Carpe Demon (Kate Connor - Demon-Hunting Soccer
Carpe Demon (Kate Connor - Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom #1)
by Julie Kenner (Goodreads Author)
3.62 of 5 stars 3.62 · rating details · 3,626 ratings · 456 reviews
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.
I don’t think this book series got a lot of press, and I really enjoyed it - it’s a light, fun read, and evokes the ridiculous feeling of early Buffy episodes. Later in the series, there’s some dealing with more of the emotional toll of being a demon hunter and family issues, which was also cool to read.
I also got a kick out of the pop culture references. I mean, I know they date things, but this is the first book I ever read (the only book, actually, come to think of it) that directly referenced Kim Possible. How cool is that?
Anyway. Book rec. Because I saw something on my dash complaining about how all the heroes are teenagers. <3
