Demon Hunting in the Deep South

It was news to me, but apparently, there is a small town in Alabama (named Hannah)  that is rife with demons and half human/half demon hybrids.  Really---would I make this up? Lexi George's new novel, Demon Hunting in the Deep South is a great paranormal romance romp!  Evie Douglass is the star of this series, of which this book is the second.  Evie is thrust into the mystery-solving business when her childhood nemesis Meredith (aka, the "Death Star") is brutally murdered and she turns out to be the police's number one suspect.  Meredith and her cronies have tormented Evie her entire life and, unfortunately, Meredith is not much nicer as a ghost!  Her best friend, Addy, owner of Hannah's popular florist shop,  is blissfully in love with gorgeous demon hunter Brand, who has an equally gorgeous brother named Ansgar.  Evie is wary of anyone who thinks her plus-size self is beautiful, but this does not deter Ansgar from his pursuit of her.  Evie is troubled by fuzzy recollections of past events---is Ansgar and her friends keeping things hidden abour her past?  Ansgar, Evie, Addy and Brand all team up to figure out who Meredith's killer is and clear Evie's name--while they all fight the demons and demonoids running wild in Hannah, Alabama.  I read this book without realizing I should have started with the first one Demon Hunting in Dixie.  I wasn't too confused, but the plot in the second book does build on a few things that occurred in the first book so I think that they should probably be read in order.  This book is a hilarious, typically southern, bawdy ride and is a great choice for anyone in the mood for a funny romance with a touch of supernatural thrills.  Visit Lexi George at www.LexiGeorge.com!
