This was a cute fun book. It had just enough quirky characters to keep me laughing out loud and just enough twists and turns to keep it from being predictable. If you're looking for some deep gloomy supernatural fiction, then this isn't your book. If you're looking for a light read and enjoy vampire/demon stories, you'll probably like it. I actually enjoyed this book more than I expected.

This is a fun book. Kate is a demon hunter who thought she was in retirement. But when they start showing up at her door, she has no choice but to get back into the game. And this while trying to keep her family doing their normal things.

The mystery genre has subdivisions such as hard-boiled or cozy and this book is a cozy. It isn't a mystery and I'm not sure what the genre is - Contemporary Supernatural? Even though I can't categorize it; I did enjoy it. The dialogue is fresh and fun, particularly the heroine's asides. Charlaine Harris (whose books I've enjoyed) says "Shows you what would happen if Buffy got married and kept her past a secret. It's a hoot."

This was a quick, fun read. I'm looking forward to the sequel. The only real mystery is on the very first page in only the third paragraph. It baffles me why anyone would not expect to encounter demons at Wal*Mart. They own the place.

Nice quick read, though it sometimes bogs down.

Fun, light read...kind of like buffy the vampire slayer, only a stay at home mom is a demon slayer and has to juggle killing demons with carpool and PTA!

An OK book, some clever lines, and the teenaged daughter rings true, but overall not as well done as other light fantasy books I've read (like MJ Davidson).

Good things about this book: Great plot... what mom doesn't want to read about another mom fighting crime. Unfortunately the book wasn't all that funny... though I feel like it really tried to be and was getting better at it towards the end. Maybe the next one will be better. Also I usually read paranormal lite-romances and this book had zero romance.

This is a great new series with a nice sense of humor. The plot is a combination of fantasy and mystery with a nice twist. Can't wait for the next in the series.

This is a puntacular little book, clever and fun. If you're tired of vampires and werewolves, and you've ever wondered how to combine the supernatural with family life, then this book is right for you!

There is nothing better than a romantic comedy that incorporates the paranormal, and Julie Kenner has penned a jackpot winner with CARPE DEMON. At times laugh-out-loud funny, once I started reading this book I couldn't put it down until I finished the last page-and then I wished it wasn't the end.

Kate Connor, on the surface, appears to be a pretty normal suburban mom. Mother to fourteen-year-old Alison and two-year-old Timmy, wife of Stuart, an assistant county attorney, and all-around chauffeur, nanny, housekeeper, and family pep squad rolled into one. It wasn't always that way, though. Kate was once a Level Four Demon Hunter, although no one knows it. It's the secret of secrets, and for the most part, Kate's pretty happy keeping it that way. Until one day, while shopping with the kids at the local Wal-Mart in San Diablo , California , she spots a demon.

Immediately, all sorts of questions are raised. Why would a demon willingly come to San Diablo? And, in fact, was it a demon at all? And does it have anything at all to do with her?

Sadly, Kate realizes way too soon that she's going to be forced out of demon-hunting retirement. Incorporeal demon Goramesh has come to California with one goal in mind, and it's up to Kate to figure out what he wants, find it before he does, rescue it, and send Goramesh back where he belongs.

Sounds easy, right? Not really, especially when you can't tell anyone what you're doing, including your husband, best friend, or children. Balancing home life has always been tricky enough, but now that there are murderous demons following her around, dodging her every step, life has become even more complicated.

I've heard that some readers have compared this story to a sort of Buffy the Vampire Slayer read, but I didn't get that feeling at all. What I read was a hilarious story of a stay-at-home-mom whose past comes back to bite her on the butt, with the risks being even higher than ever. For anyone who has ever been bored with their life, or has secrets from the past that they just wish would stay there, this book is for you.

Not to mention that it's just an all-around enjoyable story from a very talented author. Pick up a copy of CARPE DEMON today-you won't be disappointed.

Carpe Demon is an enjoyable read. A couple of twists. It kept my interest all the way through. I am looking forward to the follow-up book.

This is one of my favorite paranormal mystery books. The others in the series are okay, but this first one makes you really care about the main character and it's FUNNY! I've had to keep buying the series so as to follow the character, but none compare to this first one.

Witty and entertaining, great plot.

great quick read

very good, quick read.
