Like most women, Kate Connor had too many things to do and not enough time to do them. Along with supporting her husband Stuart’s campaign for political office and planning the neighborhood Easter party, Kate has all the regular “mom” jobs. But unlike other moms, Kate is also a Level Four Demon Hunter. So when an old foe, High Demon Goramesh, returns to San Diablo with his army of the undead, Kate once again has to find time in her busy schedule to save her corner of the world. Kenner deftly serves up another captivating blend of neatly crafted characters, sharp humor, and paranormal-steeped suspense that is certain to charm readers hooked on this entertainingly original series. --John Charles --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4th In The Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom Series, August 8, 2008

By	SciFiChick "www.SciFiChick.com" (Fishers, IN USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Deja Demon: The Days and Nights of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom (Kate Connor, Demon Hunter) (Paperback)

Returning home after an unsuccessful demon hunt, Kate Connor is attacked at home by a demon and a zombie. She is used to fighting demons, but zombies are another matter and difficult to dispose of. When the body of the demon disappears the next morning, Kate realizes she has an even bigger mystery on her hands. Unfortunately, the zombie is still there. And between the Easter party planning madness and business dinner parties at the house, Kate will need to rely on her friends and family to help keep her sanity and San Diablo's demon population at bay.

To make matters worse, Kate is still trying to keep her demon hunting a secret from her husband. Her former husband wants to spend more time with their daughter. And her daughter wants nothing more than to follow in her mother's footsteps as a demon hunter. Poor Kate has to deal with more drama than anyone should. This series is still one of my favorites. Even if I don't always agree with Kate's decisions regarding her personal life.

Events come to a head in this installment. With plenty of action, suspense, and humor, the Demon Hunter Soccer Mom series is a wonderfully entertaining read. It has a completely different feel from any other urban paranormal or fantasy series out there. I can't get enough of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars fine suburban fantasy, July 2, 2008

By	Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Deja Demon: The Days and Nights of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom (Kate Connor, Demon Hunter) (Paperback)

In suburban San Diablo Demon Hunter Kate Connor is mentally exhausted on all fronts. The demons keep on coming and now she is stuck with two "feuding" husbands since she resurrected the spirit of her dead first spouse Eric, who shares the body of teacher David Long. They are driving her crazier than her blithely ignorant second husband Stuart, the demon hordes, training her teenage daughter Allie to fight and her toddler to use the bathroom.

Realizing she cannot retire from demon hunting as she had done once before to become a soccer mom following Eric's death, Kate knows she must confess the full truth to Stuart; before he figures out that demons keep attacking her. She is not sure what these malevolent beings hen they mention the One and the Sword of Caelum, but they assume she does; on top of that an enemy from her first war has come to town with one hell of a horde.

The latest demon fighting soccer mom tale retains the biting jocularity of the previous encounters, but the opponent turns the storyline much grittier and personal. Still Kate is as kick butt tough as ever; Allie is getting proficient at demon slaying; David-Eric is at her side; and Stuart proves to have greater depth and guts than readers and his wife realize. Fans of Julie Kenner's suburban fantasy will appreciate DEJA DEMON.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who Knew That Zombies Could Be So Funny, October 29, 2008

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

This review is from: Deja Demon: The Days and Nights of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom (Kate Connor, Demon Hunter) (Paperback)

I love this series.

Book #4 in the Soccer Mom series. This book rehashes many of the previous storylines so you would be lost if you don't start this series at the beginning.

Kate's life is busy enough with a toddler, a teenage daughter and a husband running for political office - what she doesn't need are two angry demons joining forces to take her off the planet. There is just no reasoning with Abaddon and Goramesh - you would think that demons would have a better sense of humor. But, no, it's up to Kate, with a little help from her friends, to save San Diablo from the infestation of Demons and Zombies. But how do you do that while still trying to find a giant rabbit for the neighborhood Easter Party?

So while Kate is patrolling at night with David who isn't only David, Kate must finally come to terms with her husband Stuart and put all of her hunting paraphernalia on the table and come clean about who she really is and if he wants to stay married to a level 5 demon hunter.
