Battle of the Funny Authors! Katie MacAlister vs. Angie Fox
I don’t know how the sex with the dislocated shoulder defense didn’t work, but man, you all came out and REPRESENTED your authors! Nicely done, folks!
Round 1: Funny Authors went to Molly Harper and her trapped naked man. In my opinion, those are the best kind of naked men. <g>
Genre: Humorous Paranormal
Competitors: Katie MacAlister’s In the Company of Vampires and Angie Fox’s The Last of the Demon Slayers
Rules: Read our champions’ testimonials and comment with whether you agree or disagree and, most importantly, WHY. Be respectful but feel free to have fun. Saying the lead character in one book could kick the other lead character’s ass is perfectly okay. Derogatory comments about the authors? Not so much.

Next up (Saturday): Gini Koch’s Alien Tango and Gena Showalter’s Ecstasy in Darkness
Goddess Dani, in defense of Katie MacAlister’s In the Company of Vampires
In the Company of Vampires is the latest of Katie MacAlister’s Dark Ones novels and she continues to deliver a sweet and easy-to-relate-to love story hidden beneath a hysterical plot. This particular book finds our heroine grappling with how to fall madly in love while retaining her own identity. Granted, she’s falling for a vampire, she’s the only one who can return his soul to him, and she’ll be bound to him for all eternity, but these are minor details right? Okay, so maybe not so easy to relate to…
But never fear! Our girl has support in the form of three very poorly-dressed vikings on furlough from Valhalla, who are not only there to help her vanquish a god, but to give advice on love and sex — loudly. Bless their hearts, the vikings are like human Golden Retrievers. Cute, fun to play with, and loyal, but not very bright and if let off their leash they’re likely to hump everything they come into contact with. Did I mention there’s a god to be vanquished and our girl Friday is the only one who can do it? Her mother is also missing, except she’s the only one who seems to think so. Add all these ingredients, stir, and viola! you have the perfect recipe for hijinx. Yeah I said it. Hijinx. Consider investing in some Poise pads before reading cause this book will have you peeing yourself with laughter.
Shirley, in defense of Angie Fox’s Last of the Demon Slayers
Hang on for another wild ride with Lizzie, the newbie demon slayer.
All Lizzie wants is a normal date with Dimitri, her hunky, loving griffin. But, as usual, fate throws obstacles in her path, from a dye-job gone wrong to a long-lost dad in danger of turning demon. Once again, Lizzie is determined to save those she loves and learns a lot about herself while doing it.
With a cast of crazy, but loving, characters, plus the darkest demon and his dregs, this story runs full throttle from start to finish. After all the fun and antics, there are serious moments that add a touch of reality not found in the earlier books.
Hot Griffin shifters, smart mouthed talking dogs, sassy and snarky witches with a penchant for blowing things up and a sexy and smart heroine who has had everything but the kitchen sink thrown at her….. who could ask for more?
Angie Fox’s Demon Slayer series just gets better and better. The Last of the Demon Slayers, the characters, the fun, the love – all grow with each new adventure. Be sure you do not miss any of it. Go pick up the whole set and be sure to read them in order.
Though I love MacAlister’s books I had to go with Angie Fox’s Demon Slayer. Both series are fantastic but Pirate got to get my vote.
Hrm, I have never read MacAlister even though she and I are of the same mind about Zak from Ghost Adventures needs to be topless more.. I have to go with Angie Fox
Oh wow, my vote has to go with Katie MacAlister, I love her books, I have never read any Angie Fox and after reading this I think I must. Thanks!
I haven’t read MacAlister’s books but boy does this one sound like fun. Helpful Vikings just puts a great big smile on my face.
Angie Fox all the way! Some of my favorite and most original characters in this genre are from this series.
I love Angie Fox’s charcaters and Pirate is tough to top…
Lisa
I love Angie Fox, but I have to vote for Katie MacAlister – she’s just the best.
I haven’t read this MacAlister book yet but I definitely will now. It sounds great and the combination of paranormal and humor is my favorite! I have been reading the demon slayer series by Angie Fox and LOVE it! Talking terriers, grandma biker witches and a kick ass heroine… what could be better??
My vote is for Last of the Demon Slayers!
Gotta go with Katie MacAlister on this one!
I like both but gotta go with The Last of the Demon Slayers by Angie Fox.
This time I had to go with Katie MacAlister. How can you fail with the vikings helping out?
Love Katie, But I had to vote for Angie!
I’m going with Katie!
Angie, Angie, Angie!
Haven’t read Kate’s book, but Angie’s books are creativity-plus. Love ‘em!
Love katie macalister’s book!
Katie MMacAlister
Woo hoo! Thanks, you all! Not that I’m peeking or anything, but…okay, I’m peeking. You know I can’t stay away from a party.
Pirate is making Vote for Angie signs, but I think he still needs to work on his spelling. Most of them say “Nancy.” But he’s sharing his bacon, so I’m not complaining.
Angie Fox…all the way! Pirate… LOVE HIM!
Angie Fox! I totally want to read about griffin shifters.
Katie gets my vote.
I love the story line of Angie’s books so I am going to have to go with her.
Damn this is a hard one but I’m all about Angie Fox!
Copying the name of a great Steely Dan album “Katie did”
My vote is for Katie MCAllister.
Another toughie vote I went with Angie.
I haven’t read either of these…but I went with Katie…
Go Angie! Pirate is awesome!
ANGIE hands down
ANGIE hands down
Katie Mac all the way!!!
I was supposed to do angie fox but some how I’m at a loss, I just had back surgery and I’m taking oxocytocin and really don’t know sometimes what I’m doing or what I should have been doing. Please forgive me but I’m just really not like my self. This is no excuss but I hope I have not ruined it for Angie Fox. This one of her best in the demon slayers. Lizzie comes out in this book alot more comfertable in her slayer abilites. She is sent a rope spell and the rope has a life of it’s own. Lots of humor relife does come in small packages. I mean the rope is a bad thing that says nothing but you can’t help but laugh at.
Her father is, was ,a angel but sold his powers to Zatar a bad ass demon but he got his in the end from some colorful biker witchs, Lizzy, handsome Dimitri, (lover extronadire), a dog and his dragon. Now with a lot like that who could ever be beaten!!
The witches spells are something to marvel at and they carry them around in glass bottles. At least they are doing something about being green and recycleing. The witches keep you laughing all thru the book but when the fighting starts they always have your back!
Angie finds out in the end that her father does’t want to be a dad or an angel
but that is good. He was just a sperm donar and her angelic part of her helped
out in the conclusion of the book.
All in all this is one ass kicking and kissing book and I can’t wait for the next Lizzy book.
So sorry about missing and mucking up my part in the smack down.
Lisa D. USA
Honey, you’re fine! Honestly! Angie is kicking ass and taking names. It’s all good. : ) Are you feeling better?
Angie all the way!
Oh my gosh, Lisa. You are awesome – don’t worry about this. Take care of you! In fact, I’m sending over some hot shape shifting griffins right now. They have orders to bend to your every whim and to help you feel better. Please use them well. They are a bit lonely and in need of attention.
Angie
Voted for Angie Fox…I just think her story sounds more interesting to me at this point:) What’s not to like about a Griffin shapeshifter?
Have to send my vote for the wonderful Angie Fox as Lizzy, Pirate and the gang kept me laughing at a time in my life when I REALLY needed to laugh! I would just love to have a pup like Pirate but I have to settle for my children, a dog who thinks he’s human and 2 cats/1 kitten instead. I am going to run out for Katie’s book though – it sounds like another great pick-me-up especially when I don’t drink coffee lol!
Geez – this feels like choosing between chocolate cake and ice-cream …
I love both writers but I adore the vikings … so, I vote for Katie Mac!
