In one sense I liked Demon Hunter better thanThe Ghost Hunter (The Hunter Series). I think the writing was better. Not that it was bad in the first one, but I liked it more here. I also liked the juxtaposition of Devon's Victorian upbringing with his strong warrior nature. But it was his broken, puppy dog moments that made me love him. Ellie's amazing backbone was a joy. I much prefer a strong heroine to a wimpy one. Plus, the occasion in which she took on more traditionally male romance characteristics (like thinking of Devon as hers) made me smile. I like it when authors play with genre tropes.What I didn't like was the constant and often misplaced descriptions of Devon's amorousness. Well-nigh half the book was dedicated to explaining how enamoured he was with Ellie. We get it already. It detracted from the rest of the plot and often slowed the action down. I had hoped that if there is to be a third book it would be based on Kipps....I really liked him.Anyhow, I don't feel like my time was waisted, but I'm little relieved that there isn't another one yet. I liked them enough to read it if there was, but am also not disappointed to be moving on.
