A review by holdenkillfield
Carpe Demon by Julie Kenner
2.0
The premise is 5/5. I've always wondered what would've happened to Buffy if she decided to settle down and become a stay-at-home mom.
As for execution, I do hope Buffy's life has a little more excitement. It was an ok book, but overall it dragged out and was redundant in each chapter.
After a while, I too was annoyed with Timmy's crying and Allie's sullen teenage moods. Not much going on other than the day-by-day of a housewife, but with the imminent threat of a powerful demon arriving I would've thought more urgency and action would ensue.
Much time was spent on the meticulous descriptions of ensuring a toddler gets a nap and her daughter's poor fashion choices.
How did Kate even become a crime-fighting demon hunter for the Vatican!? That would've been much more entertaining to read as a chapter rather than the mundaneness of home life in each chapter.
It is a very cute story, but just ok overall.
