I stopped reading this in ch 14 which is a good 3/4 of the way through. It started out ok, the heroine, Lizzie, gets shoved in her bathroom by her previously unknown biker witch grandma while she comes into her demon slayer powers. A little demon pops up in her toilet and after Lizzie takes care of it the crap has hit the fan, they have to escape with her (now) talking dog on Grandma's pink Harley. They encounter the hero in Griffin form, Dimitri, in the midst of being attacked by Pixies and Grandma's bike is trashed in the fight. They end up at the Grandmother's "coven" of nasty biker witches who use road kill in their spells and seem to be genuinely mean on many levels. I stopped enjoying the story at this point. They wiped raccoon liver on Lizzie's face in a ceremony and boss her around, their bar is trashed and they move into a Shoney's with a bunch of mean werewolves once Grandma has been captured by the bad demon. The hero has barely stayed in the story by now and the heroine has no relationship with anyone, no character growth... and I got tired of reading all the gnarly things done to her by a group of gross witches! Normally I don't have much of an ick factor, but why push it in a romance novel? The characters were all over the place and poorly written once more than 3 people had to be wrote into a scene. This was a bad novel, the ideas were cool, but not constructed into story form well.
