California Demon

Romance Paranormal

Kate Conner was forced out of retirement from demon hunting in CARPE DEMON -- ADVENTURES OF A DEMON-HUNTING SOCCER MOM. Her adventures continue in this second book, which is just as well-done as the first! Kate is a little concerned about her daughter and her crush on a surfer kid, but those concerns get swept away as she realizes that demons have infiltrated her daughter's school. While she spends her time trying to hide her demon- hunting past from her family, juggling to work with her husband on his political aspirations and hide a few demon bodies, Kate is also being plagued by some vague feelings about a new teacher at her daughter's school. Why does he seem so familiar? And were there things she didn't know about her first husband, who was a demon hunter with her? This is one of the authors that has made me a teen-lit reader! Buffy lovers will adore her books, but so will anyone else with a good sense of humor and appreciation of the absurd. You'll root for Kate, who takes multi-tasking to new levels. A great gift for a teen and for yourself!

SUMMARY

Welcome to San Diablo. The perfect place to raise a couple of kids and a lot of Hell. Especially if you're Kate Connor, retired demon hunter. Now, after fourteen years busting her tail as a suburban housewife, raising two kids, and supporting her husband's political ambitions, she's rejoined the workforce...well, secretly, at least. Between fending off demon attacks, trying to figure out why the mysterious new teacher at the high school seems so strangely familiar, and keeping a watchful eye on her daughter's growing infatuation with a surfer dude, Kate is the busiest-and most dangerous-soccer mom on the block.
