The Demon's Lexicon (Demon's Lexicon, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 31 more book reviews


The more I think about this book, the worse it is. How can an author take such awesome elements and make something so bad? It had some action and humor, so I was at least able to finish it, but ugh. This book and at least one of its sequels is guilty of some of the things that I despise most about YA books: bad romance, a stupid female character, a bad/creepy guy, and plot/logic problems.

I expected something like the TV show Supernatural: two brothers bickering between saving the world and/or ridding it of baddies. The first couple of pages were like Supernatural, but after the introduction of Mae it quickly turned into a pile of dung. It was particularly bad after I read a review that spoiled her role in the next book, which made me hate her and the series even more.

Bottom line: I'm not bothering with the rest of these books.
