Review: Unsure at first, but came to enjoy

It took me a while to get into these books.  I downloaded the first one separately as it was free at the time to see how I liked it and I admit there were several times in the first few chapters where I was tempted to not finish.  I found the main female a little silly and the environments and characters she found herself in and around a bit over the top as though the author was trying to create the most bizarre unappealing scenarios.  But like the Dresden Files, which took me a whole two books to really get into and I initially hated one of the main characters, this author finally hit her groove and things started to come together and Lizzie became more enjoyable and less silly.  I found myself liking the other characters more as the books progressed as well and I believe this is due to the author's writing style/ability growing stronger.  The first book was okay, but I found myself enjoying the 2nd and 3rd books much more.I liked that while Lizzie is the Demon Slayer, she isn't afraid to ask for help or depend on others.  She doesn't have to save the whole world and everyone in it all by herself every single time.  She realizes this and it adds a pleasant dimension to her character. I look forward to reading the next books in the series.
