The Accidental Demon Slayer by Angie Fox 292 pp.
Lizzie Brown is a mild mannered, almost stodgy, preschool teacher who begins this book with the worst thirtieth birthday ever. Her long lost Harley riding witch grandmother shows up, her beloved terrier, Pirate, begins talking, there is an ancient demon in her bathroom, and she learns she is actually a demon slayer. Lizzie ends up leaving with Grandma on the Harley to meet up with the rest of the Red Skull Coven, a motorcycle gang of witches. Along the way they connect with Dimitri, a shapeshifting gryphon who has been designated Lizzie's protector. After an attack at a werewolf run Shoney's, Grandma has been captured and is stuck in the 2nd level of Hell. Now Lizzie must learn to slay demons to rescue her. Fans of excessive use of similes will adore this book. I listened to the audio version and, while the narrator, Tavia Gilbert, is great at voices, her performance was too overwrought. Amusing but I'm not interested in continuing the series.
