Demonfire: The Demonslayers
Eddy is a no-nonsense reporter who leaves stories of alien races to her father and scoffs at such notions as the town statue coming to life. Until said statue attacks her home. According tothe mysterious Dax, demons are crossing over to Earth, determined to disrupt the balance between it, Abyss, and Eden, and to destroy them all. Eddy and Dax know they can’t stop this catastrophe on their own, and luckily for them, alien races aren’t merely the stuff of fairy tales after all. A ragtag band of races goes forth to stop the demons, but time is running out. Douglas, best known for Wolf Tales (2006), launches The DemonSlayers series, a slightly different breed. Here she creates a blend of adventure story and light paranormal romance that offers an offbeat take on the popular demon trend without leaning on chick-lit tropes. --Nina C. Davis
