The Unlikeable Demon Hunter

A Devilishly Funny Urban Fantasy Romance (Nava Katz, Book 1)

By: Deborah Wilde

Narrated by: Hollie Jackson

The mission: kill demons. The distraction: one hot-as-hell slayer. Welcome to urban fantasy’s funniest, spiciest, demon-hunting trial by fire.

Nava Katz is an expert at lowering expectations. She’s cynical, aimless, and perfectly content to let her twin brother, Ari, be the family’s golden boy. He’s the one who trained his whole life to join the Brotherhood.

He’s also the one the magical induction ring was supposed to choose. But when Nava crashes the ceremony, the ring doesn’t fit Ari. It snaps onto her finger.

It’s her worst nightmare: a purpose.

Stuck with powers she doesn't want or know how to use, and a Brotherhood that’s just waiting for her to fail, Nava needs a crash course in survival. Unfortunately, her teacher is Rohan Mitra—an ex-rock god turned slayer whose inner demons earn nods of respect from actual ones. He’s dangerous, tempting, and the best bad decision ever.

Now she must master her magic and survive the demons hunting her long enough to stay alive.

The Brotherhood wants her gone. The demons want her dead. She’s already nailing it.

Listen now.

20 year old written as old hag

I genuinely hated this book. For a novel released in 2024, the 20-year-old protagonist, born in the early 2000s, sounds like a painfully stereotypical Jewish sitcom character from the 90s. Being Jewish is central to her identity, but it’s portrayed with all the subtlety of Grace Adler from Will & Grace or Fran Fine from The Nanny, broad, exaggerated, and completely dated. The references feel decades old, and the narrator’s voice and accent for Baruch only made it worse. An incredibly frustrating listen.
