Resumen del Editor

From New York Times best-selling author Julie Kenner, aka J. Kenner.

Kate Connor is your average, everyday mom with two kids, a husband, and one very big secret...she used to be a Demon Hunter for a secret arm of the Vatican. Now retired, she's more interested in the domestic than the demonic. So when she catches sight of a demon in Walmart, she tells herself it's some other Hunter's problem. But when that demon attacks her in her kitchen, retirement is no longer an option.

Now Kate has to kick a little demon butt, figure out why the creatures are trying to take her out and take over her hometown, and at the same time take care of her two-year-old, deal with a hormonal 14-year-old, get the family to Catholic mass on time, and try to keep her past a secret from her daughter and her husband.

She's a little out of practice, but hey...if she can juggle two kids and an impromptu dinner party, ridding the town of demons should be a piece of cake. Like the saying goes, Carpe Demon...and Kate intends to do just that.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This book, as crammed with events as any suburban mom's calendar, shows you what would happen if Buffy got married and kept her past a secret. It's a hoot." (Charlaine Harris, New York Times best-selling author)

Good mystery

Good story line. Kept me guessing but it was worth the wait. I thought the mother was a bit over the top with body neighbor but it works.

light and serious at the same time

I especially like that it's about a 40ish woman who's got a normal life. This was a series I listened to from the library years ago and decided to add to my permanent collection. I'm enjoying it as much or more than the first time. on to the next book...

awesome story

The narrator was perfect for the story. She did a great job bringing the characters to life.

Awesome!

I love the entire collection! I have the paperbacks and have read them at least 3 times over the years. The audibles I've listened to many more.

Great Narrator Performing Entertaining Story

I listened to and really enjoyed, "Carpe Demon." The author created a beautifully detailed and believable world with strong characters. Narrator was spot on with every one of them and her performance was always entertaining. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Good paranormal mystery

Kept my interest throughout and I didn't figure out who the bad guy really was until about 75% in. I'd definitely listen to the narrator again and will continue with this series.

Really enjoyable

I started this series ages ago, back before Kindle. I could never seem to find the books. They were either checked out of the library or out of stock. I am happy to see it in Audible. The narrator sounds like the way I thought she would. The premise is interesting and kind of wholesome in a good versus evil way. I couldn't figure out why the ashes of Lazarus wouldn't have hurt the demon since Lazarus was also a saint, but I still enjoyed the story.

Maybe reading the book is better

Not sure if this is a good story or not. Unfortunately the narrator ruins it for me, her voice inflections just really make the heroine annoy me.

The storyline seems pretty solid but again the narrator kept pulling me out of truly immersing myself into the storyline.

I received the E book for free through Amazon and the audible was only $1.99. I wish I would have listened to the sample before I even spent the $2 since audible doesnt want us returning books.

I'm going to try and read the story to see if it's any better when I'm the one deciding how they "talk". It seems almost all the reviews think this is a great story so heres hoping reading it will live up to the hype.

not for me

I couldn't get into to this book. I just wasn't interested in it, so I returned it.
