Search - California Demon: The Secret Life of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom (Kate Connor, Bk 2)

Katie Conner can do it all. She gives hope to us that aren't having deal with demons every day and just 10 year olds and toddlers. This is a fast paced read, not hard at all to sink your teeth into. There's enough hilarious situations and what I call mommy moments mixed into the demon hunting and saving of the world to keep you laughing.

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.

Welcome to San Diablo. The perfect place to raise a couple of kids and a lot of Hell. Especially if you're Kate Connor, retired demon hunter. Now, after fourteen years busting her tail as a suburban housewife, raising two kids, and supporting her husband's political ambitions, she's rejoined the workforce...well, secretly, at least. Between fending off demon attacks, trying to figure out why the mysterious new teacher at the high school seems so strangely familiar, and keeping a watchful eye on her daughter's growing infatuation with a surfer dude, Kate is the busiest-and most dangerous-soccer mom on the block.

It was a really good book,one that I've read at least three times. It had just the right amount of everything.

I enjoy this series. It's fun, quirky a nice break from heavier reads.

This was alittle too 'Buffy - Hell Mouth under the school' for me but I do enjoy the series over all and I will finish it out. Its a quick campy read and if you have ever been a stay at home mom after being in the work force its very easy to relate even if your job wasnt slaying demons lol. Its not on the same level as the Sookie Stackhouse series, the Black Dagger Brotherhood or Betsy Queen of the Vampires but its fun enough.
