Preschool teacher Lizzie Brown is thrilled to be meeting her biological grandmother. An adopted child, Lizzie had wondered about her biological parents and what they were like. But the thrill lasts about five seconds, until her Harley-driving grandmother locks her in the bathroom and starts chanting. And pulling smelly concoctions out of Smucker's jars.
Lizzie suddenly finds herself in a world she never even knew existed. A world full of griffins, werewolves, witches. And, oh God, did her grandmother say that Lizzie is a demon slayer? Surely she's kidding.
But no, the sweetly innocent world of preschool is left behind as Lizzie travels into a world where she's expected to slay demons. The appearance of Dimitri, her "protector" (whatever that means!), adds confusion to the chaos.
Ms. Fox brings a light touch to the demon world, offering up a slate of characters that will make you laugh. Despite its somewhat serious subject -- I mean, really, demons are nothing to joke about -- THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER is a fun poolside read for the summer. Enjoy.
Of course, that's not the only thing after her.
Dimitri Kallinikos, a devastatingly handsome shape-shifting

could a little seduction be...
