I can't get over how fast this year has flown. The holidays are right around the corner and that is my favorite time of year. This year is going to be super exciting because of the grandbaby. :)
This weeks theme: Demons
Demon's Fever by T. F. Walsh - 4 Stars ****
After losing her dishwasher job, Cary Stone finds herself
broke and homeless. And, oh yeah, she's also a half-demon completely alone in
the world. Awesome. So when she's offered a job to hunt demons at Argos Inc.,
she jumps at the chance to get a new lease on life. But in order to keep the
job, she has to pass a series of tests.
Failing isn't an option as Cary has to do whatever it takes
to nail this opportunity. And then there is the hotshot demon hunter that is
sexy motivation to reach her goal... but if he knew she what she really was,
he'd want her dead. Can things get any worse?
Levi Walker is pissed off. Seriously. After being the best
demon hunter at Argos Inc. since forever, they want to screw him by not paying
him for the jobs? Nope, Levi decides it's time to go. Or at least it was until
a hunt he's on spins wildly out of control and causes a catastrophic loss...and
everyone at Argos blames Levi. Now faced with being sued for the damage, Levi
begins pursuing the evidence to clear his name. Jumping right into the fray,
Levi soon finds himself in mortal danger. But he's a fighter who'll battle
until the end...which may come sooner rather than later, now that he's met a
beautiful and mysterious hunter at Argos and can barely keep his mind on the
job.
Will Levi stay alive long enough to find the proof to clear
his name and leave Argos for good or will Cary prove to be the sexy and
dangerous distraction that he just can't ignore?
Never Save a Demon by J. D. Brown - 4 Stars ****
The rules for demon slaying are simple.
Rule #1: Never save a demon’s life.
… Oops.
Lyn Conway is a hot mess. She’s past due on her rent, can’t
get clients to take her paranormal investigations business seriously, and … Oh
yeah, she’s a demon hunter who broke the ultimate rule. She didn’t mean to save
a demon’s life. She thought she was saving a cute guy from a horrific attack.
But now?
Sam. Won’t. Die.
That is, he won’t die until she does.
Being bound to a gorgeous demon isn’t all that bad, until
women who look suspiciously similar to Lyn start dropping dead with a demonic
seal carved into their flesh. The tables have turned. The hunter is being
hunted. Fortunately, Lyn lives with her number one suspect.
City of Demons by Debbie Cassidy - 4 Stars ****
If Buffy and Angel could have banged without him going
all evil, then we would have had Wilomena Bastion.
Dragons suck, like literally suck the life out of you if
you let them. Trick is not to look them directly in the eyes, like ever. So,
the day Wila finds herself staring into the most dangerous Draconi’s pretty,
emerald peepers, she knows she’s royally fucked.
No one said saving a bunch of kids from being served up
as treats to the dragon liege was going to be easy. Options are
limited—immediate execution or servitude, and Wila prefers to have her head
remain firmly on her shoulders.
Now, the self-professed dark avenger must work to bring
down a resistance of demons hell-bent on making life difficult for the dragon
liege. And, if that wasn’t bad enough, her new position comes with a partner,
the dragon liege’s favoured demon enforcer; a creature of fire, fury and
washboard abs who—let’s face it—is just gonna cramp her style.
With the help of a ghostly receptionist, a talking dog
and the thing that lives in the basement, Wila will be forced to take on a most
dangerous task. It looks like some serious brooding is on the menu, because for
the first time in forever, Wila isn’t sure she’s up to the job.
A city filled with monsters needs a woman who can kick
ass, and Wilomena Bastion is just the gal for the job.
Demons at Deadnight by A & E Kirk - 3 Stars ***
For seventeen-year-old Aurora Lahey, survival is a
lifestyle.
DEMONIC DESTINY
Aurora has the crappiest superpower on the planet. And it’s
just unleashed a hit squad from hell. Demons are on the hunt, salivating to
carve her carcass into confetti.
CHARISMATIC KILLERS
The Hex Boys—mysterious, hunky, and notorious for their
trails of destruction—have the answers Aurora needs to survive. But their
overload of deadly secrets and suspicious motives makes trusting them a
potentially fatal move.
LETHAL ALLIES
The battle to save her family, herself, and stop demonic
domination may cost Aurora everything worth living for, and force her to reveal
her own dark secrets. But no worries. She needs the Hex Boys to pull this off,
and, chances are, teaming up with these guys will get her killed anyway.
A Demon's Blade by C.C. English-Rose - 3 Stars ***
Forged in flames, anointed in blood... A Demon's Blade.
When Mona was six years old, she witnessed the death of her
mother… by a Demon. Mona was told what she saw was impossible, but she always
knew the truth, nothing would convince her otherwise; not even pesky little
things like doctors or psychologists.
It’s been twelve years, eight foster homes, five schools and
two crappy part-time jobs since then, but now the monsters are back, and
they’re everywhere.
Suddenly Mona finds herself in a world which she never knew
existed and hunted by a creature like the one plaguing her nightmares.
Luckily, Mona isn’t alone. But will the help of her new
friends be enough to save her?
That's a wrap on my week of reading. I hope you are reading something great.
As always, thanks for stopping by.
