Less Hopelessly Devoted, more Worse Things I Could Do. Nava is hot on the heels of a demonic serial killer and finally working with her brother. The assignment should be a dream come true, not a nightmarish power struggle made worse by her twin’s refusal to believe there’s corruption within the Brotherhood. She’s determined to find proof of their dirty dealings, even as she risks irrefutably …
She’s determined to find proof of their dirty dealings, even as she risks irrefutably breaking her sibling bond.
And speaking of clocking annoying males upside the head…
Nava is also totally over smoking hot rock star and fellow hunter Rohan Mitra. There is a veritable buffet of boy options out there, and this girl is now all-you-can-eat.
So when her demon hunt brings her first love, Cole, back into her life, her revenge fantasies for closure-on all fronts-are a go.
Except neither her old wounds nor her new ones are as healed as she believes.
Still, she’s got work to do:
Brotherhood: unmask.
Demons: slaughter.
Guy problems: terminate with extreme prejudice.

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*
To all authors: I find pages of “praise” in any book annoying when I’d rather see the list of books by an author and then the story. I don’t give a rat’s toenail about other people’s opinions and I dislike hunting for information and the start of the story; plus everyone has a smartphone that they can look up reviews. In the days of paperbacks, I wouldn’t buy a book because of the pages of reviews unless it was one of my authors and then I didn’t open the book till I got home.
I love this series so much! I love the growth that Nava has gone through in each of the books, and she has really found her place in her world. She is still the snarky character that I love, and she still makes me laugh. Her romance with Rohan is in a funk, and in walks her first love, Cole. Just the shake up Nava needs while chasing demons, not.
The story is full of action and laugh out loud moments. There is sexiness, snark, and sassiness (if that isn’t a word it should be) everywhere! If you haven’t read this series then I have to ask what you are waiting for. I promise this in one you don’t want to miss!
