Summary taken from Chapters/Indigo.ca:
A
warrior, a demon, and the girl next door. . .
Looking
For Trouble
Addy
Corwin is a florist with an attitude. A bad attitude, or so her mama says,
'cause 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-lease. But right after Brand shows up, strange things start to happen. Dogs
talk and reanimated corpses stalk the quite streets of Hannah. Her mortal enemy
Meredith, otherwise known 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...
Review:
Well this book was very different and very likable at the
same times. I’ve never read about an inter-galactic demon hunter. Well I have
read Touched by an Alien by Gini Koch, which does sort of resemble this book,
except her involves Aliens, secret agents and a more in depth plot and story
line. However, this one was new and refreshing. Although, there were many
little odd things. More like awkward moments. Like someone bursting into flames
and it’s the only time it happens and its barely explained or touched on. And
there is a zombie for a little bit. I guess there are just many different
supernatural being and events in this novel it almost seemed a little crowded
and off focus. That being said it was still a pretty decent story line.
Although why she was chosen was never really explained. This novel is also very
heavily focused on the romance/sex for the first half of the novel and then it
sort of didn’t focus on it so much which also made it a little awkward. But the
hot and heavy scenes were very hot and very heavy. And... made me want a Brand of
my own.
Good:
Brand—hot. Hottie. Made me melt. Also appose to lying.
Love him
Addy—Tough chick. And uses a lot of southern slang
Bad:
The Thrawl—She was not explained very well. I mean she
sounded sort of like a bad guy but is apparently good. She sucks emotions out
of people…???
Overall (Writing style, story line, and general):
Overall some of the book was awkward. I felt like the
story line needed further explanations, there were some parts that could have
been cut completely and a better focus on what the author really wants to come
across. However, the characters were interesting, the guys were hot, and some
things were a little scary and actually made my heart race a bit. So I have to
admit that I will continue with the series with the hopes that it will pick up
better in the next book.
