3.5 stars. Much better than the first one, but Lizzie is still annoying.

Lizzie and crew return this time around for another madcap adventure. Fox remains true to the formula that made The Accidental Demon Slayer so fun: plenty of hijinks and loads of that sassy humor.

Aside from having to rescue her uncle (and the world), Lizzie also contends with some romantic tension with Dimitri; a sexy, mysterious, yet scary hunter named Max; and, of course, the Biker Witches (who always make things a bit more complicated)...

This book is fast paced, full of action, supernatural beings, romance, mishaps, demon slaying and grandma and the biker gang.

it's well written and fun to the end.

It was fine, the last 10% or so dragged because Lizzy had the same "realization" about herself 3 times in a row.

My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.

I listened to the first book in this series on audio earlier this year and really enjoyed it. I thought it was fun and a great listen. I was very excited to be told that this book was to be released on audio as well. The narrator, Tavia Gilbert is perfect for this series. Now, I’m hoping that more will be released as well.

This book takes place not long after the ending of The Accidental Demon Slayer. LIzzie is starting to figure out her power, somewhat. She is still traveling with the Red Skulls, her grandmother’s biker witch coven and with her gryphon boyfriend, Dimtri. When she learns that her fairy godfather/uncle is being seduced by a succubus, she must travel to Vegas to save him.

Lizzie learns that she still has a lot to learn to not only master her powers, but also just about this new magical, demonic world in general. She has to get a permit from Department of Intramagical Procedures (DIP), which only goes to show how much she doesn’t know. This makes her decide that she needs a book with all the information that she acquires as she learns it, hence the title.

While if Vegas, she meets up with a demon hunter, Max. I was a little concerned when Max first made it into the picture that there would be a love triangle, but fear not, this is not an issue.

This has been a fun and cute series. It reminds me of a Molly Harper story. It has great characters that are a little quirky. I mean, Lizzie is a former kindergarten teacher turned demon slayer with a talking Jack Russell terrier, Pirate. She doesn’t cuss, even in her thoughts. She flies by the seat of her pants, but gets things done in the end. The beginning of each chapter even has a snippet from The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers to start each chapter off.

Narration
Tavia Gilbert once again does a great job with the narration of this story. I don’t know that I would like this story as much just reading. Her narration really adds to the story, in my opinion. She really brings out the humor in the characters. If you’ve listened to her narrate the Cat & Bones books, just know that these books she uses a completely different feel because of the different type of humor. I wouldn’t say that one is better than the other, but that she did a great job of tailoring her narration to fit with the story. I just hope that she has more of these books in her future.

This was a fun and cute read, but the Kindle version I read had a lot of typos, which really took me out of the story at times.

This book had an interesting world, characters, and overall concept. The story and plot were fine. The writing itself, the execution, was where it failed. It just wasn't written in a captivating or compelling manner. The main romance, Lizzie/Dimitri, was very boring. It felt like Dimitri was just there as a plot device and afterthought, a cardboard sexy and supporting love interest for the main character. His personality and character felt very underdeveloped and lacking, and his motivations and actions only there to move the story along and take up space.

However, I do feel that this series and author have potential, so I will try to finish the series in the hopes that it improves.
