Julie Kenner's book, subtitled, Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom might be a good buy at a yard sale. It's definately not worth the full $12.95 price tag. Kate Connor a retired demon hunter is forced to go back to work when Demons invade her chaotic but peaceful life in Suburbia. All of her mystery solving and demon fighting takes place while she tries to get her kids to cheerleading tryouts and host dinner parties for her husbands colleagues.
This book is full of Three's Company situations. Everyone telling unbelievable lies, the co-characters being to shallow to see through them, causes the reader to lose respect for them all. Basically, the characters just aren't smart enough. Julie Kenner has attempted to charm the readers of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer genre and miserably falls short. You will figure out the plot well before Kate Connor does and read on wondering when she's gonna catch on losing respect for her all the while.
Rating: ** (out of 5)
