It's never a good day when an ancient demon shows up on your toilet bowl. For Lizzie Brown, that's just the beginning. Soon her hyperactive terrier starts talking, and her long-lost biker witch Grandma is hurling Smuckers jars filled with magic. Just when she thinks she's seen it all, Lizzie learns she's a demon slayer—and all hell is after her.
Of course, that's not the only thing after her. Dimitri Kallinikos, a devastatingly handsome shape-shifting griffin, needs Lizzie to slay a demon of his own. But how do you talk a girl you've never met into going straight to the underworld? Lie. And if that doesn't work how dangerous could a little seduction be…? - from Amazon.com
Not a bad little story. I have been going through the (thousands) of ebooks I have in my computer library, trying to find something that sounds interesting to read of late, and happened across the first four books of the Biker Witches series, this being book one. Reading the synopsis, I was leery, because I am not much into romance-type stories, but this one wasn't terrible. There was the usual love-interest part going on throughout, and only one short scene that was a bit more descriptive than what I care to read through.
Characters were pretty plain. The main was a spoiled twit, naive about anything magical, including anything basically could have learned from any fantasy movie or story. The Biker Witches, were pretty shallow as well. The hunk of the story, well, he wasn't even a man. Overall the story line was enjoyable, and the plain-ness of the characters made for some corny conversation exchanges, and thoughts by the main character. I did chuckle in a few places as well.
I see that there are several books in this series (Amazon lists about 8 and a novella) I may not spend the time to read them back-to-back like I usually do with a series. A little too corny for that much material to get through. Not sure if Fox will be able to maintain a decent story/adventure through that many books. Given a few chuckles, and enjoying the basic story, I give it a solid 4 in my ratings.
