"The second installment of the life of Kate Conner, demon hunter!"
As much as I enjoyed CARPE DEMON, I knew I just had to
know just how Kate Crow Conner has been dealing with
balancing coming out of retirement from her demon hunting
days along with two children, a husband about to be thrust
into the public eye and now an adopted supposedly father
in law. Kate just told a little white lie about Eddie.
She just didn't think Stuart would like a complete
stranger into their home. Still Eddie is an ex-demon
hunter with no other place to go so what was Kate to do.
Besides, Allie and Timmy love him for all his crustiness. In CARPE DEMON, Kate had to clean a nest of demons out of
the resident nursing home and that's how she came to meet
Eddie. Now it seems the demons have taken up residence at
the high school but why? Kate only knows she has to keep
her precious fourteen year old Allie safe. Luckily for
some reason David Long, the chemistry teacher at the high
school wants to help Kate. The problem Kate has with that
is that her demon hunting work is strictly on the QT so
why does David seem so familiar? It's getting harder and harder for Kate to keep her
extracurricular activities a secret from her husband and
her daughter. It helps that she has Eddie and her best
friend Laura to talk to about what's going on. Can she get
rid of the demons before they get rid of her though? The second installment of the life of Kate Conner, demon
hunter is as enjoyable as the first. Julie Kenner does a
wonderful job of hooking her readers and then reeling them
in all the while knowing that they will impatiently wait
for the next installment of this fascinating series!

SummaryWelcome to San Diablo. The perfect place to raise a
couple of kids. And a lot of Hell.
What's a mother to do, when there are only so many hours in
the day, and the fate of the world is in her hands?
Kate Connor was a retired demon hunter. Now, after fourteen
years busting her tail as a suburban housewife, raising two
kids, and supporting her husband's political ambitions,
she's rejoined the workforce—and except for a few
minions of evil, no one has a clue. She tries hard to keep
her home and work lives separate—a good idea when your
job involves random slaughter.
Between fending off demon attacks, trying to figure out why
the mysterious new teacher at the high school seems so
strangely familiar, and keeping a watchful eye on her
daughter's growing infatuation with a surfer dude, Kate is
the busiest—and most dangerous—soccer mom on the
block...
