Demons are Forever by Julie Kenner
Check the catalog for this item.
For me “summer reading” means “light, fun” books - nothing suitable for book club discussions - that are perfect for “beach” or “back yard” reading. Which is exactly where I devoured (yes, devoured) the three books in Julie Kenner’s series about Kate Connell, “Demon Hunting Soccer Mom”. Orphaned as a child, Kate grew up in a Catholic orphanage in Rome, and was recruited as a teen-ager to study the art and strategy of demon hunting (and eradication.) Twenty years later, retired from the demon biz, and living in a quiet, California coastal town with her second husband, 2 kids and a cat - she abruptly becomes “un-retired” when a demon comes knocking at her door. (Well - technically - it came crashing through her picture window.) Each book in this (short) series finds Kate more and more committed to the life she thought she’d left behind. The books are well written (in a humorous light way) and once started - read very quickly. Imagine “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” meets “Desperate Housewives”; sit back and prepare to be entertained.
