Wishlist Wednesday (6)
December 23rd, 2009 | Author: Tiffany
On My Wishlist is a weekly meme thought of by Book Chick City. It allows us to share the books we haven’t bought yet but are waiting to be bought and devoured. I know my wishlist is huge and I use it more to track what I want to buy next than to ask for gifts from the hubby, but this gives us a chance to share authors/series we are looking forward to! Check out the ‘On My Wishlist’ post from Book City Chick here.
I keep hearing about how awesome this series is but I admit the slightly futuristic/sci fi-ness of it has made me hesitant!

Author Ann Agguirre
Genre: Sci Fi
Publisher: Ace

A group of rogue fighters frees her…for a price: her help in overthrowing the established order.

I admit, I know absolutely nothing about the author or this book. I just liked the cover.Title: The Accidental Demon Slayer
Author Angie Fox
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Publisher: Love Spell
Publication Date: 29 July 2008Summary: It’s never a good day when an ancient demon shows up on your toilet bowl. For Lizzie Brown, that’s just the beginning. Soon her hyperactive terrier starts talking, and her long-lost biker witch Grandma is hurling Smuckers jars filled with magic. Just when she thinks she’s seen it all, Lizzie learns she’s a demon slayer-and all hell is after her.
Of course, that’s not the only thing after her. Dimitri Kallinikos, a devastatingly handsome shape-shifting griffin needs Lizzie to slay a demon of his own. But how do you talk a girl you’ve never met into going straight to the underworld? Lie. And if that doesn’t work, how dangerous could a little seduction be…?

My name is Tiffany and I am enamored with all things Kindle. When I am not cuddled up with my Kindle I am raising 2 stubborn little girls while attending college full time. I enjoy reading paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and dark urban fantasy. I have recently branched out to include some sci-fi and romance (both m/m and contemporary). I love a good alpha male, no matter what genre he is from.
I was hesitant about the heavy scifi angle of ‘Grimspace’ too. It sounded a little too ‘Startrek’/'Battlestar Gallactica’ to me. But then I read it and fell in love. It feels more like Joss Whedon’s Firefly/Serenity than anything else. The characters spew witty banter, there’s a *HOT* romance and a kick-ass female lead.
You will like it, for sure.
@Danielle – I love love love Joss Whedon, especially Firefly! That just bumpted it up my list
Grimspace is so good!!! Jax, the heroine, is awesome.
If you like your urban fantasy with a big dose of tongue in cheek, you’ll love The Accidental Demon Slayer. I’ve read both books in the series and they’re a hoot!
