Demon Slayer #3
A Tale of Two Demon Slayers
Last month, I was a single preschool teacher whose greatest thrill consisted of color-coding my lesson plans. That was before I learned I was a slayer. Now it's up to me to face curse-hurling imps, vengeful demons and any other supernatural uglies that crop up. And to top it off, a hunk of a shape-shifting griffin has invited me to Greece to meet his family.
But it's not all sun sand and ouzo. Someone has created a dark-magic version of me with my powers and my knowledge--and it wants to kill me and everyone I know. Of course this evil twin doesn't have Grandma's gang of biker witches a talking Jack Russell terrier or an eccentric necromancer on its side. In the ultimate showdown for survival, may the best demon slayer win.

My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.
I’ve really fallen in love with the Demon Slayer series by Angie Fox. Ever since I listened to the first book, I’ve just been in love with the characters. In this series, we have Lizzie, a former kindergarten teacher turned demon slayer. She didn’t know anything about magic or demons until her thirtieth birthday. Her grandmother is a witch and a member of biker gang of witches called The Red Skulls. This gang might be full of geriatric old people, but I will tell you, that isn’t slowing down this group of witches. Oh, once Lizzie got her powers, her Jack Russell Terrier can now speak to her. He’s really a lot of fun and my favorite part of this series. I would also be remiss to leave out Dimitri. The really hot love interest of LIzzie, who’s also a griffin.
In this story, Lizzie and Dimitri are off to Greece for some rest and relaxation. It is also supposed to let Dimitri spend some time with his sisters. He hasn’t spent any time with them since we met him. They haven’t been healthy and seem to be getting worse. They are losing their magic. Dimitri and Lizzie are looking to find out the cause of this magic loss. There is also two griffins from another clan that are sworn to help protect Dimitri’s clan, Amara and Talos. The problem is that Amara is Dimitri’s former fiancee. So, you know there are going to be issues there, even if it is already over.
Lizzie’s grandmother and her gang show up to help with the protections on the property (you have to have some suspension of disbelief in a large group of elderly, chaotic biker witches showing up in Greece with their Harleys, but it’s all good. LOL). The Red Skulls proceed to do what they do best, cause havoc and destroy the place the property. They have no concern just moving in and making themselves at home.
Lizzie also gets some help in another way too. Her grandmother gets her a real trainer, which is something that Lizzie really needs. Since she didn’t have her mother to help teach her about being a demon slayer, she’s way behind on her training. Let’s just say that Rochmort is a very interesting character. He works for the Department of Intramagical Matters Lost Souls Outreach Program. He’s also a necromancer. He has no concept of pop culture either, which we learn when Lizzie quotes Yoda.
As I said, Pirate is a favorite character of mine. The little dog talks nonstop and has some really funny lines in this series. Here, he finds a dragon egg. After it hatches, he’s determined that he needs a pet and that he should get to keep it. He names if Flappy. LOL
Narration
I love Tavia Gilbert’s narration of this series. I feel she does a great job with the crazy biker gang voices, not to mention Pirate, the terrier. Then when you add in the calm and collected griffins. Then there is Lizzie and here altered swear words. I really love her pacing and how it varies a lot depending on the scene. If you’ve never listened to this narrator, I highly recommend her. You can try her with this series or Jeaniene Frost’s books among others.

I think I like the switch in narrator, I found the over the top southern drawl of the first narrator, Lyssa Graham, a bit grating; not so with this narrator. However, this narrator has an affected voice for the lead male that I can't decide if I like or not. it's not the voice that goes with the character in my head.
These are ok books but not particularly compelling. I find big jumps in logic that aren't well explained, and sometimes the dialog is a bit... jejune. Several times in this book I felt like the character growth was obviously forced, as if the author wasn't comfortable writing the self actualization stuff.
Maybe it's just me trying to get used to a new narrator.

Lizzie is going to Greece to have a holiday with her Gryphon boyfriend in his ancestral home - while Dimitri can finally look to a future with his family and clan now the curse has been lifted
But peace is quickly menaced by an ominous prediction of Lizzie’s death. Oh and Dimitri’ ex who raises some disturbing questions about where Lizzie actually fits in his world.
This is one of this books that surprises me. The first two books of this series have… not been my favourite series, been often quite simplistic and sidelining just about everything that made this book so fascinating - like the biker witches
And a fair bit of that continues - the biker witches are still just a vague background group who don’t serve a great deal of purpose except to be the world’s worst house guests just so Lizzie can feel super super worried.
But it does equally feed quite interestingly into Lizzie’s conflict over just how much Dimitri has done for her, sacrificed for her et al. Which is an interesting element of self-reflection especially from a character who has spent most of her story so far being understandably self-absorbed. I mean this isn’t a character flaw on Lizzie’s part because she’s obviously gone through a lot, being a little self-focused makes sense. I don’t begrudge her a second of this because that’s natural, nor do I think her resisting further revelations or her objecting to anything stopping her having a break, just a brief break. This is a reasonable, human reaction. And it’s equally reasonable for her to, when she has a bit of break, to reflect on that and think that maybe the people around her have done a lot for her. I kind of think that the Witches deserve more of this reflection and realisation than Dimitri. But the whole conflict and internal debate is really well done.
I think that the book kind of misses what Lizzie did for them - saving the witches and releasing Dmitri’s family from a curse that was killing his sisters and destroying his family and future. I mean this whole narrative kind of misses that every side character would actually be dead if it weren’t for Lizzie. The balance isn’t all one way- and I think that this is pushed at least in part because they wanted Lizzie to have break up angst with Dmitri. Which I don’t get the need for, we don’t need a relationship drama as well as everything else and I think the relationship was already super shaky because of how very very.
But I did like the interaction between Lizzie and Dmitri’s sisters - the instant connection, the support, Lizzie backing them without trying to overrule them. And I liked Amara. I’m skating round spoiler territory here - but I liked her developed story and the revelations that came with her especially since she began as such a “AAARGH EVIL LOVE RIVAL! RAWR!”
Really, Lizzie’s interactions with other women in this book were excellent - even when it looked like something stereotypical or dubious was raising it’s ugly head it was subverted. I also liked the crafty biplay of Dimitri and the Biker witches. While Lizzie is, frankly, being ultra snobby and generally thinking that her low class family is going to embarrass her in front of her super classy boyfriend, Dmitri himself is fully respectful of the witches skills and willing to let them have free reign. It’s a nice touch and a gentle subversion of Lizzie’s own, well, shame at her biker family.
I also really liked her instructor - quirky, not aggressive, forms a good rapport: there’s no unnecessary antagonism at all. On top of that we have an interesting plot with some nice forboding and hefty stakes and some really powerful hooks for future books

The biker witches in this book were a hoot, although I had a bit of a problem coming to terms with older women, witches, Harleys and cross-continental magical disasters. It was a fun read though, and even though the story itself was predictable (who the villain was, and why, was obvious to me on meeting said villain for the first time) it was a fun read.
I enjoyed the lighthearted take on griffins, although it seemed as if Dimitri was a little too perfect, too self-sacrificing and too noble to be real. Tall, bronze, buff, and gorgeous. I think with all the syrup oozing from him I would run screaming within a day, but it was fun to read.
I liked that Lizzie is insecure, not even able to use the lightest of the blue words, but did want to shake her a little. Some of the issues she had could have been resolved with the application of the logic she adores, but doesn't apparently often use.
I loved the teacher from Hell (literally) and the talking dog with its pet dragon.
Fun to read, and even though its part of a series it stands alone, and gains stars just for that, but loses some for the inaneness of the prose.
Amara. Keep an eye on the lovely lady. And enjoy the story.

Narrated by Tavia Gilbert
Two positives about this book are the dog Pirate and the Narrator.
I just didnt care for this installment. It was unnecessarily confusing. The main character did a lot of complaining and projecting onto others. It seemed like the author was shooting for some inner torture and growth, but for me it just made her annoying. The more I listened the more I wanted to ignore her. Do you know how to ignore a character in a book? You stop reading.
But I pushed through Lizzie's inner drama. Then her inner drama became her outer drama. She is up against what the summary describes as her evil twin, but why? It just seemed very convenient that this happens while she is in Greece. Whats the purpose of this twin? It would have made more sense if she was fighting all the sides of herself that she compresses. Like if she was actually fighting herself. Instead it's this completely grown alter ego version of herself who has grown more powerful than her in days when she has been training for months. *Major Eye Roll Here*.
Then it's all this cry baby stuff about Demetri. Really? The guy went into HELL with her! He almost died for her! And that was after saving his sisters. How much more loyalty can you get? The whole storyline just didnt do it for me.
And did I mention there was a jealous ex-girlfriend... second eye roll moment.
I know others really liked this one. But I just wasnt feeling it. I'll go on to the next one but it wont be quickly.
2 Stars 🌟🌟- Decent. Has Potential. Possibly a good idea for a story but something could have been better. Sometimes it's because too little or too much is in the wrong part of the story. Doesn't mean I hated it. Just means it was missing something to push it over the hump..

I'm pretty sure that I liked this one more than the previous books. It had its faults, but there was way more Dimitri and that's always a good thing!
This book started off great -- Lizzie is finally going with Dimitri to meet his family. That made me stupidly think that we would get a vacation book out of this, filled with smut and awesomeness. Totally not the case. I should have learned my lesson from the other books -- Lizzie never has a moment when she is not in mortal danger. Really. Ever. Sure, she gets some kisses and a teeny bit of smut time, but right afterwards, everything blows up, or catches fire, or blows up and catches fire.
This book also reinforced Lizzie's insecurities. It pretty much revolved around her wanting to break up with Dimitri for his own good (again, just like in the last book). This kind of stuff drives me crazy when it comes from someone who should be a great tough chick main character. Dimitri really needs to finish whipping her into shape, because he is still the same amount of awesome he was when we met him.
There was a good dose of insanity and hilarious scenes that kept me entertained. I really hope the next book involves more of Lizzie's tougher side and she gets rewarded with oodles of smutty scenes.

Dark, sexy, Greek, shape-shifting griffin. If that isn’t enough to make you pick up this book then I don’t know what to say! Dimitri is Lizzie’s amazing new man. He really stole the show, though admittedly it was close because Lizzie can certainly hold her own and goes up against some big bad stuff. But seeing how Dimitri treats his family, his honor, and his deep feelings for Lizzie will just melt you on the spot.
This is a first Fox novel experience, and it was an amazing one. Now the first two books are calling. How can you say no to that when you are guaranteed to laugh, have your heart racing (and not all from scary stuff), and meet great characters. That and sometimes it is fun to know the end, it’s the journey to get there that is where all the action happens anyway.
A Tale of Two Demon Slayers is so funny and action packed you will whip right through it in no time. Fox has a whole array of memorable characters, smart mouthed ones, cute adorable furry ones, numerous feisty biker witches (as if being feisty biker chicks aren���t enough they have magic to boot!), stuck up shifter, and so many more. Telling you about all of them just doesn’t do them justice, you really need to check out this series to find out.

Aaaaaand that's what I'm talking about!
I absolutely loved the first book in this series, and then was terribly disappointed by the second. This third book is back to the quality and standard I enjoyed in the beginning. Woo!
In this story, Lizzie heads off to Greece to meet her boyfriend's family. Dmitri, the sexy shape-shifting Griffin, is back to being in fine form this time around, and I fell in love with him all over again. He's every bit as strong and powerful as Lizzie, but she manages to hold her own and not let him overpower her in the kick-ass or magical stakes. (At least, not without a fight!)
Dmitri particularly shone in this book because we were treated to a different side of his personality: we got to see how he treated his family, and what it really means to be a griffin.
Some of Lizzie's mistakes came back to haunt her in this book, and there were plenty of scenes with Pirate the Wonderdog and the Biker Witches to amp up the humour value.
Really, the only reason this didn't get a 5 star rating is because the plotline is quite predictable. I'd worked out who the "bad guy" was and their reasons from the first time they were introduced. But even with that minor fault, the book was great fun. Loved it.

4.5 Stars
This books picks up right after The Dangerous Book For Demon Slayers, with Dimitri and Lizzie finally heading off to Greece for some "alone time" and to see his sisters finally after saving them in the first book An Accidental Demon Slayer.
However things do not go to plan, Grandma decides that Lizzie's official Demon Slayer training is to take place in Greece and as such her and the other 37 biker witches turn up and pitch camp on the grounds of Dimitri's idillic Villa, then arrives her trainer the enigmatic Rochmort (he's an interesting character) add to that Pirate the dog finding a new pet, an ex fiance of Dimitri's and her brother, Dimitri's sisters continuing to loose their powers rather than gain them. Oh and Dimitri has a secret to tell Lizzie that could spell disaster literally for the world and puts Lizzie in grave danger but I wont tell you about that because I really thing you should read it instead (you won't be disappointed).
Lots of plot twists and an epic battle at the end - same great writing, onto the next installment!

I'd read the first two of this series years ago, then promptly got involved with other series *cough*Night Huntress *cough* and forgot how funny they are. So when it was time to up the ante and read 100 books in 2011 I went searching and what do you know - there were two more books.
I love Lizzie the pre-school teacher who still says H-E- double hockey sticks the demon slayer. Her insecurity in her ability to do the job is totally endearing Though admittedly sometimes you do want to smack her upside the head. Like in this book when she decides to break-up with Dimitri! Okay better explain Dimitri - hot, Hot HOT gryphon shifter and totally in love with her. Definitely a slap upside the back of the head moment.
I loved that we learned more about Dimitri and his sisters. I also loved that I totally had the wrong baddie in mind. Glad it wasn't the cliche and that's all I'm saying.
But if you like your UF with humor - definitely give the series a try

I picked this book up at a writer's conference. I have not read any other in the series and, yet I figured out the ending about halfway through. Sometimes, this is not a problem, especially if I am interested in the character and her journey, but Lizzie hasn't grabbed me the way I would like. She seems to have an interesting background but, in first person, she can become irritating. She seemed to come close to addressing important issues several times (i.e. sacrificing her own wants for the good of others) but flutters around them like Flappy. Dimitri is too perfect, I mean, all heroes have issues, right. The biker witches are a scream and Dimitri's sisters have serious potential. I will probably read other books in this series to see if it digs deeper.

Ok this is actually getting better. These books are funny and entertaining. I just love Pirate.
I really like that we are now learning more and more about Demetri and his family. His sisters are fun and I think that Miss Slayer and her biker witches will fit right into the family.
But first they must find who stole some of her power and who is trying to Griffin power for themselves.
Spoiler:
it is the family that has sworn to protect them and their estate. They have also created their very own demon slayer! But good will win out over evil if pirate and his little dragon pet have anything to say about it.

I liked this book and the world Angie Fox created. It starts with great promise, and the love relationship is believable. Dimitri is a great hero. But I found the Las Vegas locations difficult to conjure, and hence, they drew me out of the book's believability. That said, it's still an enjoyable read with endearing characters. And Pirate is terrific!

I love this series. Lizzie is an accidental demon slayer. She is still learning how to use her powers and to trust in herself. I love her talking dog, Pirate. I really enjoyed the part where Pirate wanted to keep the baby dragon as a pet. I could just picture the dog leading the dragon around on a leash- LOL. I am definitely looking forward to the next book.

I Love Lizzie, Pirate, Dimitri and The Biker Witches and now Flappy & Dimitri's Sisters. I'm not good at reviews I just know what I like and I like this series! I hope it never ends!! The book has action, romance and makes me laugh. I can't wait til the next one. Angie Rocks!!

Angie Fox delivers another absorbing story about Lizzie Brown the Accidental Demon Slayer. I think this one was my favorite because Lizzie makes bigger strides into learning about herself and the acceptance of what her role in life is.

It may have been the setting or the new players, but aside from Lizzy, I loved this one. Most likely because for a good part of the book, the focus was on Dimitri and getting to know him better and see him more in his element. Lizzy did learn quite a bit about herself too and how she needs to have a little more faith in her relationship with him and not that everything is always about her. Sure, a good portion of the story is, but those secondary characters are what make this series. If not for the crazy, but loyal group of biker witches, pets that entertain, and boyfriends with the patience of a saint, her insecurity and lack of commitment would drive me crazy before I even got to the end of the book. I loved how she knew Dimitri was hers at the beginning, but as the book continued, she went back to questioning what was best for him and not LISTENING to him about what he wanted / needed. And just when I think she may start to get it, the woman backslides.
Like others, I did guess early on who the villain was, but I liked how the story progressed. And although I don't like triangles, I did like Amara. She truly did embody someone who was loyal and comfortable with who she was and what she could do. I get that Lizzy is still very new at being a slayer, but she didn't come across as someone who fails at things and yet she constantly fought embracing and learning to be that slayer. Not to mention her struggle with really relying on those who support her.
So yes, that missing one star is because Lizzy drives me mad, but overall, I did enjoy this one.

I accidently skipped the second book and jumped to this one from the second. I will go back and read the second one.
This series is amazing. I can read through a book in a few days if I get the chance. They just grab you and pull you in.
Lizzie is heading to Greece with Dimitri so she can meet his family and relax at his home. Nothing ever goes as planned for Lizzie so it's not hard to imagine her vacation isn't really a vacation. She's excited to meet the Dimitri's sisters and finally get to meet them but she is going to get a whole lot more than what she bargained for.
Lizzie still isn't super sure of her powers and she's trying to figure them out. The red skulls hire someone to help her harness her powers and learn how to use them. The only problem is they will be coming to Greece to help her. As soon as Lizzie and Dimitri arrive things are haywire and the action starts right away.
Lizzie, the red skulls, Dimitri, and his sister have quite the fight on their hands this time around. Hopefully everyone can harness and figure out their magic in time to save the estate and the people around them.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a fast paced action book, filled with fantasy, and a hint of romance.

Despite her ongoing tendency to over think and over analyze everything Lizzie manages to learn more demon slayer techniques and just like the first two books her new found biker witch family manage to create chaos while using their magical skills to defeat evil.
Jack Russell terrier and all around comic relief at the most inappropriate moments Pirate is just as adorable the third time around, but also in this story has a more limited role. Little stinker also acquires his own pet to share the limelight with.
Still fun reading but am taking a break from Demon Slaying to start a new Vampire trilogy that have on my overabundant to-be-read shelves.

The series just gets better and better
All the other stories have been leading up to this one where we learn more about Lizzie, and learn there's more to Lizzie, than even she knew. Lizzie must learn the most difficult lesson of all: to trust herself. It's going to take the love and support of of more than just her lover for this gal to come into her own. Love, greed, betrayal, and a lawn full of biker witches keep the story moving along at a fast clip. The characters are delightful and the story past exciting. If you enjoy urban fantasy, then I suggest you give this series a try.

So I'm thinking that Lizzy redeemed herself in this episode. At least that's my opinion.
Loved seeing her find her strength and believe in herself - yes, it was sort of getting old, but I get the doubting yourself when all you've ever felt is not good enough.
Although I enjoyed this story - I really, hated the whole angsty bit in regards to her relationship with Dimitri - usually I love angst - but this really began to irritate me in this story.
Overall, enjoyed this story and will add the next one to my TBR list.

All Lizzie wants is to spend some quality time with her sexy shape-shifting griffin boyfriend at his Greek villa where she gets to meet his sisters unfortunately an evil Slayer doppelganger and a traitor in her mist is going to have to push any romance time on the back burner ( yeah, right!), while she's finally able to start proper demon slayer training she, Lizzie also has to keep her geriatric biker witches crew from tearing up the Villa and her dog has a pet baby dragon. It's all just a part of Lizzie's new normal!

I really like this series. However, it kind of bothers me that there’s been no mention back to her previous life. No mention of her adoptive parents or friends. She fell out of their life two months ago. What happened to her condo? What happened to her job? What happened to her friends? Why is no one called her? Someone should be missing her right? I kind of expected by book 3 for there to be some kind of wrap up of that previous life.
Read
August 9, 2020It has a very good story line. I enjoy it, but I can only use it as a filler when I’m in between books. She has no confidence. She can’t seem to let go of always needing to be in control. I understand a lot of what she is going through is really tough to deal with, but she isn’t only. I keep reading because I have to know what is going on, but like I said it is my in between book. It doesn’t stay with me like most do.

Fighting yourself should not be physically possible
Wow! Meeting the family is bad enough but finding out that someone has created an evil doppelganger of yourself is really not even on the radar. Fighting yourself just seems wrong. Will they be able to vanquish the "twin". Really fantastic series and a highly recommended one.

I’m still not sure that I completely love this series, but I did feel like there was some growth and progress in Lizzie as a demon slayer. She is still rather obsessive and annoying, and I just don’t know if I can deal with the chaos that is the Red Skulls. I kept reading really for two reasons. First, it is the third book in a set that I already had, and second, for Pirate, Flappy, and Dimitri.

This is book 3 in the series. Although you could probably read this as a standalone, I don't think it would be as rewarding as it is to read the series in order. Each book builds upon the last.
I really liked this book. It kept me interested and entertained from start to finish. The narration is really good too.

Great story
I always enjoy a Angie Fox book. I like all of the quirky characters. I find myself smiling if not laughing throughout the books. I'm looking forward to more demon slayer stories.

This just might be the best in the series so far. This story line held the most mysteries to be solved and the least amount of cringing moments for me. I found myself more involved with the characters and even cried a bit. I was seriously that moved!
Also, Greece sounds amazing.
