Fang Me (Demon Underground, #3)


My rating: 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
Oh! Its that darling dog again. The half Hellhound that never ceases to amaze me. (wistfulsigh) As Val, just about to cave in, sets out to retrieve her father gift the Encyclopedia Magicka they can't trust anyone to be one her side but Fang. Demons and vampires and spooks of the underground seem to be crawling out of the woodwork everywhere and the one thing they want is the one thing they'll do anything to get: The Encyclopedia Magicka. A race against time and the UnHoly issues and through teeth and fang Val fights through emotional waste left over from her home and emotional distress left over from a certain Angel-featured demon named Shade. Trying to deny her building inner-most desires towards the sexy man while also wildly more determined than ever to find the Encyclopedia Magicka. To add a healthy dose of pressure along with this messy situation, if Val does not find her father's gift than the end results could be deadly for all of humanity.
Okay, so as to be expected I was pleased with the end of these series, though vaguely disappointed. There seemed to be multiple climaxes and at times the hype was not worth the end results, compared to the other two satisfying novels I took five days to read this, only because I was bored by the middle and decided to start a whole different book altogether. However, this is to be expected when one reads all three installments back-to-back-to-back, you lose the intrigue and a generally appealing book becomes slightly boorish and steadfast. Despite this being said, I would recommend reading this series, just not so cramped together perhaps.

Try Me (Demon Underground, #2)


My rating: 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
Just as Val though she was sinking her teeth whole-heartedly into her new, job, life, and home; things trickle to a halt. Because of course nothing ever stays perfectly contempt for long, what with all those nasty demon's out prowling. However, when its her hunky slice of handsome partner that begins to distance himself Val feels her frilly world is ripping at the seems. Quite literally actually. Seeing as how Val just recently cut the head off the hunky handsome man in questions ex-fiance. Just as Val starts shouldering the ice coming off Dan's presence a blond shadow appears, the demon with the looks of an angel. What bad could possibly happen when you throw a succubus in the same room with an arrogantly handsome demon? Why nothing of course!
Especially not when Val has a personal determination driving her forward, which ironically takes her straight into the murky depths of the demon underground where she searches, sometimes peevishly annoyed for her fathers only and final gift to her. Yes, you guessed it the stolen Encyclopedia Magicka. What else is a halfling succubus to do, than close her eyes, jump head first and hope she lands on her feet.
Fist fighting, demon kissing, home-front emotional baggage to deal with, lustful diabolical intentions with a like bit of ghastly language thrown into the mix and I have never been more happy to jump in with Miss Val.

Bite Me (Demon Underground, #1)


My rating: 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.

The book had me enthralled.

The story begins with Val on patrol and her saving an innocent, this is also the first night that she meets Dan the hunky cop that becomes her new incentive to a normal life. As the story continues Val is kicked out of her family, her home, etc and forced to find her way in the real world where she meets her companion a part-demon hellhound named Fang who can speak to Val through her mind. Val moves with Dan's sister after he gets her a job with the SCU or thescuzzies. Val's life begins to spiral out of control just as it seems to become a real life, while trying to deal with the impending issue of human body's stacking up (so to speak) from vampires, Val, Dan and Fang most decide if the New Blood Movement is friend or foe in there book. Combine Val's Buffy inspired attitude, her desperate need for a human\normal life, the realistic fight scenes and the hunky police partner and you get a hilirous yet almost sentimental book that will entrance readers, keep them one there toes, and make them turn their pages well int the night to finish this read.

See Jane Run:

Rating: 2 1/2 out of 5 stars.  Recommendation: Eh, it wouldn't kill you to read this.  The Intrigue: So listen, let's say you weren...
