Kenner is in fine form in this instalment, as her main character, Demon Hunter Kate Connor, has her hands full from every direction: demons, toddler, teenager, current husband, ex-husband, etc. I thought the plot moved along at a nice clip, and even though I was starting to get a little tired of her pining away for Eric, it made sense that she'd be so obsessed with his plight, given that he is the father of her daughter and her first love.
The writing is snappy, the dialogue fun, and the characters are easy to like. I've been a fan of this series for many years, and although I've had my ups-and-downs with it (Book 4 was my least favorite), I thought the series definitely ended on a high note and I'm so glad I didn't skip the last book. (OK, so I just learned that this wasn't the last book after all, and Kenner self-published two more in the series. I'm happy with how this one ended though, and I likely won't be reading the other two.)

Excellent addition to the series! Demon hunting has become a family affair now that Stuart is aware of Kate's true profession. Big bad demons, family bonding and humor. 4 stars
I am only a few chapters in, but this is really not any good so far. The main character is not terribly likable, and her weird love triangle seems contrived. Perhaps it is because I have not read the previous novels, but I think it's just kind of a lame book based on a tired premise. It is not funny enough (though it clearly attempts to be clever), and the language seems very forced... I personally have no issues with profanity and an f-bomb here and there in a book if it seems to suit the character and situation. The sporadic profanity on this book reads like a very prim and proper writer trying to pepper some of the conversations with profanity simply for the sake of catering to a wider audience. It falls flat. Very glad I only paid ten cents for this at a garage sale.
I wanted to love this as much as I liked the previous books in the series but there was just something that annoyed about the characters, Kate especially. I found it very distracting that the only exclamation anyone ever said was "dear god" and Kate seemed to find herself with tears streaming down her face at least once a chapter. I didn't mind the story, though I still don't understand the thing with Eric at the end -- I guess that's the deus ex machina at work. I just found that some of the writing tended to annoy me more than in last books. The series has definitely taken a turn for the dark in this one and I kinda miss the Kate that was killing demons then racing home to cook dinner. I'll be okay if this is the last book in the series but if it's not, I hope the story picks up in Rome and we get some laughs back.
Kate Connor is a married mother of two. She's also a demon hunter. It's basically what would happen if Buffy got married and had kids and then had to resume slaying vampires.
(Kate actually kills demons and occasionally zombies, not vampires, but you get the idea.)
I love this series. :) It's really funny and Kate kicks ass.
