Lizzie Brown’s life is turned upside-down when she finds out the truth about herself. She is a demon-slayer, a job that runs in her family. Pretty soon, her life is in danger as she finds lots of people want her dead but she finds a protector in Dimitri Kallinikos. Dimitri is a griffin who can change his shape. He has his own reason for pursuing a relationship with Lizzie. What is a girl to do but try to ride this rollercoaster called her life?

Lizzie is a fabulous character. She is very memorable and so very normal. We totally understand and feel for her as she has to adjust to her new life. Lizzie is the main focus of the story and everyone else supports her. Dimitri who is a hunky griffin makes Lizzie focus on the woman within. Her grandmother and the witches who will make you laugh. Pirate is her dog who suddenly can talk and who maintains a soft spot in Lizzie’s heart. This cast of supporting characters enriches this story. The characters play off each other in a positive way and I loved how they interact. The author has done a great job in character development and we get to know them well.

THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER is Angie Fox’s first book. It is a fabulous start for her. The story is fun, fast-paced and filled with lots action. It is a non-stop ride as we follow Lizzie on her journey. She imparts her reactions and thoughts to what is happening to her. It works because it is her story to tell. It will be hard to put this down once you begin reading as you will want to find out what happens and I am hoping there will be a sequel as the ending provided that option.
