And Business Is Good
No plan survives contact with the enemy.
Especially when the enemy has capabilities you didn't know about.
T'Chezz is upping the effort with the war and unleashing an unbound Demon on San Diego while Katie / Pandora and Calvin happen to be in town.
However, to save Calvin, Katie is going to have to divulge more abilities that could get back to Korbin.
With the special weapons taking a toll on his plans, T'Chezz finds out he isn't the only one who has new capabilities.
So, he decides to increase the burn.
Katie and Pandora are having to learn how to work together...and yet make sure that Korbin believes Katie isn't being taken on a ride by a Demon with centuries of guile under her belt.
Join Katie and Pandora as T'Chezz starts to understand the people of Earth don't want him.
NOTE: This book contains cursing. Perhaps humorous cursing, but cursing nevertheless. If this offends you, I don't suggest reading this book.

And Business Good by Michael Todd and Laurie Starkey is book three in the series. These books just keep getting better! Katie and her demon that possesses her body, Pandora, make an awesome duo! But right at the end, Pandora says something that blows my mind! What?!!! Can't wait to find out what this mean! Hurry with the next audible book! Lots of action, clever dialogue, the book is witty, humor scattered throughout, and love the characters! New characters added to the cast too!
Narrated by Emily Beresford and she is awesome!

I’m still not sure about these books, they are fun and fast paced, but they don’t always flow well. Katie/Pandora are developing into an interesting character, although sometimes their internal dialogue is unbelievably inane. I presume the author has done this as a contrast to the violence of the Demons, but he needs to think of some better topics. I also found the amount of time they spent trying to talk the demons to death became a bit tedious.

This is not TKG, nor should you expect it to be...
I swear that there are times I feel like I should go around to every TKG author's non-TKG books pages and start every review with the same title as this one. It is MIND BOGGLING how often I see complaints that "Book X" is nothing like TKG.
Here's my thing - if all their books were about TQB and company, life would become very boring, very quick, and we would miss out on AWESOMENESS like PBtD!
I am loving this series and basically crushing on Katie/Pandora, hard. I can hear Pandora in my head, giggling hysterically and saying, "you said hard!" She's a very old demon with the sense of humor, and libido, of a teenage boy. And you are going to love her, AND her host, Katie. These books are a fun romp between some very serious moments...a well-paced journey with a lot of laughter and some heavy tears.
If I had to find something to complain about, it would actually be something that MAY just be my paranoia raisng its ugly head: for some reason, when I am reading this series, I am almost constantly waiting for George R.R. Martin's shoe to drop into this universe. I am convinced that our beloved authors are just biding their time, waiting to kill off someone else on the team in the most tragic way possible.
Not that I'd stop reading if they did...I'm as addicted to this series as Pandora is to lace underthings, and I'm not about to pass up on a fix!

First time reading this kinda stuff from this author.... I thought the first book was a little too blase and way too calm about everything. There's no processing time, people are just all magically fine with their lot in life.
That said, I continued with the series, and am extremely glad I did - I don't know why the first book was portrayed the way it is, but the rest of the series actually show human emotion over everything. It made me realize that this first book was maybe just that - the first book in this genre for this author. All I can say is that it quickly loses that "new" feeling and becomes a series that you just can't put down.

Anderle (and friends) do it again!
Katie and Pandora Rock! (While she is no Bethany Ann, lol, she is DEFINITELY awesome.) Hope to see more strong woman/ demon pairs in future. While the guys seem great too, I jumped into the series with this book, so my perceptions of all may change. I intend to read the rest asap. : ) Another great series from Michael Anderle, with another cool writer ( the man seems extraordinarily lucky in that department)! Keep up the great work folks, and keep entertaining us with your wonderful imaginations.

Love this series!!
Nothing like humans running around with demons inside them to jumpstart your day! This series has some real potential for spin-offs, so looking forward to seeing what you guys do with that. These characters are great and the story is kickass good. Recommended for all those who aren't afraid of reality in your life. Got to wonder if this doesn't smack of some truth floating around out there. Oh, and by the way, I I never look at chicken nuggets the same way again. Keep up the great work!

Well hell
Wow our Katie is growing up so fast and kicking ass and takin names. I loved the fight scene with the demon. I also like the since Katie/Pandora arrived on the scene everyone is learning to not be as afraid of working with their demons.
I have always enjoyed your author notes but oh my god I laughed so hard when I read your Starbucks adventure.
Great job yous, can't wait for the next book.

Another great adventure
If you like action, adventure, humor, and creative cussing, this is the series for you. As with the first 2 books of this series, the enrichment of the characters continue. We get to see more of what makes Korbin tick. And Calvin gets closer to his inner demon in ways he'd never considered. Katie and Pandora continue to work together and accomplishing their goals while continuing their humorous disagreements. Looking forward to the next book.

In Love
I have to say the chemistry between Katie and Pandora is even better than that of Bethany Anne. Some may disagree but I now officially put Katie up beside Bethany Anne as a favorite character. I have no problem putting other books on hold to read Katie's latest adventures. Looking forward to reading the next book.

Thank You!
After book 2, I was worried there would be standard issued check sheet of yup, got that, yup, got that....you did not do that. I am not sure HOW you are going to be able to keep this up for the number expected in this series, but I’m going to keep reading till I find it!

Katie\Pandora Rule
Katie's power is increasing even more than Pandora's enhancements. What is she becoming? I like the action and snarky humor. Katie is a very strong character.
Korbin, her boss, isn't sure if she has been taken over by her demon or not. Katie\Pandora seem more comfortable with their symbiosis. I look forward to the next book.

The adventure continues
Ok I love when the main character is a strong female and I will admit the lead character is strong. And so are her companions.
I can't wait for the next edition!
Full of fun and full of excitement.
Question oh yes I have questions..

Awesome story
Love Katie. She is morphing. Love the interaction with Calvin. Loved Calvin's interactions with the demon. Can more of the others demon become active? Pandora is a hoot. Mornin is breaking out of his shell, love it.

Gets better with each book
Katie/Pandora gets better with each book. Even though she is "Damned" she sticks to her principles and convinced her demon to agree. Damon good book, can't wait for the next book.

Great read!!
Demons are being summoned by someone and they need to find out who. These demons are different they do not need a body to attach to. They are strong and harder to kill or send back to hell. Read it you will not be sorry!!

Good stuff
I have been marathon reading this series and can find almost nothing to complain about. Almost a first for me. Now if the authors would stop using clip instead of magazine my OCD would be so much happier.

A little intrigue
There is an ever expanding circle of allies and friends, more demons to kills and banish, and - of course - people to save. Katie and Pandora are strengthening their bond and pushing the limits.
Another amazing novel in the series. It’s offical: I’m addicted!

Serious Bad-assery continues, as does the developing connection between Kate and Pandora.
If you liked the previous two, you'll like this one. If you haven't even read the previous ones, you should. This series carries a lot of development from book to book.

Apart from the in-activity and trying to talk the demon to death on the second go-round. I am very interested in the new developments wrt Katie’s true nature/origins.

A Kick Ass Female Lead
I love books where the woman is the lead and she is kick ass. This has turned into a great new series and I am looking forward to finding out more.

Loving this series
Katie is a great character and fits the story so well. Even though she's a demon you really connect with Pandora. Looking forward to the next fix.

Funny!
I have laughed so much in reading these first three books. I love the characters, especially Pandora. Will definitely keep reading however many books you two will write.
