Synopsis
Maggie Donovan isn't interested in overthrowing a Faerie queen. She barely had time to kill the demon that devoured her fiancé. Then she comes home to find a scrumptious hunk in her living room who informs her that saving the Otherworld just happens to be her destiny, and Maggie realizes she may not have a choice...
Publishers Weekly
Nothing in painter Maggie Donovan's ordinary Southern California life prepares her to find a demon devouring her ex-boyfriend. In the ensuing struggle, the smart-mouthed heroine accidentally gets sprinkled with magic dust from a broken pendant and develops mysterious powers. Levitation may be handy for painting tall store windows, but her new status comes with a lot of baggage, including hunky Fae warrior Culhane and ugly pixie Bezel. They want to train Maggie for an upcoming battle against the evil Faery queen, Mab, who has imprisoned all the males of the Otherworld. Unimpressed, Maggie clings to her "destiny-free zone" until her growing magical abilities and feelings for Culhane push her to take on the queen. Child (A Fiend in Need) throws in enough zest and humor to make up for a rather anticlimactic final showdown. (Jan.)

June 13, 2009: Maggie Donavan's day began just like any other day, until she took her ex boyfriend's junk to his office just in time to see him being eaten by a demon. She just couldn't let Joe be devoured by a demon, could she? Maggie took on the demon, and after defeating it got covered in fairy dust. Suddenly her whole world was turned upside down. Maggie doesn't have time to save the Otherworld from Queen Mab, as she keeps telling faery warrior Culhane.
I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed it so much better than A Feind In Need. I loved Maggie's character, she's a reluctant heroine. The secondary characters of Nora and Elaine were great. Culhane was a great hero, I felt he really did love Maggie. I can't wait to read the next chapter.Bedeviled by Maureen Childby jjmachshev

January 20, 2009:
What can I say about Maureen Child's latest, "Bedeviled"? Well, it reminded me an awful lot of her 'Fiend' series for one...except with Fae instead of demons. It still entertained and amused me, even though I didn't get any hot sex included (YET), I'm still hopeful that the next book will see our heroine involved with her sexy Fae knight.
Maggie already has enough on her plate. She still has a bunch of business windows to get painted for the holiday season and she's watching her niece whose mother is off having her chakra's aligned or something like that. So when she stops by her ex's office to drop off the rest of his 'stuff' she's a bit rattled to see him being eaten (and NOT in a good way) by a female-looking creature with horns and a tail. When the creature comes after Maggie, she fights back and ends up destroying the creatures necklace...and gaining Fae powers???? Holy hand grenades, Batman...Maggie really doesn't have time for this! Not even when the Fae sex god, uh I mean warrior...Fae warrior suddenly appears in her life. Even if he does make her girly parts sing three-part harmony, she just doesn't have time to train, fight, and defeat the evil Fae Queen...nope, no time at all for that. Now if all these other creatures would just leave her alone, she'd be happy...mostly...OK, satisfied?
Very funny beginning book for Child's new series. Now if she'll just provide some hot Fae sex...I mean relationship, of course, then I'll give it five stars! Humor, the paranormal, sexy men, ugly trolls, demons, and family issues...what's not to love?
