Review:
Beg me to Slay is not my first book by Lisa Kessler, nor will it be my last. I loved Beg Me to Slay. This was a wonderful fun story, with a touch of witty humor and lots of action. Tegan is our heroine, and she is right from the start a tough kick assed one. 4 years ago she was attacked, and those scars remain. But Tegan spend the years making herself be able to defend herself against any kind of attack again, and she becomes a black belt. This also becomes her business running a martial arts school. She hires a private investigator, to help her find the man who attacked years before, after she saw him again from afar.
Enter Gabe, the private investigator, who is also a demon slayer. He immediately recognizes the scar that Tegan has from her attack, as that of a demon. He takes her case, and is determined to stay by her side every moment to protect her. Of course, Tegan (no her name is not Megan), doesn’t believe in demons, and isn’t too thrilled with Gabe following her every move. Her comments at times are hysterical, and I thoroughly enjoyed their banter. Needless to say, it doesn’t take Tegan long to learn there really are demons in this world. But make no mistake, this is an exciting and action filled story, as Gabe and Tegan become awesome partners to find the attacker, slay demons, and try discover how to stop a demon war on the horizon.
But most importantly, the romance that built between Gabe and Tegan was awesome. Both having their own issues to fight; hers getting past her attack; and his have lost his fiancée to a demon attack. It was beautiful to watch them both fall hard for each other, and try to rise above their own demons.
It was an exciting story all the way through, and just when you thought it was over, another twist comes to knock you for a loop. I could not put this book down. Lisa Kessler has created a wonderful couple, who work so well as the warriors they are, not to mention how great they are together. I love the title of this book…Beg Me to Slay, but I will make a slight change. Please Lisa, I BEG YOU TO STAY with these super heroes. It would be so much fun to continue their storyline, as they battle demons together. I want more of Tegan and Gabe.
