The Demon's daughterhood She has worked in the Aerospace industry although now makes writing her full time career Happily married with two terrific sons she continues to live in rural Nova Scotia but makes a point of traveling as much as she can She reads in all genres but fantasy and contemporary romance are her writing loves site_link A demon hunting dystopian cowboy romance Uh yes please Well this was a pleasant little surprise and such an unusual setting making it unlike anything I ve read before I m really glad I picked it up. The Demon's daughterboard The story follows Hunter a demon slayer and Airie a half demon in a new world set 350 years past our own on a planet now scoured by demon winds our buildings cities and well everything buried under mountains of sand The setting and style couldn t have been interesting if it tried Add to that the cowboy like clothing and a population reverted back to a much simpler way of life in the now arid and harsh environment and I was sold from the get go I mean who can resists a sexy demon hunter in a leather duster Not me that s for sure. The demon's darling daughter pdf The writing style and story development was very easy to find a rhythm with even though the POV shifts between than just the two love interests which is something a little different from a lot of PNRs It gave the story telling a well rounded feel one I enjoyed immensely. The Demon's daughterliness Our heroine Airie was another Rapunzel esque character with an incredibly sheltered upbringing I seem to be on a bit of a run of those at the moment It makes her seem naive in some respects but her strength is undeniable And watching her growth is of course part of the fun. The Demon's daughtering Hunter was a deliciously layered character too the reluctant hero His life is nomadic drifting and without a base other than Freetown where his friend someone he saved from Demons many years ago runs a saloon It s also where Mamna a priestess manages to track him down to offer him a proposal Bring her a troublesome thief down off the mountain and receive a handsome reward One suspiciously overgenerous for the task. The Demon's daughtereys pub The best thing about THE DEMON S DAUGHTER for me was by far the wordbuilding Even overshadowing the romance Normally I might say that was a problem in a romance novel even a genre romance but in this instance for a first in series it was absolutely necessary as the setting was so unique. The Demon's daughtering Because of that concentration on set up however the romance lacked a tiny bit of punch Only a tiny bit mind A couple intimate scenes would have done the trick to solve it A few happy fun times But overall the romance was enjoyable and sweet and the addition of Scratch was a real bonus He was so cute for a character that doesn t speak. The Demon's daughtereys 4 Stars ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review English GENRE Paranormal RomanceTHEME Demon GoddessRECEIVED Blog TourBLOG The Demons Daughter was a great surprise I was expecting the usual paranormal romance especially with the very attractive guy on the cover But I got so much a wonderfully crafted plot with plenty of twist memorable characters and of course a building romance among the chaos. The Demon's daughterboard The Demon s Daughter follows Hunter who is known as the demon slayer and only one capable of killing them He s hired by a fallen priestess to bring her a known thief who is hidden at the abandon goddess temple Little does Hunter know that this so called thief is so much than meets the eye Airie has been hidden at the goddess temple for so long since her unusual birth She is half demon and half goddess making her unique Her life changes the day she runs into Hunter the known demon slayer. The Demon's daughtercard Hunter is the usual hero type strong devoted protecting the innocent and taking jobs only when he feels it s for something in the right When he accepts a job to bring in the thief Airie he gets a lot than he s bargained for What I liked about Hunter was that he always went with his gut Airie is someone that s never existed but he trusted the word of her priestess mother and took a chance He becomes understanding of Airie and even with his deep hatred for demons he learns to care for her Airie is a character that has to battle with two parts of herself her good and evil sides clash and it s interesting to watch the path she takes I liked how innocent she was and no matter what her darker side wanted she still had the heart of someone good that kept her such a sweet person I enjoyed the building trust that Airie and Hunter have they are wary since he s a hunter and she has a demon in her Usually the females in paranormal romances have a hard demeanor and want fight back but she wants peace and to uncover the truth behind her what he father and the fallen priestess want from her. The Demon's daughterkin What I loved about the world building was that this all started with two opposite people falling in love with each other a demon and goddess The world changed after this it becomes infested with demons thus creating a post apocalyptic type setting I m super curious on what Altenburg s next direction is going to take Hunter and Airie but also a secondary character named Blade I love when a series introduces new characters but also gives updates on the past ones as well. The Demon's daughterless Overall I enjoyed every bit of it Altenburg created a villain that is not what I expected Though the demons are the main evil the true villain is what caused everything to fall apart between two people who fell in love There is a ton of backstory western setting or outlook give me a feeling of sun and heat and I HATE heat I do NOT like cowboy hat or appareland seriously I still have no idea that why on earth a slayer would wear such skimpy clothes Isn t he supposed to. The Demon's daughterliness like kill demons o Well it s not like I m asking for a knight in a shining armor but a little clothes would have been better And apart from the fact that I didn t like the name Desire on a priestess it could have wonderfully fit if she wasn t one guess everything else is fine. The Demon's daughterless The opening of the story is really wonderful and interesting It reminded me of the style Medias Res where the story starts fro the middle of things As I kept on reading I found out about goddesses and demons Goddesses are for life nourishment and prosperity whereas the demons are for mishaps anarchy and chaos In one word goddesses are good and demons are evil so stereotypical huh In this never ending war between the two parties humans specifically women seem to be the biggest victims Since the goddesses have abandoned the earth and it is inhabited by demons and humans only the demons seem to act at their sweet will They violently invade women forces and ravishes them often leaving them pregnant with demon spawns that even kills their mothers at the very birth These spawns are seen as harmful and dangerous and both humans and demons kill them at their very sight The real twist is when it s seen that it s actually a goddess who fell in love with a demon and got pregnant afterwards It s her who we see delivering a baby while counting her last This baby Airie secluded from the world and raised by a Priestess have no idea about her origin But there are some who knows there is a female spawn who needs to be killed for peace and justice Here comes the Hunter. The Demon's daughterless Like we see in some paranormal romances the Hunter is assigned to kill the spawn as he is a demon slayer Airie doesn t fit in the idea of a demon spawn for the Hunter but it s his job He is all rough and tough cold hearted hot guy He killed his first demon after his sister was made a victim and had died giving birth to a spawn From that perspective he hates Airie as she reminds him of what happened to his sister But the rule of forbidden love is applied here as well No matter how much they detest each other at first they are attracted and connected to each other with an undeniable link afterwards They seem to challenge each other and at times banish yet balance each other s qualities and powers I loved the chemistry between them Though the Hunter sound hot I liked Airie as a character because she is portrayed as a wonderful person caring and understanding who accepts the truth about her with dignity when she finds it out. The Demon's daughterboard The Demon s Daughter is definitely one of the noteworthy paranormal romances I ve read so far The author creates a wonderful paranormal world where humans goddesses and demons are beautifully juxtaposed I ll be surely looking forward to reading the next book of the series English So looking at the cover does anyone think cowboys Yeah me too. The Demon's daughterhood Paula Altenburg is yet another new author brought to my attention by Netgalley and let me tell you she surpassed my imagination with this book The Demon s Daughter is the first book in Ms Altenburg s Demon Outlaw Series. The Demon's daughterling An eternal struggle between goddesses and demons has ended and the goddesses have left the wold containing the demons to one area of destroyed earth With no protection the demons run rampant upon the humans Enthralling innocent young women and leaving them broken. The Demon's daughterhood charley The Demons are looking for their true mate but if they don t find them they have no problem raping them and leaving them pregnant with Demon Spawn This half Demon Half Human combination leads to abomination and both the humans and the Demons kill them on site Rather like Reneesme their very birth kills their mother and they are always male But rumor has it that there is now a female spawn and all sides are looking for her. The Demon's daughterling Hunter is the Demon Slayer he killed his first Demon at a very young age after finding his sister s body broken and her Demon Spawn son beside her First he killed the Spawn then he went after the Demon Protected by an amulet he found as a child it seems while it is difficult and deadly he can kill Demons without dying in the process When the corrupt Priestess who rules Freetown calls upon him to find the thief on goddess mountain he questions why but in the end accepts the job figuring if not him then someone else Looking for a Spawn he finds a beautiful woman A contradiction instead Beautiful and innocent. The Demon's daughterboard Upon her goddess mother s death Airie is raised in the way of the goddesses by the priestess that was there upon her birth Raised believing in the purity of of the goddesses teaching she still needs to learn how to control all aspects of her gifts Only trouble is no one told her that she is part Demon and Part goddess and ALL immortal When she met Hunter one preconceived notion after another falls. The Demon's daughtering About herself and the world around her and yet she manages to remain true to her beliefs Grieving for the woman she believes is her mother she is forced to flee the mountains with the man who is there to kill her. The Demon's daughterless This book while not a slow starter takes it s time telling the story It s a gradual pull on the reader until before you know it you no desire to put it down Airie is force to face one debilitating truth after another and yet I found myself constantly pulling for her Watching Hunter learn how to give up on his preconceived notions and learn to accept Airie as she is was a joy to behold Of course Hunter has his own revelations to deal with He learns where his amulet comes from and is stunned. The Demon's daughtering The average Demon and sometimes Humanity itself I honestly felt that the Demon Lord had depth of character layers and honestly I felt for him He was searching for something he hadn t quite realized he lost The Priestess was extremely well written a woman so corrupted on the inside that the evil just bubbles up and ooozes out of her. The Demon's daughtering Yes this was a well written book and I am so very excited that it is the beginning of the series NOT a stand alone book I would hate to leave this world with only one book. The Demon's daughtering ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of The Demon s Daughter provided by netgalley and will be released on March 26 2013 For reviews by Shauni check out Tea and Book andBodice Rippers Femme Fatales and Fantasy English 4 stars Apparently I missed something in the world building here because from all of the from all the blog tour interviews with the author which I hunted down to try and see what I missed this is set in a dystopian near future I was thinking that the setting was on the order of an alternate Old West in a world that is not quite ours which is populated with demons and goddesses Doesn t matter either way because I liked what I read Despite my not getting the actual time period of the story the background bit of the world in which demons are evil lusty and seductive so they are a threat to humans and eat people if they get a chance and goddesses were forces of good but likewise seductive to humans though goddesses no longer have a physical presence in the world is just a bit of what adds depth to the world and sets up the conflict that has it s origin in a demon s love for a goddess and anger mistrust and betrayal that divided them I really liked both of the leads the demon slaying Hunter who is sent to catch a thief and the innocent yet dangerous young woman who is his prey and who is part demon There is an instant attraction between the pair which the hero can t trust because demon s are seductive and he has every reason to hate demons but as he comes to know her he can t help but see that she is good despite her heritage She does get into a bit of trouble due to her lack of knowledge about how things work in the the human part of the frontier but not so much as to be annoying One thing that I thought was nice is that when their relationship moves beyond enemies her thoughts about how he couldn t ever love her because of her heritage aren t allowed to fester there is of course a bit of angst but he is fairly perceptive and speaks up to try to clear up misunderstandings. The Demon's daughtering I did have weird little nit at the beginning of the story long before the leads appear we meet a priestess of the goddesses and her name is Desire and that name put me in an odd mindset when I read the sample which left me with enough ambivalence at the end of the sample that I didn t finally pick this up until I saw that the next book was coming soon. The Demon's daughtering Nits aside I really did enjoy this book It is a little slow to get going but I really liked where it went and I am looking forward to the second book of the trilogy and fortunately it s out soon English First in the new series Demon Outlaws The Demon s Daughter by Paula Altenburg has set the bar for the rest of the series lucky us There has always been an eternal battle between the goddesses who bring life and prosperity and the demons who bring trouble and chaos The goddesses have abandoned Earth leaving the demons trapped here doing what demons do best spreading evil As they breed with humans either through enthrallment or rape the results are abominations referred to as demon spawn who are summarily killed at birth What no one knew was that a goddess fell in love with a demon gave birth and gave her daughter to a priestess to raise as her own on a secluded mountain Airie had no idea she was part demon part goddess nor did she know a demon hunter has been paid to find her supposedly to bring her to justice Hunter is a demon slayer who killed his first demon after finding his sister s lifeless body lying next to her newborn demon spawn His hatred for demons is as legendary as his ability to kill them So why once he finds Airie does she not quite fit the demon spawn mold Airie possesses a kind and caring nature yet has the strength of a demon when angered When her priestess mother dies and the mountain comes crashing down they must flee together As Airie learns to accept who and what she is Hunter learns to see her in a different light and realizes he just may be a pawn in an evil game centered around Airie And I keep hearing the song Devil or Angel in my head Reminds me of the conflict in Hunter s heart I guess After a start filled with necessary details character development background and world building the story picks up the pace and roars to an excitingly satisfying finish. The Demon's daughterboard 5 Stars I honestly feel that this is a well written and interesting book but it was just not for me In a nutshell it had everything I could have wanted Apocalyptic YupRomantic YupStabbing People YupAgain it just didn t grab me I honestly don t feel this is the author s fault in any way I think the concept was initially very interesting If you enjoy adventure action with only a dash of romance then you ll probably enjoy this book than I did I feel that Ms Altenburg is a fantastic writer so I won t be giving up on her any time soon English The goddesses have disappeared but one has left something very special behind Something that might be able to save the world from the demons that are ravaging it. The Demon's daughterhood Airie has been raised as a priestess s daughter with no idea of her lineage As a half breed demon spawn Airie has been kept away from the outside world for her protection Both demon and man hate spawn and destroy them on sight but Airie is something much . The Demon's daughterboard keyboard The surviving priestesses are corrupted by power and have aligned themselves with the demons The high priestess hires a demon slayer named Hunter to retrieve Airie Hunter is told that Airie is demon spawn and must be delivered alive so she can be turned over to the demon lord Hunter is unsure about turning any woman over to the demon lord When he meets Airie his entire world perceptions are uprooted All his concepts of spawn good and pure will be challenged Can Hunter overcome his personal demons and see past her parentage Airie truly was a magnificent and genuine character Even with her demon heritage she is true to herself tender hearted and ultimately na ve in the ways of the world I loved watching the gradual acceptance of Hunter seeing Airie become a woman to protect from just spawn The Demon s Daughter was a fabulous start to what is sure to be a great series. The Demon's daughterboard I m looking forward to Blade s story This ARC copy of The Demon s Daughter was given to me by Entangled Publishing LLC Entangled Select in exchange for a honest review This book is set for publication on March 26 2013 English This was better than I expected Even though this isn t a historical western it has the same feel with border towns surrounded by desert a saloon killers and so on The world is overrun by demons They come at night and women who bear their children die at childbirth They eat people It is a post apocalyptic world with ruins of the old cities and the outlines of old buildings now buried under the sand There isn t any info dumping Most of the world building you see through character s eyes and hear in their thoughts They see ruins trade posts and slave caravans while travelling Since the focus is on the two main characters Airie and Hunter it is enough Hunter is hired to bring Airie to a priestess who had forsaken her duties to goddesses a long time ago because of her jealousy and infatuation with Demon Lord Being a Demon Slayer whose sister was one of those unfortunate women who got killed by a demon spawn he accepts What he finds is not what he expected English This is the book that when I was younger and reading straight fantasy I always on the hunt for a strong fantasy with really strong romantic elements I never found it then but I have now The writing is strong and the characters engaging the world Altenburg creates is extremely vivid and her voice perfectly suited to the world she created It was a world easy to get lost in. The demon's darling daughter pdf If you are looking for a strong fantasy set in a fantastic gritty western world that has a gripping story memorable characters and looking for all of this wrapped with a bit of romance The Demon s Daughter is worth your time I m looking forward to the next in this series English
