Adara Jean (Addy) Corwin is your typical Southern woman off
with her dog Dooley for a morning jog in her hometown of
Hannah, Alabama when Dooley disappears into a forest that
just wasn't there the day before. Nothing for it but to go
after her dog before it gets into trouble. Addy was no
whiney-pants girly-girl but when a wraith-like demon appears
from the dark undergrowth and starts sucking her soul
through its touch on her face, she is terrified. Then in a
flash of brilliant light a beautiful warrior with an
impassive face and a really (really) big sword appears and
saves her life, but not before the demon stabs her chest
with a spear of icy darkness, marking her as its own.
Brand is a Dalvhani warrior, sworn for the past ten thousand
years to quell any possible emotion to enhance his
efficiency in chasing down and dispatching djegrali (demons)
throughout the many realms. But something about Addy Corwin
is irresistible to him. She is the first female he has met
who touches his heart, and she is in grave danger. He will
protect her and wait for the djegrali to return, but he
fears his long life as a stoic warrior will never be the
same.
Lexi George has put together an amazingly hilarious book. It
has all the excitement and danger of an urban fantasy, the
hot sex and relationship struggles of a paranormal romance,
but her sense of comedic timing and depiction of the
intricacies of southern manners placed up against an ancient
warrior class had me laughing out loud through most of the
book. Add in some southern eccentrics, a dead man inhabited
by a demon and the bone-deep grit Addy calls upon to meet
the danger stalking her and you have one of the best books I
have ever read. Laughter, tears and a captivating story,
DEMON HUNTING IN DIXIE has it all.
A warrior, a demon, and the girl next door...
Addy Corwin is a florist with an attitude. A bad attitude,
or so her mama says, because she's not looking for a man.
Mama's wrong. Addy has looked. There's just not much to
choose from in Hannah, her small Alabama hometown. Until
Brand Dalvahni shows up, a supernaturally sexy,
breathtakingly well-built hunk of a warrior from - well,
not from around here, that's for sure. Mama thinks he
might be European or maybe even a Yankee. Brand says he's
from another dimension.
Addy couldn't care less where he's from. He's gorgeous.
Serious muscles. Disturbing green eyes. Brand really gets
her going. Too bad he's a whack job. Says he's come to
rescue her from a demon. Puh-leeze. But right after Brand
shows up, strange things start to happen. Dogs talk and
reanimated corpses stalk the quiet streets of Hannah. Her
mortal enemy Meredith, otherwise knwon as the Death Starr,
breaks out in a severe and inexplicable case of butt
boils. Addy might not know what's going on, but she
definitely wants a certain sexy demon hunter by her side
when it all goes down...
