Series: Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom #8
First Sentence: Grief is a tricky thing.
Blurb: If you want something done, ask a busy person. Kate Conner could kill whoever first said that.
As if the full-time mom, part-time demon hunter didn’t have enough to do, she’s now been given a third job—as headmistress at a special academy for up-and-coming slayers.
Kate’s first charge? Her own teenage daughter Allie, who thanks to her unique heritage, has more power than either she or Kate understands. And definitely more than either knows how to use.
But they’ll have to figure it out fast when dark forces descend on the school, and … Seriously, can Kate just catch a break already?! (GoodReads)
My Opinion: I have loved this series from the beginning and was disappointed in the rumors there would be a television series -- that never came to fruition. Yet glad there is a new book when I thought the series had ended. I know, so many conflicting emotions surrounding a book about a demon hunting soccer mom.
Julie Kenner does an admirable job of rehashing the past books and relationships but to fully appreciate what is going on, new to this series readers must start at the beginning for all the minutia and humor.
The final chapters started too simple, too anticlimactic, and then a punch to the gut and you are in a mad race to the end.
The reader needs to remember that this is a self-published book and you will find editing and continuity issues.
