"Larson treats the English language as a sort of toy to play with and use for experimentation; language is not just used to tell the story, in other words, but is a part of the story, an extension of its narrator, Dewey Decimal, one of the more offbeat characters in fiction. A fitting conclusion to a unique and memorable trilogy."—Booklist"A sharp and satisfying conclusion to one of the most unique hard-boiled arcs in recent memory."—Kirkus Reviews"Dewey is an unlikely hero, a gimpy, smart-mouthed loner, obsessed with a brand-name hand sanitizer. His indomitable spirit and his distinctive ghetto-infused, educated patter give Larson's series its unique and spicy character."—Publishers WeeklyPraise for the Dewey Decimal series:"The most incredible thing about Larson's novel is just how credible it is...and the prose is perfect, as tweaked and jumpy and memorable as the man known as Dewey...

Product DescriptionHer boss is a fairy, her ex-lover is a Knight Templar, and she spends her days fighting the demons that plague London's streets. But what's really complicating Aisling McKay's life is being a single mother to a nine-month-old baby girl.Ever since the End Times, magic has been leaking into our world. Magic and demons, shadowy beings that possess humans' bodies and destroy their souls. The Monastic Order of the Knights Templar have revealed themselves to the world as guardians and defenders of the veil between the demon world and ours. But the Templar Order is growing weaker, and the veil is starting to shred and tear. Often all that stands between humans and complete demonic possession are professional demon fighters, Hunters like Aisling McKay.Aisling already has enough to handle between her day job, her (very unplanned) baby daughter, Willow--and avoiding Kieran, Willow's father and a Templar Knight. But now a new danger is abroad in London--and facing it will set Aisling on a collision course with the past she thought she'd escaped for good.Demon Hunter and Baby is approximately 98,000 words long and is appropriate for all ages. It is the first of a planned series that will send Aisling on a desperate search back into her own past ... and will lead her to long-buried truths that will shake the foundations of everything she believes. Truths that have the potential either to save or to utterly destroy the human world. About the AuthorThe daughter of two English literature PhDs, Anna Elliott grew up in Connecticut in a house filled with books. She does not actually have any experience with demon fighting, but she does have two little girls. And while in college, she spent some time living almost exactly where her heroine Aisling McKay does in the South London district of New Cross. While there, Anna fell in love with everything about the city of London, learned to distinguish "chips" from "crisps," and was whistled at on a daily basis by the workers in the same meat packing plant that Aisling McKay walks past on her way to the train station. Anna now lives with her husband and daughters near Washington, D.C. Views: 21
