Description To Books Carpe Demon (Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom #1)
Kate Connor used to be a demon hunter: Now she's a stay-at-home mom, a "glorified chauffeur for pep squad practice and Gymboree play dates." But when a demonic assassin shows up at her suburban home minutes before an important dinner party, the retired Hunter is forced back into action to save her town -- and her freshly baked mini-quiches -- from the invading fiend and his army of the undead.Kate's husband and her two kids don't know anything about her demon-killing past -- and she wants to keep it that way. So while doing what supermoms do -- raising an inquisitive two-year old, dealing with a teenage girl's myriad of social issues, supporting an overworked husband running for county attorney, etc. -- Kate also finds time to unravel the mystery behind the sudden ghoulish invasion. It seems a master demon named Goramesh has come to town in search of an invaluable religious artifact secreted in a much-storied cathedral. But in order to obtain the relic, Goramesh must first find a suitable human subordinate

Liked All The Action and Believable situations,Because As A Demon Hunter And not anticipated Vatican Tidbits... Kate Kept me very interested.. I needed that Dark/Light Series...Well written..The Book Report: Retired demon hunter, remarried widow, and mother of a teen and a toddler Kate Conner is forced out of her 'burbsy life by The Call of Duty: San Diablo, her hitherto peaceful adopted hometown, has attracted the attention of major baddie demon Goramesh, who wants something that he can't get because it's hidden within the sacred ground of the town's amazingly well-protected cathedral.

I was walking by the shelves when I spotted this book again. I remember when it came out, and I thought it sounded like a fun read. But being a librarian, I always have so much that I want to read that many things that look interesting are quite often forgotten about. So I picked it up last week and read it, and it was great! Funny, and kick-ass, and mysterious. Kate is a mom to a 14-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy. She has a husband who is gearing up to run for County Attorney, and she is
This was a fun book. I kept picturing Buffy the vampire slayer as a 38-year-old soccer mom. There were some definite similarities.
I tried. I really did.My book club wanted something fluffy for summer. We read a string of heavyweight selections back to back. And, we wanted to turn more towards featherweight for June. Carpe Demon fit the bill, but left me unenthused.Carpe Demon is the story of Kate Conner, a retired demon hunter turned stay-at-home mom who is called back into duty when a new crop of demons invade her town. Kate's husband, children and best friend are clueless about her demon hunting credentials. Forced to
Carpe Demon, for a chick-lit novel which I usually avoid, wasn't too bad. Full of comedy laced with paranormal elements, this undoubtedly creative book is more gripping than meets the eye.
What a fun book! Love the authors easy prose and snarky sense of humor. Enjoyed the characters and storyline, though I didn't see where the 'soccer mom' came into the story from the title. First in a series and have already ordered the next. Perfect summer reading.
