Product Description

Romantic Times Magazine
FoA new talent just hit the urban fantasy genre, and she has a genuine gift for creating dangerously hilarious drama. Viewed through Lizzie's eyes, events are both comically absurd and terrifying. Fox has created her own unique flavor of the supernatural.


Book Description
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...?

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing debut!, 8 Jul 2008
By D. Merrimon Crawford - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Preschool teacher Lizzie Brown's life may never be the same when her long lost witch grandmother shows up driving a hot pink Harley and starts casting magic spells from Smucker's jars. Pirate, her Jack Russell terrier, starts talking! Lizzie discovers that she is the exalted Demon Slayer of Dalea and a demon, Xerxes, emerges from her toilet to cause even more havoc! As they head to Memphis to join the grandmother's just as strange coven to learn magic, Dimitri Kallinikos, a shape shifting griffin shows up as her mentor. Teaching her the three rules of demon slaying, he is both protector and teacher. Dimitri, however, needs her to slay a demon of his own and as their feelings for each other grow, Lizzie and Dimtri are forced to make tough choices when family loyalties come into play in a battle begun generations ago.

Told through Lizzie's eyes, THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER, follows the heroine on the journey of her maturation and self-discovery in a well-imagined world ever so kooky yet touched by wonderful dash of tenderness. Within 12 hours, Lizzie has lost her home, her job, her clothes, and her friends to follow her grandmother, accused of murder, to be trained in magic and face demons and her destiny as the new family demon slayer. Unaware of the extent of her powers or her family history, Lizzie struggles to make sense of the crazy world her grandmother opens before her. As she comes to face with The Witches of the Red Skull with its cantankerous witch Ant Eater, werewolves, and above all her own magical powers, Lizzie sees the humorous outrageousness of her situation with a unique sense of innocence and irreverent sass. Although her dog Pirate plays the tough guy, the reader sees the tenderness within Lizzie's heart through him. Dimitri, her protector and mentor, awakens the woman in Lizzie with his body and kiss. Dimitri helps Lizzie focus on her powers and concentrating her magic when her magic turns her familiar world topsy-turvy.

Oh my, THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER is a fun book! Angie Fox's world and adventures had me laughing as the vivid and hilarious scenarios got funnier and funnier. The grandmother and her group of witches were a total scream. Angie Fox mixes paranormal with a fun, bold smart tone but by the end, I felt myself immersed in Lizzie's whole world and the drama playing out in her family. Angie Fox's humor gives way to a suspenseful adventure that keeps the reader on the edge as Lizzie and Dimitri face the ominous dangers ahead. The final leg of the journey is spectacular ---.not a gradual let-down but an ever increasing delightful unveiling, not just once but in several gradual layers. Intricacies with wonderful twists and revelations of the paranormal world kept me riveted to this book. What an ending! With her debut book, Angie Fox has created a wonderful magical world that will have readers eager to re-enter and anxiously awaiting her next release!

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent first book, 19 Oct 2008
By Pookie (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
Angie Fox has created a marvellously funny twist on the urban fantasy genre with this book.

Lizzie's day goes from normal to weird in one hit when a demon materialises in her toilet bowl as she is getting ready to celebrate her 30th birthday. Add to that, a grandmother she didn't know she had appears on the doorstep riding a pink Harley, and her dog starts talking to her.

It's not often a book will make me snigger aloud, but his one did! I really enjoyed it, and I look forward to the next offering from this great new talent. I'm hoping for a series featuring these wonderful characters!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing special, 5 Aug 2008
By Helen Hancox "Auntie Helen" (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Lizzie Brown is an ordinary, quiet woman who works at a nursery school and whose companion is a small terrier, Pirate. Then on the eve of her thirtieth birthday her world is turned upside down. Her Grandmother appears, tells her that she's a demon slayer, and then she discovers an ancient demon in her toilet - and things go on from there. Along her journey to rescue her grandmother and to defeat a demon she teams up with a Griffin, Dimitri Kallinikos, a bunch of weird witches and even some werewolves. Can Lizzie learn enough to keep herself and those she loves safe? Can she trust those around her?

The author's writing style in this book is pretty relentless with non-stop action, a whole host of absurd characters and occasional amusing asides. Lizzie's Grandma Gertie seemed rather reminiscent of Grandma Mazur in the Stephanie Plum series to me and most of the other characters weren't actually that well delineated, including Lizzie herself. As a reader I felt lost most of the time, never quite knowing what was going on and wondering how Lizzie was adjusting so quickly to such random events.

There's a romance tacked onto the story but the author seems to be aiming more for quirky characters and dodgy spells. I actually found it quite hard to get through this book as it felt very disjointed and the lack of flow and of coherent direction most of the time made it rather disappointing.
