Kate Conner has a dilemma on her hands. Now that she knows a demon possesses her first husband, Eric, she doesn't want to have Allie, their daughter spend any more time with him than possible. Allie doesn't know the reason why and is very upset by the whole thing. Then with Stuart finding out about her whole secret life and all, he refuses to let her and their son Timmy out of his sight. He even insists on training with them. All of a sudden, demons are coming out of the woodwork and bowing in obeisance to Eric and calling him Odayne. What is that all about? Even Eric/David isn't sure. Kate knows she and Laura have their research skills stretched to the limit with this one. If they do find out anything at all about the demon possessing Eric, can Kate release it without killing Eric? That is the question of the day. Kate knows if she harms Eric in any way, Allie will never forgive her. Kate also has taken it upon herself to start teaching a self-defense class to the local women. At least she has Laura and Allie to help but still is it too much for her? Will she be able to survive all of this stress? I know how stressed I get with just having to deal with every day things. I cannot imagine the stress poor Kate has to deal with. I think that is part of the reason why I enjoy these novels so much. If I think I'm having a bad day, I just think about Kate Conner and then suddenly my day isn't so bad. I eagerly devour each and every demon hunting soccer mom book that Julie Kenner writes!

SUMMARY

From the USA Today bestselling author of Deja Demon--slaying demons is nothing compared to the terrible twos.

Demon Hunter Kate Connor is having one hell of a month...

In between demon patrols and teaching self-defense classes to the local moms, Kate has to deal with a teenage daughter who's gung-ho on being a demon slayer in training and a toddler son entering a tantrum phase that rivals anything from the pits of Hell. To make matters worse, ever since her current husband Stuart learned about his wife's secret life, he's been practically smothering her with attention. That wouldn't be so bad, except that now Stuart's fired up to learn everything he can about demons, and that kind of research can get a former desk-jockey killed. That's a lot for one woman to juggle, but on top of it all, Kate has to find a way to release the demon possessing her first husband, Eric, without destroying the man inside. Because if the demon within Eric gets free, it just might be more than one seriously stressed suburban mom can handle.
