The Demon's Lexicon: Difference between revisions

* [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday]] - Sixteen is when you become fair game for demon possession.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Pretty much everyone, but most notably Mae, Jamie and Nick.

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] - King, in Nick's case. Slowly and with great difficulty.

** Liannan is an interestingly literal (if brief) example.

* [[Incest Yay]]: In a deleted scene revealed during the TDS launch chat, {{spoiler|Anzu}} kisses Nick {{spoiler|while in his brother Alan's body}}. It's noteworthy that demons don't care for taboos like incest and probably can't differentiate between sexual and platonic feelings.

* [[It Got Worse]] - Especially from Nick's point of view. Perfect stranger brings home a third-tier mark that says he's going to die? No big. Alan gets a first-tier mark? Now [[It's Personal]].

* [[Kiss of Death]] - {{spoiler|Olivia snuggles up to Black Arthur for a kiss, then sets herself on fire while still holding on to him. Subverted that this doesn't kill him straight off - his son does that a few minutes later.}}

* [[Knife Nut]] - Nick. Another character points out that he carries the equivalent of a restaurant's cutlery drawer on him at all times. Sin embodies this trope, as well.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]] - {{spoiler|Jamie, by the end of ''Covenant.'' Worth noting that Nick was his Professor of Badass.}}

* [[Troubled but Cute]] - Nick notes that girls are just about always attracted to him.

* [[Unreliable Narrator]] - At the beginning of the book, the reader is given a bit of background information regarding Nick and Alan's lives. By the end, most of it turns out to be wrong.

* [[Urban Fantasy]]
