Chaos Bites

By Lori Handeland

It's not the end of the world--yet. But Doomsday once again lies in wait for demon-slayer Elizabeth Phoenix. Several weeks ago she had no choice but to kill a man she loved. Sawyer was a witch and shape-shifter, a sorcerer of incredible strength. And now he's started to invade her dreams…in the most dangerous and sensuous ways imaginable.

Through her nighttime visits with Sawyer, Liz has acquired a new set of paranormal powers. She has also received a special new gift in the form of Sawyer's baby. Now nothing is as it seems as Liz combs through the chaos of her new life while trying to outrun death at every turn. She's going to need all the help she can get--even if that means dealing with her embittered ex-lover Jimmy Sanducci. He may be the only one left she can trust…since every other demon on earth is hell-bent on her destruction.

It started out good then it started to slow down I dont know what's up with that but well see what happens w/book 5...

With Sawyer dead but not gone and Jimmy playing by his own rules, Liz finally has a lead on the Key of Solomon. New Orleans may never be the same.The shapeshifting kitten is a nice touch, but even though things are heating up I'm still not completely sold. I wish I liked the characters better....

CHAOS BITES BY LORI HANDELAND is a interesting Urban Fantasy. It is set in the future. Is the fourth in the Phoenix Chronicles series. It can be read as a stand alone. The writer captures your interest from the beginning to the end. It has an absorbing plot with interesting characters. You have Liz, (a demon slayer, Phoneix, and the new leader of "The Light"). She is strong willed, beautiful, and trying to savethe world from Armageddon. This book has demon slayers, vampires, demons, a dead Navajo skinwalker (who Liz happened to love), fairies, an ex-lover who is another demon slayer, voodoo, powerful magic, danger at every turn,sex and power intertwined. Although, I would have liked a better ending to let the reader know some of what has happened to Sawyer the dead skinwalker, brought back to life by Liz, Jimmy, the ex-lover of Liz, who has disappeared, and the baby, Faith,(Sawyer's child), who someone or something is trying to kill and has now been kidnapped.If you enjoy fantasy, magic, danger, twists and turns you will enjoy this one. This book was received for review and details can be found at St.Martin's Paperbacks and My Book Addiction and More.
