From New York Times bestselling author Julie Kenner aka J. Kenner ... "This book, as crammed with events as any suburban mom's calendar, shows you what would happen if Buffy got married and kept her past a secret. It's a hoot."—Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author Currently in development as a major motion picture with 1492 Pictures! A Booksense pick! A Target "break-out" book! Kate Connor is your average, everyday mom with two kids, a husband, and one very big secret ... she used to be a Demon Hunter for a secret arm of the Vatican. Now retired, she's more interested in the domestic than the demonic. So when she catches sight of a demon in Wal-Mart, she tells herself it's some other Hunter's problem. But when that demon attacks her in her kitchen, retirement is no longer an option. Now Kate has to kick a little demon butt, figure out why the creatures are trying to take her out and take over her home town, and at the same time take care of her 2 year old, deal with a hormonal 14 year old, get the family to Catholic mass on time, and try to keep her past a secret from her daughter and her husband. She's a little out of practice, but hey ... if she can juggle two kids and an impromptu dinner party, ridding the town of demons should be a piece of cake. Like the saying goes, Carpe Demon ... and Kate intends to do just that. *** Dive into this fun and original (sub) urban fantasy novel (that could just as easily be called paranormal mommy lit!). With humor, action, adventure, horror and a romantic triangle that builds as the series progresses, Carpe Demon is not to be missed!

I mean, like who hasn't had to battle demons between car pools and play dates?" Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author "I welcome the novels that decide to be utterly over-the-top and imagine paranormal and superhero lives for their chick- lit heroines. Take Carpe Demon ..." —Detroit Free Press "Sprightly, fast-paced . . . readers will find spunky Kate hard not to root for in spheres both domestic and demonic."—Publishers Weekly "Smart, fast-paced, unique ... a blend of sophistication and wit that has you laughing out loud."—Christine Feehan, New York Times bestselling author "Tongue-in-cheek . . . fast pacing and in-your-face action.

As Charlaine Harris puts it this "shows you what would happen if Buffy got married and kept her past a secret" It's a lot of fun and the main character is quite witty. I enjoyed the read.

3.0 Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom (Kate Connor, Demon Hunter)
I found this book a bit farfetched. Not saying that a banker and a teacher wouldn't be smart enough to pull off some of the things that happened in this book, but smarter than the professionals, I don't think so. I also took exception with the author using a line from one of my favorite movies "So...
