Review: Good twist on the regular demon hunter story; drags on a bit though

The author has really put a lot of thought in to all the demon lore and the Templars. I'm not huge on the either so I don't know how much Ms. Elliott's version differs from standard Templar lore, though I did like that she didn't focus on the religious aspect of anything.Ash is likable, and although I don't always agree with the way she goes about her life she is written in a realistic way. The book moves fairly quick and there is a lot of action/magic. I was reading this on my iPhone so it got a bit tedious after awhile - I had to read in small doses.There's a decent love story, though I got a bit frustrated after awhile because she didn't know what she wanted and I couldn't decided who I wanted either!The biggest problem for me is I felt like I was plopped in the middle of an on going story. That itself isn't the problem since that's pretty much how 100% of stories are told, it's the fact that you're left in the dark so much of the time. Not just about mysterious demons or veils, but of Ash's life and past. The author uses a lot of flashbacks to fill in the blanks but it gets tiring and boring after awhile.Anyway good read - light romance, magic, demons, Templars (knights), and cute baby!
