This book starts off running and doesn’t stop to test until the end. I love the strength Leonie has and the will to be human instead of the monster half her father gifted her with. This story will have a few twists that will keep you hooked until the end. Narration, as always with Sarah Puckett, is absolutely fantastic.
I love that Leonie has her own book now that Nava’s has changed to drastically. I loved her from the beginning when she was only Nava’s bff. She has a unique personality and way of looking at the world. Part of that could be that she’s half demon and hates that part of her. It really became a problem with her and Drio, a Rasha, when he found out. Yet after pouring his heart to her we thought it was gonna be smooth sailing between them. I loved how fast she jumped to find out what possessed him to get engaged without a word to her. Her PI skills are outstanding and when she allows Drio to help it was wonderful. I was tickled pink with the way this book tied up the loose ends. Since the Rasha’s organization is undergoing some major changes, this could turn out to be a fun partnership. I would love to see more of this branch of the Nava Katz series. I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Wildly entertaining. Loved every minute from beginning to end. This magical, action-packed quick paced mystery was everything I hoped for and more. Characters from Unlikeable Demon Hunter make an appearance which I really loved. Leonie Hendricks character is great, humorous, dangerous and deadly. Reading a continuation of Leonie and Drio’s love affair was exactly what I was looking for. Drio is set to marry someone else but the brilliantly clever Leonie knows something must be up after the heart felt serenade Drio gave her. So, with help from the gang she heads to Italy to rescue her man or stab him for putting her through this drama. As the two work together they begin to reconnect, slowly breaking down Leonie’s newly reinforced walls against love. Just when things start to look up the truth about the demon involved is brought to light and now, she is certain more than ever that a happily ever after is just not meant to be. Luckily Drio doesn’t give up so easily.
Leone Hendricks, Demon P.I. #1 – I absolutely love this author’s work! Leone is my most favorite player of the Unlikeable Demon Hunter Series and she’s just as awesome in her own series. This is a well thought out, fast paced, action packed set of storylines, some of which continue on from Nava’s series. I recommend reading all the books since the foundation and storylines run deep and that’s the best way to enjoy this series. BUT it’s not necessary; it’s OK to start with this book.
The characters run the gamut of personalities and types, and some needed killin and others needed lovin. The storylines don’t run smoothly, just when you think all’s well, well it’s not. One twist is a kicker that caught me by surprise. There is plenty of humor and sexual tension throughout the pages. I contacted the author to review her books. 5*
The Unlikeable Demon Hunter Series:
The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Sting #2 – Babyslay vs. psycho spawns. I missed the first book, how sad! Not reading book one did not take anything away from book two. She’s an abrasive, smart mouth with an over-sex-drive, which is OK, because she can kick butt. I love the way Rohan trains her as she’s fighting for her life. Ms. Wilde is a wonderful author: her colorful descriptions; the humor; a reasonable amount of vulgar language. It’s true that not all real people use vl, much less curse. The action, fast pace, humorous plot along with the good descriptions holds the reader in a tight grip. After the first sex scene, the story kicked into overdrive. There’s sex, but don’t let that stop you from reading this entertaining book. All sex scenes boremeoutofmyeverlovingmind, I’m not a prude. Paperback. 5*
The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Need #3- More Babyslay. More of the well written series, with the humor, the colorful descriptions and twisting plot that makes Need almost as interesting as Sting. The action and romances continue and it’s hard to put the book down. The vulgar language is kept to a reasonable level and the sex scenes still boremetodeath (not just this author’s, all authors). I contacted the author to review this book after reading Sting. 5*
The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Crave #4 – Another well written, action-packed, fast-paced, intrigue filled book. This must the best so far with the well thought out plot of nonstop twists and turns and surprises that keeps the reader glued to the pages. The characters show growth and even the minor characters have enough to them to keep the reader interested. The vulgar language is actually toned down quite a bit and there’s plenty of graphic sex – skip them if GS is not your cuppa, I find all GS boring. While not a cliffhanger, there’s more coming. Ms. Wilde does an excellent job with her descriptions. 4*
The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Fall #5 – I did have a problem with the chapters about the Pride parade. I’m not sure if I was getting a lecture or Pride forced down my throat, but I got bored quick with much of the information that didn’t matter; clothing, repetition, etc. (You don’t know me so don’t think I dislike gays; boring is boring regardless of subject matter.) I love this series but this book didn’t have the magic like the previous books did. Maybe it was too much unimportant information (or filler is the impression I sometimes received) and not the usual fast paced intrigue that this series has in bunches. The book is still good but I had to work at reading it over several days; either too wordy or sometimes I was just confused. I usually finish one of Ms. Wilde’s book in one day; you can’t put them down, they’re so entertaining and addicting. Still, I’m looking forward to the next book. 4*
Burn #6 – Do not read this book without reading the previous books! All good things must end and I really enjoyed this series. Burn picks up where Fall ends and the pace is fast and hard. All the storylines come together ending the series perfectly. Nava and Rohan having grown throughout the series, mesh well together and with all the factions in their joined fight against evil.
Nava is not the Babyslay of the second book, but a well developed woman confident in her abilities and recognized by others as a proven leader. Even Rohan keeps getting better and works perfectly for and with Nava. There’s plenty of the usual and unusual characters to keep every reader’s interest, along with the humor.
Ms. Wilde has done a wonderful with this series. Her talent for writing, along with her intense storytelling and vivid descriptions, topped with plenty of imagination and humor makes it difficult to put one of her books down. Leonie is one of favorite characters and I’m glad to see her story continue on from here. I contacted the author to review her books. 5*
