Lizzie Brown would like to have one normal date. Instead, she gets a towering inferno with a her long-lost dad is a fallen angel in danger of becoming a demon. Not good. Especially since she’s a demon slayer.Her grandma advises her to stay out of it. Her sexy-as-sin shape-shifter boyfriend would much rather she devote her attention to more carnal pursuits. And her dog’s one demand is for more bacon. After all, he can’t train his pet dragon on an empty stomach.But Lizzie knows there’s no other choice but to hop on her Harley and help her dad—even if the search for the truth brings a bad-boy slayer back into her life and leads her into the middle of a war to end all wars.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Angie Fox writes sweet, fun, action-packed mysteries. Her characters are clever and fearless, but in real life, Angie is afraid of basements, bees, and going up stairs when it is dark behind her. Let’s face it. Angie wouldn’t last five minutes in one of her books.
Angie is best known for her SOUTHERN SPIRITS™ mysteries, and for her ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER books.
2.5 - 3 stars. The Last of the Demon Slayers is book 4 in the Demon Slayer series. This wasn't my favorite. There isn't anything wrong with it. I think I am just rating it against the other books in the series and I liked those more. It just didn't grip me as much as the others. The narration was really good though.
Lizzie meets her dad in a column of fire, and that's just the beginning. He's in servitude to the Earl of Hell, and this is not a deal he wants. In fact, he wants his demon-slayer daughter to help him get out of his deal. Lizzie, Dimitri, and the biker witches set off cross-country to save Lizzie's biological dad. Along with her dog, Pirate, and a lovable, adolescent dragon, Flappy, Lizzie once again travels to Hell and back.
The story is entertaining and well-written, with loads of humor. The reason it isn't five stars is that Lizzie hasn't learned the lessons one thought she had learned by the end of the third book. It's like she learns them, then immediately forgets them when the next book comes around. Her poor-little-me routine is starting to wear thin. I have high hopes for the next book, though, just looking at the title. I'm hoping the lessons stick this time.
I really do enjoy this series, even though Lizzy drives me crazy. I completely understood her need to help her dad and her need to connect and come to terms with his abandonment, but I wished she would have heeded everyone's advice. She is always so sure what's best for them, but gets angry when they do the same with her.
Lizzy has never met her biological father, never heard anything about him, but when he shows up in a sneaky way to ask her for help, she doesn't hesitate to get everyone to drop everything and run off to help him. The one good thing is she learns she is more special than she thought and Max helps her learn she isn't as alone as she thought. I just wish she would stop trying to tell Dimitri what he needs and maybe she wouldn't be as annoying at times.
The Red Skulls are still a hoot, but always sad to read when they loose one.
Lizzie Brown, Demon Slayer, meets her biological father and has to save him from Zatar, the Earl of Hell. It turns out that Lizzie, on her father's side, is half angel (well, fallen angel, but .. details). She still hasn't had her first official "date" with her smoking-hot griffin-changer boyfriend Dimitri. Her talking dog, Pirate, is trying to teach Flappy, the orphan dragon, to do tricks. And Grandma and the Red Skull gang of biker witches is still tagging along everywhere Lizzie goes. So what else is new?
Another great book in the series. I thought maybe things would be a bit calmer in this book, but boy was I wrong. There is so much going on it's not stop action you can't put this book down once you pick it up.
The book starts with Lizzie and the Red Skulls finding a new place to set up shop and live. It true Lizzie fashion as soon as she shows up, she knows things aren't right. It doesn't take long her to figure out why things feel off.
This adventure takes so many crazy turns it's mind blowing. Lizzie has to find her Dad in order to save him, and in order to save him she needs Max's help. No one is excited about Max joining the group but they can't say no. In order to make things right Lizzie needs to take a trip to purgatory to essentially save everyone. Should she fail her mission in purgatory nothing would ever be the same.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has started this series and anyone who love a good action packed fantasy book.
Stunningly brilliant! Helping family should be easy, but not when your angel dad is turning into a demon. As if that wasn't enough there's the dragon, her talking dog, her shifter boyfriend and the biker witches to keep under control. Great funny series.
Didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. The heroine's penchant for going against her best interests (even when the fate of the world is not in her hands) is starting to grate on my nerves. I'll continue with the series but I think I need a break at this point.
Each book ends well, with just enough “what could happen next”. This ending is sweet and, thankfully, exactly as it should have been without the drama of an “I don’t deserve this”
This is the 4th entry in the Demon Slayer series by Angie Fox where Lizzie tries to rescue her father from the forces of evil. I thought it was a pretty average entry in the series although it did have a good ending that opened several possibilities for the next book. The story fun and imaginative.
Wonderful. Blessings and tragedy as Lizzie and Dimitri have another fight on their hands. I love the characters because they're far from perfect, and the humour is spot on.
In this book Lizzy Brown’s father askeds the demon slayer for help. he made a deal with the wrong demon. Now Lizzy must use every trick and ally she’s ever learned and found, to rescue her dad.
This is an excellent series!! From the first bumbling attempt to kill a demon to the systematic fight for survival totally engrossed me start to finish and has whet my appetite for the rest!!
In The Last of the Demon Slayers, by Angie Fox, Lizzie Brown, her Griffin lover Dimitri, as well as her talking dog Pirate, his tag-a-along dragon Flappy, and the Geriatric Biker Witches called the Red Skull Witches, all have returned to the states and are now trying to settle down in their former bar called Big Nose Kate’s.
Naturally, when it comes to Lizzie and crew, nothing can go right or remain calm for very long. Ever since she turned 30 and was chosen to be one of the last demon slayers, things have a way of getting out of hand quickly. So, it’s really no surprise to anyone who has followed this series from the start to learn that Lizzie’s birth father, Xavier, who she’s never met, would suddenly show up in a cloud of sulfur and asks for Lizzie’s help while at the same time attempting to compel her to do his bidding.
This leads to a cross country adventure through the Faery roads that reunites Lizzie and Crew with Max Devereaux the hunter who is one of the better characters of this series. How can you not like Max? He eats demons and isn’t afraid of chirping back and forth with Dimitri who at times I want to throttle with his over possessiveness. Max and Lizzie are good at working together and in this story, that doesn’t change except for the fact that he might have found a love interest.
You really have to feel for Lizzie because of who her parents are. Her mother Phoenix tried to drag her into hell after giving up her destiny of being the next demon slayer. Now, her father, the asshat, really makes you feel for Lizzie after she risks her life and those of her friends to save him from a demon and then he walks away because he just doesn’t care.
We also learn some stunning news with the introduction of Roxie, who is also a demon slayer. There goes the idea that Lizzie is the last demon slayer theory. We also learn a little secret about Lizzie’s heritage as well as witness a bit of her powers in action against a Major Demon who wants to kill her because she is different from the rest of the demon slayers.
This is one of those series where the sub-characters actually make the story that much better. You have to laugh at Lizzie’s grandmother and crews exploits when they battle demons of all flavors as well as Pirate’s fun with Flappy.
I’m hoping that this series continues to another book since it appears that Ms Fox is now self-publishing her stories. But, I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t since things kind of changed at the end of the story which I shall not spoil. Lizzie’s future looks bright knowing that she’s no longer the only demon slayer in existence and maybe, just maybe, it's time for her to reunite with the only true mother she has.
Last of the Demon Slayers is the 4th in Ms. Fox’s Demon Slayer series staring Lizzie Brown. Vacations are great and Lizzie and the Red Skull Witches her talking Jack Russell Pirate and their adopted dragon Flappy all lounged at the Greek Estate of her Griffin Shape Shifting boyfriend Dimitri, but now it’s life back in the fast lane so Harley’s to the ground, but when she gets a frantic call for help from her biological dad, things go to hades in a handbasket, literally. Angie Fox first caught my attention because she’s a local author here in my home town of St. Louis Missouri and I always like to patronize locals so I bought her first book “The Accidental Demon Slayer” and I never stopped laughing unless I was holding my breath waiting for the next awful thing to happen to poor Lizzie and then when the dog starts to talk, well let’s just say it’s been a true love affair ever since. And in this her latest in the life and times of Lizzie Brown she won’t let you down either and although the plot is straight out of Grimm’s Fairy Tales for adults she leads us down the merry path believing every word, it’s like she puts a hex on us. Then there’s her dialogue, be prepared for full belly roll laughs when you get a load of what Pirate says, it’s almost like she can get inside the dog’s head and really listen to him, the rest of the narrative is easy to read everyday jargon. Her characters are the real stars of the show they each have their personalities and she spotlights each and every one. Her heroine Lizzie is a one of a kind character one you want to be like but knowing what she goes through everyday of her life don’t want anything to do with either. Yes this is a romance and it’s a doozie and the love scenes are hot and spicy when demon slayer meets griffin lip locked and raring to go and even though they’re enough to light your socks on fire I don’t think any true romance fan would find anything offensive. If this is your first introduction to Lizzie, I know you’ll do yourself a favor and order the backlist and if you’re a true Lizzie fan well you’ll definitely get your money’s worth. Kudos Ms. Fox for one of the best paranormal series out there.
This was another zany installment of the Demon Slayer series. Pretty much more of the same – wild and crazy granny bikers, steamy hot Dimitri sizzle (complete with smut), and Lizzie doubting herself while kicking butt as a demon slayer. The bonuses in this book were the return of Max (who I really like), seeing Max with a girl (that is not Lizzie), and the super sappy ending. If you know the title of the next book, then you’re already spoiled, just like I was.
After the drama in Greece, Lizzie and Dimitri (and their gang of bikers and fairy and dogs and dragon and… I think that’s it) head back to America to set up a new place to live (a bar, of course). Needless to say, things never go right for poor Lizzie and Dimitri, so planning a date night should never have even been attempted. All hell breaks loose and Lizzie ends up discovering her father and her kind of random heritage. The father storyline really made me mad, but otherwise the book was a pretty solid read. There is a lot of Lizzie falling into things and trying to stop her inner doubter from getting in the way.
I’m eager to see where Lizzie and Dimitri end up, because their relationship is pretty much why I read these books. Also, I want more Max. He’s such an interesting character and we really don’t get to see and hear enough from him.
I enjoyed reading this book but I am still having issues with the writing. At times I seriously feel like I skipped paragraphs, and I go back to missing something. One minute they will be in one place and then there is another. I don't need a full description of how they get there but usually there is a chapter break or some mention of movement. Also here are some other areas that bothered me, they contain SPOILERS.
When Lizzie and her dad get back from purgatory, Dimitri is angry at her and demands to know where she was. Then they get into an agreement and have sex and she never tells him where she went, yet he knew. If someone had already told him where she went then why did he ask where had she gone? Dimitri and Lizzie also bother me as a couple. Do they ever talk? Lizzie's insecurities regarding the relationship are getting annoying as well. Same concerns over and over... Yet now she's agreed to marry him. Also is Max knew Roxie was alive, why did he say he needed a slayer and want LIzzie? Perhaps he'd already asked her..
What I do like was the action. I really enjoyed it when Lizzie was out on her own a bit and not leaning on grandma or Dimitri. I haven't liked how Lizzie has pulled herself from her adoptive parents. Hopefully they can become part of her life some more.
This was a ton of fun. I really do enjoy this series quite a bit. I felt that Lizzie was more evolved (which was great) after the last novel and the world building was stronger. Though the plot was pretty simple, it served the character and the series well. It was good to see Lizzie interacting in a new way with her new-found father and I liked the resolution to their relationship quite a lot.
The "big bad" really isn't as scary in this one as the last. I'm not sure if it's because his time on the stage was really short or if it was because I was really nervous about Lizzie's dad. I was happy to see Max back, but Dimitri bores me silly. Maybe its because he's so perfect. Hrmm...not sure...but he bores me.
I honestly cannot wait for the next one. I'm hooked on the series and so glad I discovered it.
Well I've talked about Lizzie and Dimitri in the last review so won't go over them again. I liked this It was as all the previous books a really fun read. Oh don't get me wrong there is some serious stuff going on and some moments you still think Lizzie just doesn't quite get it. But this time the not getting it is about her desire for a permanet relationship in her life.
Her mom was a complete and total bust as a mom. Her Dad - well I won't spoil the book. Can kind of understand the abandoned child wanting a biological parent to want her but in her desire to have a relationship with one of them she over looks the permanet relationships she has.
It was nice to see old friends that weren't in the last one and find out more about her Grandma. Let's just say that Lizzie is one powerful demon slayer. And maybe she's starting to get her emotional stuff sorted out.
The latest installment in the Demon Slayer series is like running into a old friend and catching up over the weekend.
Lizzie meets her father for the first time and learns more about her biological heritage. She struggles with her feelings about being put up for adoption as a baby. Her struggle to be accepted leads her into some difficult spots (hell) and her fear of rejection doesn't always allow her to accept the help being offered to her. It just shows you, no matter how old you are, you still have to struggle sometimes to grow up and accept things for what they truly are.
The characters in this series are not static, but struggling to grow through the difficult circumstances and events of their lives. Sometimes they move forward and, like in life, sometimes they step back -- but they are all fighting for their chance to be happy.
