Rate this book
The War of the Damned is upon us, so be careful who you follow. It might be the last decision you ever make.

Three months ago there was a demon invasion. Due to that, the world has been dealing with changes in just who the enemy really is.

While old rules are thrown aside.

The mercenary named Katie (or KatieDora by some) is trying to take a much-needed vacation.

Unfortunately, both friends and foes want her in the worst possible way.

Katie's Killers are facing a new reality, one where they are needed more because the world's eyes have just been uncovered.

Sometimes it just doesn't pay to get up in the morning.

Scroll back to the top and click “Read for Free” or “Buy Now,” and kick back for a fun supernatural action-packed adventure that will have you yelling for the good guys and laughing at the arguments between Katie and…her.

This story continues where the previous series Protected By The Damned finished and for two thirds of the book I was enjoying more than any of those books, then the story took a turn I found a bit strange. There then followed the requisite big battle with numerous demons.
Overall this was a good read and although the story tailed off towards the end, I would still have given four stars.
However there were a couple of things about the author that I found irritating. First is the fascination he has for the size of Katie's breasts and secondly the number of times he seemed to be promoting ”Chick-Fil-A”. This is a company that wishes to suppress equal rights and is anti LGBT, I’m afraid I didn’t enjoy repeatedly reading how wonderful they are.

Great I'm hooked on another series... Unusual plot line, the primary protagonist is possessed by the Lilith Satan's wife. (The idea that Satan has a wife is interesting in and of itself, though they are using Pandora (typically the wife of Hades not Satan) as the Demon on the good side rather than Lilith (who is more often tied to Christian religion). But it worked for me. I actually read most of this in a day as I'd opened the book by mistake back in July. Fast moving, almost no sex, decent action, decent character development. What's not to like?

The next chapter

The works has been shown the previously hidden world of demons. The War of the Damned has become public.

There are some puzzling things, and not only for humans and Damned, but also for the demons. There are glimpses and clues of things yet to come. I’m loving the irony, sarcasm, ass-kicking, and bravery that is displayed by humans and Damned alike.

The quality of writing is exceptional, with realistic characters and realistic casualties. There is no sugar-coating the dangers, and I find it fascinating.

Non-stop action!

Katie is on the vacation from hell, literally. There is subterfuge and demon killing of my. From the first page to re last, the witty dialog internal and external never stops. I've fallen for Pandora and killing demons is my new favorite pass time. Go Katedora!! Yea that's a thing

Finally...

...starting to get answers about what makes Katie so "special". I don't know if this series was complete the last time I read it, but this time I definitely hope to hit the Damien and Ella books on the way. To me, this is typical MA material--entertaining on many levels.

Really great story

Katie is evolving into a stronger more kick ads with a closer connection to Pandora. All of her killers are moving on as they grow to fight the good fight. An interesting time ahead for all. Curious to see where this goes.

Superb!

Terrific start to the new arc. Lots of fun goings-on, good character development and a great ending. Don’t know how Anderle continues to create these great stories but they are not to be missed.

I Love This Series! Katie/Pandora are always fun and kick-ass. I see a different path going on for her ... International kicking butt and taking names later. You really had me going when the military got involved on a more personal level. Well Done Again! I'm looking forward to the next book in this Arc.

Great beginning to new series.

Katie and team are still kicking demon butts, but with even more military assistants (no spoilers) I suggest reading the eight books in the first series, but you could potentially start here

Another great story

Lots of demons getting beat on, and lots of donuts being scarfed down. Read the previous series and catch up!

Wonderful New Start

I really enjoyed the start of this new arc. Of course nothing in our world is perfect and this story reflects that nicely. Looking forward to reading more.

Review of the whole series:

War of the Damned is the continuation of the adventures of Katie and Pandora which started in the Protected by the Damned series. It contains eight books in all and none of them got less than 4 out of 5 stars from me. Actually the last got a 5 star rating because I really loved how Katie and Pandora stuck it to the demons in that one.

This series continues in much the same spirit as the first series. The good parts from that series is taken over into this one. There’s Katie and Pandora of course with their ass kicking and bantering. A lot of her old friends are there as well although they are generally playing second fiddle to Katie in this series. One of my new favorites is a certain, unusually trustworthy army general. However, make no mistake about it, Katie is the boss in this series.

As the name of the series implies the stakes and action is taken to the next level in this series. It is now an outright war against the demons. The world has been made aware that there are things that go bump in the night and Katie is becoming a public, very public, person. Katie, as well as Pandora, also develops quite a lot in this series. Both as a person and as far as her powers go. The latter is of course causing the demons some slight setbacks.

One thing that is, mostly, quite fun reading in this series is the demon side of things. How they banter among themselves, plot, scheme and still usually gets some painful instrument showed up their rectum by Katie & Co.

In addition to the damned and the usual demons we get a few additional interesting characters ranging from higher level demons to leviathans and even to Lucifer himself. The latter being the real deal, as in The Devil, Satan etc…, and not the silly playboy in the TV-show of course.

As with the previous series the writing is on the light, more humorous, side. The Dresden Files quality it is not, but it is a fun and enjoyable read. No annoying love triangle which is a plus. As usual when Anderle (although I’m sure these books are mostly written by Michael Todd) and his “cronies” are involved the language is … “colorful”. It doesn’t disturb me one bit but those easily offended people who takes offence from some adult language should probably read some other books.

There are some less good parts throughout the series as well of course. Like a few dumbass military officers who don’t mind endangering humanity for their own personal gain, or the most important place on the planet being guarded by a handful (literally) of men only. The most cringe-worthy part was probably when the author dragged in Schwarzenegger and tried to show off or be funny or something with dumbass phrases like “Ich komme wieder”. That was a real low.

However, on the whole it I had great fun reading this series. The first book in the next series, War of the Angels, is already in the queue on my tablet.

More Katie and Pandora

I read these out of order. I'm having fun. These read like a Stephanie Plum book, with more blood. This one is just as good as the previous series.

What Am I?

Katie is evolving. She struggles to figure out what she is. Pandora is evolving as well, as she comes to terms with her feelings of family for Katie and the killers. I like the action, snarky humor, and mystery about what Katie is. I look forward to the next book.

It was a great escape. For some reason it started out really slow and I just wasn't sure the direction it was going. I finally got into it and the story really started to grab my attention. I like this author writing and the characters are very real with real problems. After awhile the battle scenes got repetitive but that was after constant reading.
