Nick Archer #1
Demons Are D*cks
My name’s Archer. And I’m a Slayer.
I spend my nights keeping the Creatures of Night, or Cons, in check. Sometimes that means getting my hands dirty. I stake vamps, put mutts to sleep, and slay the hell out of demons. Life’s not easy when supernatural beings are always out for your blood.
˃˃˃ And that’s what a good week looks like.
Right now? I’m having a bad week. Another Slayer just turned up dog food, I’ve got a fresh recruit to train, my boss for my daytime cover job is a knob, and this a***ole demon, Asag, might be building an unstoppable army in hell to bring about the apocalypse.
˃˃˃ So there’s that.
Good thing I kick all ass.
Demons Are D*cks is the first in a new splatstick series featuring Nick Archer. Fans of comedy, horror, action, gore, and the Evil Dead series will love this book.

Fun book
Demons are D*cos
By Evan Rowan
This is a fun story about a Slayer and his apprentice as they battle demons, werewolves, and vampires. Great characters and plot! Definitely want to read more of this series.

This is a very good monster hunter book. My main complaints about it are the total a$$#olery of Archer when interrogating the nonhuman characters and the constant mentioning of needing lots of Miller High Life beer and his total disdain for IPAs. I also wish the kid had some involvement in the actual story instead of remaining a completely separate side story that never really goes anywhere. I forgive the chapter where Lucian suddenly becomes Julian, it's a simple continuity error.
This book isn't quite as funny or or as "slap stick" as the blurb tries to make it seem. But it does those jobs better than most monster hunter books I have read. Give this book a try. For me, when I catch up some of my tbr list I will be back for more of this series.

funny and entertaining
I find it refreshing reading this type of paranormal thriller from a male perspective. This book had me literally loling. I loved Archer’s bromance with Jay and Neil. I like how he mentored Chloe and the kid (no nonsense) even if they were annoying at best. The only thing that got old very quickly about Archer was when he would interrogate cons, he was an over the top @$$hole. Like it really wasn’t necessary as soon as you walk through the door to be that way. But I get that it was a part of his character. I gave the book 4/5 stars because of that. But overall, I really enjoyed the read and might read the second one.

You know the guy ... he's That Guy. He wouldn't have a sense of humor at all, would probably say, "actually, werewolves blah blah" and would take everything, including this book, too seriously. Instead, just relax with anything non-IPA and let Ronan take you through a hell of a fun supernatural adventure that had me, at least, literally laughing throughout.

There are a lot of monster hunter books out there, this is one of the better reads. Nick's the 50's private eye version of a monster hunter. A stoic, biased, Miller Lite drinking womanizer who tries to save the world monster by monster. What you read is what you get, no hidden agendas for Nick Archer. Kinda funny, for the most part well written with a few checking errors, when instead of her, that type of thing. Overall, it's a good story line with a lot of action.

Started out great
I was really in to this story! Interesting take with a handful of twists that were great. Then not quite half way in and the author injected his personal political standing. I read, especially horror and sci-fi to escape politics. Stopped reading at 54% completed and deleted from my account.

Archer is a slayer, with the forecast of pending apocalypse, werewolves going crazy, a new apprentice and a welcome to the neighborhood party, he is having a bad few days. Good book, that moves at a nice pace, with an interesting main character.

Great fun
Humorous take on slayers, monsters, demons, and the apocalypse. The main character was entertaining and likable. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Pure entertainment
Archer has a big ego, but he's earned it. Cloe is a sensible young woman with almost none of the silliness frequently written into female characters. Lots of action and snark make this a fun read. I'm going to look for book 2

Well written story. Made me laugh a lot. After reading this book I immediately wanted to read the rest of the series, to see where the author takes the character.

Archer is a dick too.
Too much like evil dead. Just not my thing. I just really do not like Archer. He reminds me too much of the guy from evil dead...hated those movies.

Fast moving and lots of fun! Written tongue in cheek with wise cracks that will make you smile while reading. When I picked this book up I figured it was going to end up being one that I was going to end up I would be sorry I got. I'm so happy that I was wrong. I'll definitely be checking in on Evan Ronan's other books to see what he has to offer especially if they are in this series. So if you like your heros and bad guys on the wise cracking, kind of cornie, and conceded good guys with a heart of heart of gold type this series is definitely right up your alley.

Enjoyable.
Archer is a professor of arcane mythology during the day and slayer of demons/vampires/werewolves etc at night. He is egotistical, quick with a snarky comment and ultimately his photographic memory helps save the day.
