"Kate Conner is having a very bad day!"
Boy, I've had some bad days before but nothing like
poor Kate Conner when a demon crashes into her kitchen
window and tries to kill her. She thought her demon
hunting days were long over now that she has a 14 year old
daughter, a two year old son and a husband who is about to
run for County Attorney. Dealing with a teen-ager and a
toddler is about all she has the strength to handle these
days. Now Kate needs to know why the demons are trying
to take over San Diablo, a sleepy little suburban town
where Kate and her first husband Eric retired to when they
decided to quit demon hunting. When Eric died, she was
devastated but she met Stuart and fell in love all over
again. All she's supposed to worry about now is potty
training, last minute dinner parties and a daughter who is
nearly grown, right? She calls Father Corletti, her mentor at the
Vatican who tells her since the demons have sought her
out, she needs to deal with it. He has no more hunters to
send to help. It seems demon hunting just isn't like it
used to be. He will send her an alimentatore though who
would help her figure out just where those demons were.
She can't believe when she finds out that her alimentatore
is none other than Judge Larson. In between car-pools, shopping for groceries,
shopping at the mall and just trying to live a normal
live, now Kate has to find time to bone up on her demon
hunting skills, try to discover what it is the demons are
looking for and hunt for newly arrived demons. Piece of
cake, right? This book was so much fun to read. I really felt
for poor Kate and her wild schedule. She really needed
more hours in her already jam-packed day. I've heard that
there is a sequel to this book and I know I will be one of
the first ones in line to get my greedy hands on it! I
highly recommend this exceedingly entertaining read! I've
got my fingers crossed that this one will reach the movie
stage as well!!!

SummaryCarpools. Crabgrass. Creatures from the depths of hell.
Suburbia has its problems too...
Lots of women put their careers aside once the kids come
along. Kate Connor, for instance, hasn't hunted a demon in
ages...
That must be why she missed the one wandering through the
pet food aisle of the San Diablo Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, he
managed to catch her attention an hour later-when he crashed
into the Connor house, intent on killing her.
Now Kate has to clean up the mess in her kitchen, dispose of
a dead demon, and pull together a dinner party that will get
her husband elected to County Attorney-all without arousing
her family's suspicion. Worse yet, it seems the dead demon
didn't come alone. He was accompanied by a High Demon named
Goramesh who, for some unknown reason, intends to kill off
the entire population of San Diablo.
It's time for Kate Connor to go back to work.
