's name?) is Aurora "other half"...

*Might contain spoilers*
Who doesn't love the Hex boys? Well i actually don't care if you do, because i do, and i'm having every single one of them.. THEY ARE MINE!

“Mom, this isn’t what it looks like.”
Mom put her hand on her hip. “It looks like a group of boys wrestling on the floor of your bedroom while you watch. Wearing a towel.”
“Okay,” I admitted, “it is what it looks like, but it’s not—”
“Sexual?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Mom!”
Luna stuck her head under Mom’s arm and sucked in a breath. “She’s gone from a love triangle to a kinky sex pentagon.”

A&E Kirk how can you just end the book like that? I need more information! I need to know what will happen!!! Will Matthias finally start liking my girl, Aurora? Will there be some hot and sweaty scenes between Ayden & Aurora? Will we find out who Aurora's other half is, her protector?

Rate: 4/3 stars.

Buddy read with Aj and Tamara! You can click on their names to read their fabulous reviews!

Mild spoilers ahead.
So here's the deal with this one. I wasn't totally into the first half. A lot was going on, it wasn't slow at all, it was hilarious, and I liked it, but I just didn't LOVE it. It's me though, not the book.
The 50% mark
That was the point where I couldn't put it down. Everything after 50% was so freaking amazing! I loved this book! Every page turn was filled with jaw-dropping moments as well as lots and lots of humor! I honestly can't remember that last part where there wasn't even a tiny joke or some sarcasm. Always. I couldn't stop laughing! Like some of the jokes were down-right ridiculous and you just had to laugh! I wouldn't classify this as a light read by any means. But it's got plenty of light moments :D

“Mom, this isn’t what it looks like.”
Mom put her hand on her hip. “It looks like a group of boys wrestling on the floor of your bedroom while you watch. Wearing a towel.”
“Okay,” I admitted, “it is what it looks like, but it’s not—”
“Sexual?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Mom!”
Luna stuck her head under Mom’s arm and sucked in a breath. “She’s gone from a love triangle to a kinky sex pentagon.”
Blake lifted his head. “Vote for Team Blake!"

All the characters are comical! But I think Blake is the most comically relieving of them all! He never seemed serious! I love how he's always flirting with Aurora but it's not for real!

My favorite scene was definitely the one with Rose and the catsuit. It was a prime ROFL moment and I was dying ^^
However it's too long to paste here so you're just gonna have to read the book if you don't know what I'm talking about!

Quick side note: Rose is actually Eros and he wants Aurora's help retrieving his wife Psyche from the Waiting World.
The Waiting World....that place is so gross and creepy. For all of you PJO fans, it's almost worse than Tartarus!

I still think Cristiano is the Bellator
So they all think that there is a team of highly-trained assassins coming after Aurora......and I'm like "Mr. Hot-stuff is the Bellator".
Why would he comment on her beauty and act so sweet if he wants to send ninjas after her?
I'm currently Team Ayden, but don't be weirded out if that changes when Signore Davvero Bello Italiano (Google Translate is a beautiful thing) comes into the picture!
Speaking of Ayden, let's talk about the description in this book. Details GALORE!
The kissing scenes with Ayden are beautifully described and the setting of the Waiting World is incredibly illustrated (no way am I applying the word "beautiful" to that place!)
So well done to the authors in that department! In most of the departments actually.

However, the guy from the last book who I thought was Cristiano in the visions was actually Eros, or "Rose". There are Greek gods in this book! Except they're not too different from the demons! That was quite an interesting twist!

Of course the Hex boys knew Aurora was the Divinicus Nex! Thank goodness. I was worried about them for a second when I thought it hadn't clicked. Most books like to leave certain smart characters in the dark. Not in this one! The Hex boys are sexy, badass, and smart!
Also their parents are so cool!

Of course the Mandatum is actually evil. Or at least Sophia.

Hahahahahahaha Fido ^^

I loved the whole secret sanctuary aspect! And the treasure! It brought an exciting air of mystery to the book and I loved it!

I think there is something we don't know about Van Helsing!

Still really wanna punch Matthias! Seriously, how come we don't know why he hates Aurora?? He just does.

Next book? Where is it! Cliffhangers leave me thirsty for more! Where oh where is it?????

“Stop being a baby,” Blake stepped into the room. “We’re perfectly safe.”
Something clanked. Blake yelped, lifted me in front of his chest, and peeked around for danger.
Logan ducked under the gate. “It’s just me.”
I glared at Blake. “Are you seriously using me as a human shield?”

In addition to epicness that is the first book we got greek gods, crazy relatives, steaming hot (literally) kisses, more ass kicking, demon pets, etc, etc.

I really really loved this one. The plot was very interesting (and maybe a little fast and messy but not that I complaining), characters are awesome (as always) and it was perfectly written.

We finally got Ayden&Aurora being a real couple and it's one of the cutest (and hottest (literally)) couples ever.

His laughter rumbled low, slithering heat underneath my skin. I pulled him to me, backing him against the table, risking a literal firestorm as his lips laid upon mine with a burning promise of—
“That’s how babies are made!”
I reeled back and knocked over a chair. “Aunt M!”
“Sex kills!”
“M, seriously.” Mom walked into the kitchen and rolled her eyes.
My aunt patted her belly. “It killed my waistline.”

Remember Aurora's family? Her aunt appeared in this book. And her aunt made everyone look totally-not-crazy.

“Satellite phone. Big difference. But…fine. Sorry.” Aunt M didn’t sound sorry. “This pregnancy is frying my motherboard. And speaking of babies—”
Here it comes.
“—that’s what parking with your boyfriend leads to, Aurora. Save yourself the agony. My bladder will never be the same.”
“I’m not parking with my boyfriend!” I screeched.

Annnnd. Turned out, not only Aurora's relatives are nuts.

“Make sure to bleed a lot.”
“Grandma!” Tristan paled.
“What? I said bleed a lot, not bleed out.”

We also got some mysteries revealed. About Tristan parents, about Mattias, about Mandatum, about Divinicus Nex. And I'll tell you: everything is a w e s o m e.

“What did you touch?”
“Are you going to spray everything for cooties?”
His pale eyes narrowed. “Maybe.”
“Then I touched everything.”

And we got some new mysteries. Like who exactly is Aunt M? Is the identity of traitor legit? What happened to Fido? Is that Cristiano guy Bellator or not? (adskdjshkdshf I hate cliffhangers)

It's so hard to close this book and push it aside.

“So, about Aurora?”
“Not sure,” Mom snapped. “You made her cry the other day. I don’t like that.”
I cringed.
“Neither do I, ma’am.”
“But you fixed it?”
“I believe so.”
“Mm-hmm.” Mom sounded skeptical. “If it happens again, I may start removing body parts.” Pause. “Meaning yours.”

I blushed. “You know, maybe I meant more that you seemed...uninterested. In, ah, in ahhh,” I moved my palm in circles in the air in front of me.
He lifted one brow. “Uninterested in your…chest?”
“What?” I realized my hand had been circling right over my boobs. Nice move, Aurora. I rolled my eyes. Was he playing with me? Didn’t matter. “No! Not…that!”
“Good.” His dark eyes glittered with amusement. “Because I can assure you I find your chest very interesting. At times, downright mesmerizing.”

I'll never stop recommending these series to everyone. And I can't wait for other books, A&E Kirk are amazing writers!

Ayden and I stared. Crickets chirped. Ducks quacked. Swans honked. And even an owl hooted.
“Uhhh,” I finally mustered after I lifted my jaw off the ground. “Is he supposed to be able to do that?”

"Ayden zeroed in on Blake. “Come on, Weak Link, give it up.”

I choked. “What!”
“You idiot!” Logan thumped Blake repeatedly.
“Technically, that’s true.” Jayden said. “But only once.”
Ayden’s arms dropped. Along with his jaw."

“Rose stood in the last faint beams of sunset.
“Whoa!”
“Is he wearing a leather cat suit?”
“Holy Mother!"
“Dude!”
The guys all quickly averted their eyes and raised their hands to further block any chance of catching a view. Anything to not see Rose in his painted-on leather one-piece that left absolutely nothing to the imagination.
“Stunning, right?” Rose spread his palms as far as the cuffs would allow.
“Oh, I’m stunned.” Ayden looked ill.

I like this book, I really like how it made me laugh so hard even through the chaos. Aurora was still the clumsy badass girl, Ayden was still sweet and flirty, Matthias was still an asshole, I was really hoping to like him here. I was really getting there but then he opens that dirty mouth of his. Overall the whole gang was just so adorable. Then we have Adonis who is so Fabio-like.. Seriously this book is just so hilarious; there is never a dull moment. I got some of the answers I needed in the first book.

Is it just me because I feel like the revelation did not leave enough impression, it’s lacking of impact for me to say things like “Holy shit!”. Maybe because the gang where just too dorky that I can’t take them seriously…. Oh well maybe it’s just me then … LOL

I wish I wrote this review earlier, I read too much after Drop Dead Demons that I lost all train of though on it. All I can remember is how unbelievably HILARIOUS this book was. Seriously, I was laughing out loud every two seconds.

Full review to come!
But for real, that ending, yo.


**Kind of but not really a SPOILERY theory**
I know why he's after her. Duhhhhhh. He's the Bellator. But he can Just go on because she has Ayden and he's fabulous, you feel me bruh?


Anyways, is it too selfish of me to already be demanding the third book??

Yeah, you read that right, currently reading! It's is on Amazon RIGHT NOW!!! I know it's supposed to be out tomorrow, but I decided to check on a whim before I went to sleep. AND NOW I HAVE IT! Guess I won't be sleeping tonight!

Random date 2 years ago at random time

Do you want to know what I love about A E Kirk?
They do not know the meaning of second book syndrome, they do not know the meaning a filler book.

Do you know why?
Because I got a kick ass sequel with jaw-dropping action, swoon worthy moments, laugh out loud dialogue and just all around amazing.

Our favorite characters are back and they are just better than ever. It's amazing how well they've developed over the course of the series. The ones we started with are not the ones we have now. They're better. Dear lord, I have even developed a liking towards Matthias (yes, even him).

The stakes are higher, the consequences are dire and we are in for one hell of a ride. The pacing was perfect: This went from demon slayer extraordinaire to national treasure hunter to the mummy returns to the Olympians. Like I said one hell of a ride.



I feel safe to say that if this is a trilogy things are looking up because it's been a while where I've read one that didn't have second book syndrome. The odds are in my favor. Please authors, I beg of you, don't let those words come back and bite me in the ass.

You know what happens (sometimes) when you have teenagers in a series? They ruin it! I enjoyed the first book so much I missed my stop because I was reading this on the train. I was excited to start the second book, lo and behold, it's drama fiesta.

I like Aurora, she funny and a bit spunky but she sure knows how to jump into conclusion. She swan dives into it , faster than you can say Jack Robinson.


She thinks the hex boys want to kill her, they say they don't, she overhears them and assumes they want to kill her, they say they don't, then she overhears them again and it just keeps happening. First off, if I think someone is trying to kill me , i'm packing my bags and moving or get plastic surgery or avoid them, I don't keep hanging out with them

Get it together, woman!

On the other hand this would have made a good RH, all these hot boys, make them older and bam, RH, they already have the RH-verse dynamic.

Well, this isn't ominous at all. I have a fellow book nerd to thank for this. She is HIGHLY selective with her stars for ratings. This book was one of those that she gave 5 stars to so I picked it up immediately. Unfortunately, picking up and reading it so fast has lead me to want this book more than I need air. Waiting for it actually has me ignoring other things like pretty much every other book that comes out between when I read it and when it finally comes out. If the Kirks need to see violence for me get an ARC I promise there is nothing I will not do to get it. You think I'm joking? Totally serious and I don't even need a dare. Alright, lets do this.

Drop Dead Demons continues with the Hex boys trying to protect Aurora from a cornucopia of demons. Aurora tries to keep her identity a secret (harhar). Let's add in Rose, the hot guy who will kill Aurora if she doesn't help him find some mysterious treasure. Trust issues, sneakiness, Gods, hot romance scenes, and hilarity ensue as the boys try to help Aurora find the treasure and hide her from everyone in mandatum society, which is not as do-goody as they all once believed.

The second installation of the Divinicus Nex series is just as hilarious as the first. We've got Aurora's witty sense of humor, Matthias and his snarky comments, Blake and his, er, Babeness as well as the rest of the crew. Albeit, the plot of this one definitely wasn't as good as the first, but with a whopping 500-something pages of hilarity, a girl can't really complain too much.

Unfortunately, the only reason this dropped from a 5 to a 4 star rating was the sheer bombardment of detail that was just absolutely unnecessary. Neither a cave nor a room, nor any surrounding should not take 2-3 paragraphs to describe. A simple description that gives us the basic image is as much detail as reader needs. There was a dark cave. That's all I need. I don't need to be told the exact location of the stalactites, pools etc. I literally skipped paragraphs at a time to avoid having to read the tedious descriptions. The other small factor that had me round down was the predictability of the book. There was no twist that I didn't see coming. Really, the book is fast paced and it's fantastic, but not getting a surprise here and there really takes away from the book. PUT ME ON MY TOES! THROW ME SOMETHING NEW!!

Overall though, I am SOSOSOOOOO looking forward to the next book. I'm usually not a huge fan of comedy, but this book, it's just written so casually and in a style that's really realatable to the average human being, I just can't get enough! My hear plummets at the thought that there Isn't even a release date, name, or cover for the next book. I NEED IT. GIMME GIMME.

*EDIT* June, 8th: I have just finished reading and... I want more!!!



*EDIT* September, 12th - When I saw this:


This was exactly my reaction:


Seriously, that date has to be wrong, right? I can't wait another year after I've been expecting it all summer!!!

April, 15th: OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!!! There is a cover, title and synopsis!!! I can't wait!

ACTUAL RATING: 4.5 STARS

PLOT - 4.5
CHARACTERS - 5
ROMANCE - 4.5
WRITING STYLE - 4.5
UNPUTDOWNABLE LEVEL - 4.5

VERY ORIGINAL. ACTION PACKED. AND SO, SO HILARIOUS.

If I had to vote for the most witty and enjoyable series, it would be Divinicus Nex Chronicles. NO KIDDING. I've never laughed so hard while reading a book!

This second installment is definitely longer than the first. (Demons at Deadnight has 64 chapters while this book has 118 chapters). One would assume it's gonna be a long, boring and tiresome read, but it's so far from that. It's full of adventure, twists, new characters (and new pets?) and more fun!!

Oh how I missed the clever and snarky Aurora, the smoking hot (and I mean literally!) Ayden, his hexy genius twin Jayden, the boy next door Tristan, the shy but cool Logan, and most of all Blake, the ultra macho man slash wanna be Knight in shining armor!

Aurora: He was tall, well-built. Broad shoulders.
Blake: Like me, babe?
Aurora: Not that big.
Blake: Yeah, didn't think so. No one ever is.

*I can just imagine his smug and satisfied look when he said that haha!*

I also love how Aurora and Ayden's relationship grows throughout the story! From Ayden being the falsies-pretend-boyfriend to realsies-official-boyfriend.

Ayden: Sounds like you need a hug which, being your official boyfriend, I'm contractually obligated to provide.

*swooooooooon level - 1000000000*

This book is so worth the wait!!! It's been quite a long time since I truly enjoyed reading a book. To be honest, this 2014 I've only read 5 books that I really, really liked. So thank God for this book and thank you Alyssa and Eileen! Keep writing!

So I waited two years for this. TWO YEARS!




I loved how surprisingly long this book turned out to be. And as expected, it was full of hilarious moments.

But. The book could have really benefited from more editing; it was a bit of a mess, I'm sorry to say. There might have been a biiiiit of an overkill with the non-stop action and disaster striking left and right, so the narration tended to be a tad repetitive at times. And Aurora, as adorable as she was, might have had a couple of really embarrassing moments of stupidity. And another gripe, there's a partial cliffhanger. I shudder to think how long it will take for the next book to come out.

But in the end, I did have a good time reading Drop Dead Demons. It wasn't deep or life-changing, but it was pure fun.

Поразительно... как авторы умудрились сохранить характеры полюбившихся героев и при этом так испохабить сюжет? Не, ну правда: демоны-демоны-демоны-шуточка-демоны-демоны-подземелье-демоны-демоны-поцелуй-демоны.
И все это растянуто на 600 страниц. 600! 118 глав, ё-маё! Притом сохранен все тот же бешеный темп, когда судорожно ищешь кнопку "стоп" где-то в своей читалке. Но если первая часть утомить попросту не успела, то тут...
В общем, одну звезду накидываю за любимчиков-чародеев.

И самая печаль, да: я была уверена, что это дилогия. Кто ввел меня в заблуждение, признавайтесь?))
Ладно. Продолжению быть. Очень надеюсь, что к его выходу я забуду или про утомительность второй книги, или вообще про существование серии.
Только расскажите потом, чем все закончилось.

OMG I'm so excited and THAT COVER IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!I want it now!

I FREAKING LOVE THIS SERIES.

You need this in your life. It's like a cross between two of my all time favorites, The Raven Boys, and the Charley Davidson series.

How can you possible say no to that combo?!?

[Olivia · Rating 3 out of 5]

HOLY CLIFFHANGER!! Alright Alright Alright! The Hex Boys are awsome!! The wity banter between all the characters was to die for!! (Maybe I am using too many exclamation points...) but I'm just sooo excited!! Cannot wait for the third book. Hurry up A&E
