The Unlikable Demon Hunter: Sting is book two in Deborah Wilde’s series which is branded as “Bridesmaids meets Buffy” and if you are looking for a paranormal book with a main character who really doesn’t have things figured out, you should consider this series.

I found myself enjoying Sting a bit more than I did book one as Nava is slowly getting settled in her new role as a demon hunter. She is very focused on getting the Brotherhood to consider helping her brother since she took his place with the demon hunters. Nava is also headed out with Rohan to go undercover so they can unmask a demon movie star but she and Rohan both have to face the feelings they have and as I’ve come to realize, nothing is really easy with Nava.

As Nava, Rohan, and Drio head to Prague, Nava is given the directive that she needs to follow instructions completely and of course, we all know that isn’t very realistic. While she does go against orders every now and then…ok, more often than not…I have to admit, in most cases Nava was spot on. She may not have as much experience as Rohan and Drio in the demon arena but she definitely knows how to gain someone’s attention and that is what pushes the story forward and gets Samson to reveal himself.

The other piece to this story is Rohan going back into the music world. He definitely had some challenges the first time around and because this mission requires him to jump back into that role, it forces both Rohan and Nava to face some things about themselves that they may not have if he didn’t go back. We also get to learn more about one of Rohan’s songs and what/who it is about. I think that is the trigger that forces Nava to start to figure out what she wants.

Of course, as the story progresses, there is a lot of action, some shenanigans, and of course some hook-ups that all come together as a great book two in this series. The character and story development was great and both the introduction of new characters as well as seeing some old favorites helped not only move the story forward, but also made me more invested in what happens next for all.

If you are looking for a new paranormal series, consider checking this one out. While I struggled a bit with Nava in book one, I found myself drawn into her story more in this book and I can’t wait to see what happens next. Of course, the ending was a killer and I can’t say why but once you read it, you will completely understand. I’m looking forward to book three and will be patiently waiting to get my hands on it.
