"She wanted to retire - but those pesky old demons just keep returning to wreak havoc."

Kate Connor's life defines the word complex. Or crazy might
work, too. This retired demon hunter, who got pulled back
into the demon-hunting world when the creatures appeared in
her backyard, is struggling to create a normal life for her
family. It's a little tough when she constantly has to call
in back-up to remove dead demons. Add in the fact that her daughter has discovered she's a
demon hunter and is considering following in mom's
footsteps or that she thinks her dead husband is inhabiting
the body of a high school teacher and well...we're right
back
at complex. Kate's fighting to figure out why demons are attacking her.
She finally discovers what they want and what could happen
if super-demon Andramelach is released by the ceremony the
evil ones are trying to perform. Kate will be forced to
make a decision between saving a man she loves and allowing
Andramelach -- an invincible demon -- to be released into
the
world. It's not really a choice. I was thrilled to discover this wonderful author with her
first demon-hunting soccer mom book. It's a fun premise
that Ms. Kenner fully develops with excellent
characterization, intriguing stories and snappy dialogue.
Can't wait for the next one!
SUMMARY
It isn't easy when your daughter's figured out that her
mom's a demon hunter-and wants to grow up to be just like
her. Or when you suspect your dead husband used the forces
of darkness to filch the body of another human. And your
living husband isn't the man you married anymore either. Moreover, Kate's acquired a precious but deadly item that
every demon within commuting distance wants. With husband
woes playing havoc with her emotions, an ambitious teenage
protŽgŽe at her heels, and hell to pay, this stay-at-home
mom's putting in a lot of overtime.
