Day of the Demon

Title: Day of the Demon
Author: Julie Kenner
Published: April 29, 2021 by Martini & Olive
Format: Kindle, 263 Pages
Genre: Paranormal
Series: Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom #7

First Sentence: I always knew that parenting a teenager would be like living with a demon from hell.

From the Publisher: Mom and Demon Hunter Kate Connor can never catch a break.

She may have just helped save the world from a full-on apocalypse, but there’s still the problem of her dead ex-husband having come back to life in the body of another man. And her current husband wanting to reconcile after walking out on her so recently she can still taste the pain. Granted, he’d been knocked sideways by the news of her secret vocation, but that didn’t change the fact that they were still on shaky ground.

To make matters worse, her toddler’s sudden refusal to sleep at bed-time isn’t helping Kate’s mood. But that’s really just an annoyance. After all, if she can handle demon hordes, a cranky toddler’s a no-brainer. (Goodreads)

My Opinion: Another series which has taken too long between books causing a bit of confusion. For me, the muddling happened between the current husband’s name and the first husband currently inhabiting the body of a high school teacher, causing him to have two identities depending on who is interacting. If that confuses you, and it can, then you must start at the beginning to follow the wacky adventures of Kate and her demon-hunting past and present.

The downfall of this book is the editing and continuity. Since this book is a full release and not an ARC, there were way too many missed issues (time frame, repeated words, repeated descriptions, missing words, etc.).

Will I come back for the next book, “How to Train Your Demon” (2022), most definitely since the humans, and their humor, make the editing flubs bearable, annoying, but bearable.
