From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie Kenner (aka J. Kenner) comes the third installment in the fun-tastic demon-hunting soccer mom series that began with Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom Once again, Kate Connor has a problem. Several, actually. For one thing, her daughter has figured out that mom is a demon-hunter—and wants to be just like her when she grows up. And there’s that nagging suspicion that her dead husband has come back to life in the body of another man. Plus, her living husband still doesn’t know her secrets. Not to mention the fact that she’s acquired a mystical item that the entire demon community seems hell-bent on reclaiming. It’s all in a day’s work for this stay-at-home mom. But one thing is for certain: sometimes life in the suburbs really can be hell. RAVES FOR THE DEMON-HUNTING SOCCER MOM SERIES Carpe Demon: "I LOVED CARPE DEMON. ...

train’s path had originated near the front door, and I could only assume my little boy was down there, too. “Timmy?” Nothing. “Timmy!” Soft footsteps, and then the boy himself, his little face peering around the corner, his eyes wide and innocent. “What, Mommy?” “Are you supposed to be knocking your trains into the furniture, young man?” His eyes managed to widen even more, and his mouth formed into a little pout.

And that little display with the sword this morning didn’t exactly leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling.” “You’re the mom, Kate. If she wants to hunt, you’re going to have to resort to that time-honored tradition of just saying no.” “Thanks. You’re a big help.” She laughed, holding tight to the ladder as I carefully descended. “Happy to be of service.”

It was normal.” “Except Daddy wasn’t really...” “Apparently not,” I said. “But let me tell it my way.” She nodded, and I kept on. “I didn’t know it at the time, but apparently your dad had been training to be an alimentatore.” “A what?” “It’s like a coach for a Hunter.

And you said you were going to tell me.” That I had. I’d rushed to her rescue, just like any mom would. But by doing that, I’d shown her a side of me I’d carefully kept hidden. So when she’d asked me point-blank if I had a few secrets, I’d had no choice but to admit that I did. I’d hoped to ease a bit more slowly into my revelation. Allie,
his never blinking. “I’m not him, Kate. I’m sorry, but I’m not the man you loved.” His words seemed to come at me from under water, and as I moved, I was certain I was slogging through Jell-O. I’d moved from the real world to some surreal place, where nothing quite made sense. Not even the words David spoke to me. “What?” I finally managed. “But... but you—” “I knew him,” David said. “That’s all. I knew the man, and pretty well, too. I’m sorry, Kate. Truly sorry.” I wanted to say something,
