You wouldn't think that a book about hunting down and killing demons would be funny, but I honestly giggled my way through the whole book!

Kate Connor is a middle class, suburban soccer mom with a husband, teenage daughter, two year old son and a few secrets in her past. The biggest secret is that she used to be a Level-Four Demon Hunter. But she's retired now, thank you very much, and just living her life and raising her family.

All is well until a demon comes crashing through her dining room window and then the story is off and running! Suddenly Kate finds herself out of retirement in a big way. She has to kill the demon, clean up the mess and prepare for a cocktail party all while her son watches "The Wiggles"...and that is just in the first chapter!

Kate's husband, Stuart, is probably the weakest character in the story, but the others are well crafted and believable. I love the teenage daughter - Allie!

A fun, fast read. I am looking forward to the other books in the series.
