"The third installment of Kate Conner's story!"

Kate Crow Conner is back in the third installment of her demon hunting/wife/mother life. Now Kate also has to deal with the fact that Allie now knows that she is a demon hunter and wants to help Kate. Kate just can't bear to think that her Allie would be in any kind of danger so she talks Cutter into stepping up their sparring a little more.

Cutter tells Kate he has found her someone to spar with and she can't believe it when she sees David Long, the high school chemistry teacher there. The weird thing is David calls her by the pet name her first husband Eric did and he has some of the same fighting moves that Eric did. What is up with that? Eric was mugged and murdered.

When Kate starts getting strange notes from Eric five years after his death, she knows she has to figure things out and quickly. She can't believe this is just a random thing. Then she finds out that Eric might have been murdered for what he knew. Kate can't believe Eric was keeping secrets from her. All the while Kate still has to keep her demon hunting a secret from her present husband, Stuart. This is getting harder and harder to do. Kate only knows she has to keep doing what she's doing to keep her town and her family safe.

This series just keeps getting better and better. Julie Kenner knows how to bait a hook and then leave you floundering knowing that you will haunt the book stores until the next installment is published. My interest is above and beyond peaked at Kate's story and I will be quite impatient for more of this story!
