From Booklist

As both a Level Four Demon Hunter and a stay-at-home mom, Kate Connor's days are filled with challenges. If Kate isn't dusting off demons with nothing more than a bottle of holy water and a sharp object, then she is trying to not only meet the many different demands of a toddler, a teenager, and a busy husband running for political office but also keep her house dusted. So far Kate has successfully kept her two different "jobs" separate from one another, but when a new demon--but one with the same old goal of ruling the world--shows up in San Diablo and targets her daughter's high school, it starts becoming more and more difficult for Kate to keep her family from finding out she has another calling, namely, ridding the world of evil. Picking up Kate's story from Carpe Demon (2005), Kenner continues to put her fun, fresh twist on mommy-lit with another devilishly clever book. John Charles

4.0 out of 5 stars Just Another Day for Kate, August 7, 2007

By	Nancy Grisso "Stepfordmomto2" (Tehachapi, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: California Demon: The Secret Life of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom (Paperback)

In this second outing, Kate follows one of her charges from Coastal Mists knowing that no one recovers that quickly from a coma and that this must be another demonic possession. She is lead to her daughters school where she finds a book that appears blank only to finds that it is a portal to tortured demonic souls. Just another day for Kate who has to fit this in-between getting her teen daughter to cheerleading practice, getting her 2 year old to daycare, and having dinner on the table by 6. But the twists to this book are what keep the story moving - the notes and quirks that bring back her memories of Eric, her first husband that was killed five years ago, her daughters teacher - who has a few secrets of his own, and Cool - the surfing phenom that has a sudden interest in San Diablo. Kenner is such a funny writer that you can't help but laugh out loud when a demon gets a ice pick through the eye.

4.0 out of 5 stars So Much Fun!, February 4, 2007

By	Kelly Houser "Kelly Houser" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: California Demon: The Secret Life of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom (Kate Connor, Demon Hunter) (Paperback)

Kate Conner's days are pretty full. She has a teenager, a toddler, a husband, and oh yeah, she's a level four demon hunter. If Kate's days are busy enough, she's still trying to keep her secret identity a secret from her family. But when a series of demon attacks are centered on Kate's daughter's high school, she'll have to work overtime to protect her identity and save the day.

I really, really enjoy this series. It's a fun little series. Definitely fluffy reading, but there is nothing wrong with that! Sometimes, that is just what a reader is looking for. If you want a quick read with a supernatural twist, this book is for you!
