The mission: kill demons. The catch: infuriatingly sexy minder. The challenge: don't get the two confused.
Nava Katz traded a lost dream for an impressively cynical attitude. The one thing she does care about? Her hard-working twin brother. Then she interrupts his induction ceremony into a secret supernatural society, accidentally torches his life-long ambition, and steals his destiny.
Wait—whaaaat?
She expects to be chastised, not thrown into a trial by fire, battling demons to keep humanity safe while she’s learning to master her powers and facing her worst nightmare: a purpose.
To add insult to literal injury, it turns out that evil fiends are a delight compared to the all-male hunters, who shockingly, are not cool with a woman in their ranks.
They assign her to their most ruthless slayer: Rohan, a man whose inner demons earn nods of respect from actual ones. He’s pursuing his own high-stakes mission, with no interest in babysitting some chick that everyone expects to die soon.
But Nava excels in defying people’s expectations, and besides, spite is a powerful motivator. So, she hatches a plan to bring her brother into the fold alongside her. Sure, it involves defeating a vengeful demon out for blood, but you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few bones.
The Brotherhood wants her gone. The demons want her dead. First gig as a Chosen One and she's already nailing it.
Featuring a snarky heroine, kickass action, and spicy romance, this laugh-out-loud, deliciously addictive series sucker-punches you in the heart when you're not looking.
Fall into bed with a demon hunter and read all night!

The Unlikeable Demon Hunter is a pleasant, engaging, and action-packed debut in the Nava Katz series by Deborah Wilde.
I wasn’t to sure about Nava nor this book, but the more I read the more I was pulled in and couldn’t put the book down.
Nava is one of those characters who is annoying and unlikeable, but you can’t help but end up liking her. The more I got to know this unlikeable character the more I felt for her and what her family has done to her. It’s heartbreaking and emotional. She’s perceived as the failure and the screwup, when her twin brother is the shining star who was Chosen and trained to be a demon hunter. When things go wonky and she is Chosen; her family doesn’t ask her how she feels about it. It’s sad to see how little faith they have in her, even her twin turns on her. And, the Brotherhood, who is an all male Brotherhood, doesn’t like this change. How many Chosen have they missed when they left out all the girls born to the Knights? It’s a very emotional journey into Nava’s head and a very action-packed adventure as she tries to come to terms with everything.
We have something of a romance starting. Something is going on between Nava and Rohan. They have a strong sexual draw and do have a few sexy times, but their relationship is new. I’m not on board yet, but look forward to seeing where things go.
The story is emotional, action packed, and fast-paced. The ending leaves you wanting more, wanting to find out what happens between Rohan and Nava, if the Brotherhood will accept her, and what happens on the next mission. It’s an intoxicating and invigorating read.
I enjoyed The Unlikeable Demon Hunter and look forward to the next installment.
Rated: 4 Stars

The maybe-demon from Josh’s alleyway was back, having stopped about five feet away and triggering the motion sensor. What with Josh’s sister trying to kill me and all, he’d fallen off my radar.Aloe gooped over my fingers, having clutched the frond hard enough to break it, and my terror and an intense curiosity resurfaced. There was no denying his compelling presence. Plus, he had those long lashes that were my Kryptonite. I opened my mouth to scream. Or drool.
He held a finger up to his delectable lips to keep me quiet, circling me with lazy strides, checking me out.
I’d have been offended by the blatant appraisal except under his intense scrutiny, I lit up with an electric zing. I found myself stroking the aloe stalks in an obscene manner. Even knowing he couldn’t see my blush since I was in the shadows didn’t kill my utter mortification at jerking off plant life in not-so-subtextual yearning.
He stalked toward me, his leather jacket rustling with each step.
I held up a hand to stop him, the faintest electric crackle pulsing off my skin.
He didn’t stop, didn’t slow. In fact, he kept up his steady approach until his hand covered mine. My magic shocked us both at his touch. I gasped and shivered as pleasure, not pain, rumbled through me.
Hand still clasped in his, he stared at me suspiciously, instead of in fear, but had I wanted, I could have broken his hold. Not a demon, then? He fingered the thin silver necklace I wore with surprising gentleness, toying with the cute floral pendant dangling off it that read “I will kick you in the balls if I have to.”
“Should I be scared?” Given how he sounded like sex, sin, and salaciousness–the true definition of a triple threat–I decided that yes, he was most definitely a demon.
I met his mocking gaze, my rooted stance and beating heart placing me somewhere between morbid fascination and noping the hell out at warp speed.
Deborah will be awarding a $10 Amazon/BN GC to one winner, another winner will win a print copy of the book (International), both are randomly drawn via rafflecopter during the tour.

About Deborah Wilde
Deborah Wilde is a global wanderer and hopeless romantic. After twelve years as a screenwriter, she was also a total cynic with a broken edit button, so, she jumped ship, started writing funny, sexy, urban fantasy and paranormal women’s fiction novels, and never looked back.
She loves writing smart, flawed, wisecracking women who can solve a mystery, kick supernatural butt, banter with hot men, and still make time for their best female friend, because those were the women she grew up around and admired. Granted, her grandmother never had to kill a demon at her weekly friend lunches, but Deborah is pretty sure she could have.
Pick up a Deborah Wilde book and enjoy magic, sparks, and snark!

Thank’s Braine. I’m glad this won turned out well despite my misgivings and hesitation at the start. I’m glad I read and can’t wait to see what happens next. Nava still has a lot of growing up to do and I’d like to see how she changes. The title perfectly reflects this novel and Nava’s character. Great was a great start.
You are welcome. It was engaging and action-packed. Now I’m curious to see what happens next in Nava’s world. ^_^
Sometimes it works when a character comes out strong in the beginning. I may get turned off but my curiosity as to why she’s the heroine is up. Like I want to discover why she’s heroic which obviously means she has every chance to win me over.
