fine suburban fantasy July 2, 2008

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.

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.

Katherine "Kate" Connor is a Level Five Demon Hunter with Forza Scura. Until recently, Kate had thought her nights of hunting and killing demons were over. Instead, Kate now has a late husband (Eric) whose soul resides in a school teacher's body (David), a teen daughter (Allie) who wants to train to become a Demon Hunter and to spend more time with David since her biological father's soul is dwelling within, a toddler (Timmy) to potty-train, and to assister her current husband (Stuart) with his political campaign. That is much more than any other mortal wife should have to deal with.
Now an old enemy is about to show up. Demons and zombies are constantly after Kate because of some sort of prophecy. It seems that Kate is the one destined to wield the Sword of Caelum and destroy the Decimator, sending him to Hades for all eternity. But Kate has never heard of this prophecy or the sword. Of course Stuart realizes something strange is going on with his wife, but since he knows nothing of demons and Kate's night duties, Stuart is worrying about the state of their marriage.
***** Julie Kenner has written another winner! This series just seems to keep getting better and better. The way Julie Kenner mixes the super natural with ordinary modern day people and things just astounds me to no end. This is not a series to miss and this is the best story of the series thus far! *****

Bravo!!!! September 18, 2008
This is an exceptional follow-up to her previous books in the series. Wonderful story line and excellent plotting. I was rivetted from page one! Julie Kerner is amazing with her details of the Catholic church & the Vatican and keeps you emotionally invested in her characters. I feel like I could really know someone just like her in real life. Wonderful!
