Devilishly Sexy

Sometimes funny, often pedestrian, but always intriguing, Love’s second Devilishly contemporary paranormal (after Devilishly Hot) continues the premise of modern-day demon-slayers, innocent bystanders, and love conquering all in a setting meant to entice giggles. Michael Archer isolated himself for 33 years and now struggles to fit into the modern world as he learns current demon-slaying protocol. He rescues a woman from what he thinks is a suicide attempt, but fashionista Liza McLane is actually possessed and popping Benadryl to silence the demon. Michael and Liza’s subsequent attempts to have a passionate affair are marred by Liza’s need to conceal her demon from the man she thinks is a regular human. Punctuated by sometimes too-chirpy 1970s sayings left over from Michael’s last awareness of the world, the story moves ahead at a rapid, entertaining clip.
