This is a contender in the supernatural tough-chick genre--in this case combined with mommy lit! Kate is a retired Hunter who gets pulled back into the game when a demon with a plan arrives in her quiet little town. At first Kate doesn't believe there's a problem. When a demon comes crashing through her kitchen window she defends herself and her family. This is done while she's adjusting her toddler to day care, supervising her teen daughter's mall excursions and entertaining her husband's business contacts.

This is a promising beginning to a series. Kenner crafts a fun little tale in an alternate universe where demons live alongside humans and the Vatican trains young people to become demon hunters. Her characters are lively and real. Tension is created in the story by keeping the protagonist's demon hunter identity secret from her family.

This device works though all the questions about why this is really necessary come up for the reader and can be a little frustrating. A minor quibble is some typos and editing faux pas. It seems good editing is hard to find these days! This is a fun read so let the literary analysis go and enjoy it!
