This is definitely a promising start to a new series and I did enjoy it, but it was too easy to put down. I'm not sure why it wasn't a page turner for me until the very end got very exciting. It just lacked something I can't put my finger on. When I finished the book, it felt like I had just read the first part of a much bigger novel.

I did like that our hero was an ordinary guy except for the whole demon slayer thing and that he had a fairly normal life. In fact, his domestic dealings do seem to take up a lot of this book. I liked the idea of him having a wife (and not chasing some hot thing) and a child, but neither one of those characters ever seemed quite real to me. I don't feel I know Mira at all. Axel, his demon foe/friend, felt more solid and intriguing. I liked the plot, but it didn't really zing until the end. I did love the entire battle with the "big bad," but the twist wasn't too surprising.

I'm definitely on board for book two because I liked the character of Jesse (even if he's a bit clueless at times) and the premise is really solid.
