Publisher's Summary

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.

Fun series

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.

Solid 4 stars

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.

Tale of Two Demon Slayer

Excellent Demon Slayer book, I loved the plot and new characters. I would recommend this book of the series.
Excellent narration

The Dog and the Narrator are best part of this one

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..

My favorite book in the series so far

It went from being cutesy romance to actually having mystery, twists, and sacrifice. I really enjoyed it. It's still light enough to read between heavy thrillers and horror, but this story was just a little "more". I was still fun, had the great characters. And of course the incredible Tavia Gilbert. I just liked this story more than the others.

Great book!

Enjoyed the book. Great characters The Witches with the Harleys are hilarious it's just a really good book.

yuck i was disappointed in this story.

hard to even finish. i am disappointed i had enjoyed other stories in this series

love the book

love the book. Great twists at the end. my favorites are the three animal helpers.

Job well done

This was a well written story I enjoyed reading and was happy to find a saga I can read

another great one!!

Tavia Gilbert is the best!! I will listen to anything she is the performer on.

Another great book in this series

I really like this narrator for this series. She brings the characters alive in a way that is more typical of radio plays.

I also very much enjoyed this story. There were ups, downs and just enough plot twists to be fun. I won't say anymore, I won't risk spoiling the story for someone else.
