Demon Hunter

Silver Legacy #1

by Linda Kay Silva

Demon Hunter takes us to the most haunted city in the Savannah, Georgia where demons are everywhere, and Denny Silver just discovered that it is her job to hunt and destroy them. The only problem is, Denny doesn’t WANT to be a demon hunter. It doesn’t fit into her life plans, but suddenly, she uncovers a family legacy that requires her to be one...a legacy that has left her mother in a catatonic state, her brother in prison, her oldest sister in a convent, and her younger sister in terrible danger. With only Denny left to inherit the legacy, she must learn how to balance both worlds.

When Denny’s younger sister becomes mixed up with a demon, Denny Silver becomes the most reluctant of demon hunters who finds herself thrust into the sinister and shadowy world of demonic beings roaming our cities and wreaking havoc wherever they go. Only by becoming something she doesn't want to be can Denny protect not only her family, but other she truly cares about.

Only by embracing her own darkness can Denny keep her family in the light and the city of Savannah from darkness.

Reviews

[Nisi · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm giving this four stars because I really enjoyed the storyline which was interesting and kept me engaged. A fun story, but the writing/editing was/were ~off~.

Characters' speech and some behaviors are heavily cliche'-laden (lesbian one-liners). Poor editing and confusing contradictions (possibly editing issues) were very distracting and, at times, made me rant. Frequent sloppiness. Also, a big weakness was the attempt to capture dialect, apparently only used with African-American characters (???)... Actually quite uncomfortable as the author too-frequently employed stereotypical phrasing; and, too often, characters seemed to "forget" their dialect and slip into the Queen's English.

3.5 stars. The author put a lot of thought into the background of the family, the paranormal world, and the supporting characters. Having a love interest as a ghost was pretty unique and Denny is an interesting, strong character. I enjoyed the read. I felt like the ending was rushed some, especially regarding Denny's girlfriend. It made me curious as to what happens in the next book.

I really tried to keep going with this story but the writting style isn't helping, it feels to me like an amateur fanfic making the story lacking of the appeal i look for.
