Carpe Demon Adventures of a DemonHunting Soccer Mom - Bk 1

Lots of women put their careers aside once the kids come along. Kate Connor, for instance, hasn't hunted a demon in ages.

This was a cute fun book. It had just enough quirky characters to keep me laughing out loud and just enough twists and turns to keep it from being predictable. If you're looking for some deep gloomy supernatural fiction, then this isn't your book. If you're looking for a light read and enjoy vampire/demon stories, you'll probably like it. I actually enjoyed this book more than I expected.

The mystery genre has subdivisions such as hard-boiled or cozy and this book is a cozy. It isn't a mystery and I'm not sure what the genre is - Contemporary Supernatural? Even though I can't categorize it; I did enjoy it. The dialogue is fresh and fun, particularly the heroine's asides. Charlaine Harris (whose books I've enjoyed) says "Shows you what would happen if Buffy got married and kept her past a secret. It's a hoot."

This is a fun book. Kate is a demon hunter who thought she was in retirement. But when they start showing up at her door, she has no choice but to get back into the game. And this while trying to keep her family doing their normal things.

An OK book, some clever lines, and the teenaged daughter rings true, but overall not as well done as other light fantasy books I've read (like MJ Davidson).

Stay at home mom is secretly a demon hunter - or was until her first husband and partner died. Now she's remarried and has a two-year-old who behaves and talks like a 6 mo. old at times and a 4 yr. old at another time. Her husband has dreams of getting voted into a political position. She hosts two last-minute important dinners in a row not missing her job of picking up her teen daughter, takes care of her 2 yr. old, clean house, etc. etc. Between her duties as mom and wife, she is back hunting demons as they have moved into her area.
