Read this book if you want to know would have happened to Buffy the Vampire Slayer if she retired from slaying, got hitched, and became a mom. Very fun and enjoyable read!

Enjoyable read. I liked the characters and the plot. I loved that Kate was always forgetting about things she had signed up for. I know how realistic that is, from experience!

This books was a lot of fun. I can see it being a decent movie or tv show. I'm not sure if I'll continue the series or not

When I first read this book, years ago, I was hooked. It reminded me of a lot of the "Buffy grows up, and somehow manages to avoid trouble for awhile" fanfic I'd been seeing a short while prior--but better because with new characters and world it made more sense. This probably wasn't really an accident, and the jacket quote pointed people that way.

It's a fun bubble-gum read and Kate Connor is a fun, believable protagonist. She's no magically perfect heroine. I gobbled this book up with my eyes in an afternoon and waited for more.

I'm still waiting for more, actually. It seems we were promised a fourth book a few years back, but she is stuck on her "50 Shades of Grey" rip off.

This was pretty much a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan fiction. I had a hard time keeping interested to be honest. And I passed up reading the next one in the series - even when I could have for free.

Kate Connor was a demon hunter until she became a stay-at-home mum. But the sudden appearance of a demon assassin brings her out of retirement.

This book was more interested in the adventures of a mother looking after a social climbing husband while bringing up the demanding kids, than a demon hunter. I'm really not interested in books about the weekly shopping and dinner parties and the woes of a busy mother. These paranormal humour ones about mothers have been boring and not particularly amusing so I'll be avoiding them in the future!

I like these Demon books as they are light reading and a lot of fun. While parts of her demon hunting can be a little heavy and scary most of the book is funny. Not dark and evil at all.
