Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble Review
Who says stay-at-home moms can't also be demon-slaying superheroines whose sole mission is to save the innocent of the world from the minions of hell? Kate Connor is just that: a retired demon hunter who is now a full-time housewife and mother struggling to raise two kids -- Allie, a boy-crazed teenager, and a precocious two-year old named Timmy. But when monstrosities from the netherworld begin infiltrating the quiet suburban haven of San Diablo, Connor is forced back into duty -- and God help the demon that interrupts her Pampered Chef party!

In California Demon, the sequel to 2005's Carpe Demon, the Pottery Barn-chic demon hunter uncovers a potentially apocalyptic plot to free some frighteningly powerful demons from their ethereal bonds; and when Allie's life is threatened, Connor must use every weapon in her demon-hunting arsenal to save her daughter's life -- and her soul!

While there is a plethora of outstanding romance/dark fantasy sagas currently being released -- Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake novels, the Sookie Stackhouse series from Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan sequence, et al. -- Julie Kenner's Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom novels are noteworthy in large part because of the author's wit and incredibly intuitive sense of humor. Lines like "Infiltrating a nest of vampires at dusk might be a tad on the treacherous side, but it's nothing compared to telling a fourteen-year-old that she's not allowed to wear eye shadow" will have readers laughing out loud from the first page to the last. If you've changed a leaky diaper, picked up a spilled sippy cup, or purchased a McDonald's Happy Meal within the last 24 hours, this fast-paced, delightfully irreverent amalgam of romance and dark fantasy is for you. Paul Goat Allen
