Maybe I just have a wacky sense of humor, but I really enjoyed this. Yes, it gets goofy at times. It's vaguely reminiscent of the movie 'End of Days,' but without that Republican who never bothers to learn English well. It's also a little bit like 'Men in Black,' what with the talking lapdog and all. If you like Sookie Stackhouse, you're likely to enjoy Constance Plyd, visionary minor prophet. The good-versus-evil dramedy overwhelms the romance, and the sex is "off-camera," so this doesn't quite count as a paranormal romance. Still, it's entertaining. Once I got to the last 100 pages or so, I couldn't put it down.

This was a great "summer reading" book. Very funny and entertaining, but easy to frequently put down and pick back up. Am curious to see if the second "Demon" book lives up.

Such a lot of fun, hilarious and fast-paced, but TERRIBLY copy edited. There were so many typos just in the first chapter that it was tough to get into it, but once I did I found I could ignore them okay because it was a great story and I loved all the kooky characters.

Bearing a French bulldog in a pink sweater and a halo and with a prominent character called Dead Jimmy, Lockwood promises laughs interspersed with psychics, demons, and ghosts. Lockwood, of I Do (But I Dont) fame and a series of YA novels where classic literature characters come to life (e.g., Bard Academy), brings down-home humor to this tale of dead (and dumb) ex-husbands and haunted old flames. Constance Plyd is a prophet who is supposed to foretell the birth of the next Antichrist (the last being an unfortunate half goat with a penchant for eating tin cans). Stuck in a marriage with the aforementioned Dead Jimmy (before he was dead, of course), Constance doesn't know it and would rather just live quietly working at her diner. When a Pride Demon owns up to offing Jimmy and she starts seeing ghosts, Constance begins a wild, funny ride in this Shanna Swendson/Kim Harrison readalike. Lockwood's latest work is recommended for public libraries, especially those with a patron base geared toward humor and urban fantasy.
[Another LJ Review, which is why it sounds semi-professional. This was my first published review, actually.:]

A fun read but there was a sad bit in there that they could have left out without hurting the plot. I'll read the next one even though it focuses on a secondary character from the first book.
