I picked this one up for the cute cover, but it took a long time for me to get through.

This reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer had we dropped in on her in her 30s. That's a good thing for me. The bad thing was I got this second hand so I didn't have any idea it was book 5. I could figure things out but obviously I was missing a lot of the nuances.

Kate is training her current husband to at least help her fight demons while her 15 year old daughter can't wait to be out there slaying demons. To top it all off, her toddler son (to husband #2) is entering tantrum phase and her resurrected first husband, love of her life, is back in her life and a demon inside him is threatening to kill him and her.

It becomes a race to determine what demon is inside of Eric and can they extract it before it kills him, binding him to the demon forever or will they have to kill him (again) to kill the demon. It was a fun story in the sense of the action adventure part of it. There are many more serious moments (like being tempted to cheat, and almost non-con encounter when the demon started getting more control. )

The one thing I didn't like was there was no poofing into dust of the demons. There was a lot of them trying to hide bodies that were once people who died and were hosting a demon. I don't know why but that really bothered me.

What a great book! I don't know if Kenner intends to continue the series past this book, but if she doesn't, this was the perfect ending. Definitely loved it.

I'd give it 3.5 I guess -- maybe almost 4.

Just as light hearted as all the rest in the series. The book seems to move slowly to a conclusion that is breakneck.
I'll keep reading the series. Fun. Enjoyed it.

Well, this series continues to take unexpected turns! This story ended in a very different way than I would have imagined.....I am ready to start the next book in the series and see where it all goes!

I'm going to DNF this at 50%. I loved this series when I started it years ago, but I think my tastes have chanced somewhat. I also think this particular entry is the worst so far. I'm halfway through the book and absolutely nothing is happening. The discussions the MCs are having are going around and around in circles. The writing is also pretty weak. The author says one thing, and then contradicts herself in the next paragraph or even sometimes in the next sentence. I'm at the point where I honestly don't care what happens next. Time to remove the rest of the series from my TBR.

This took me forever as I wasn't very interested in it. Not sure why. It ended the series perfectly. Maybe I just was over the series before I started it.
