Carpe Demon

by J Kenner

2005

Kate Connor is a retired demon hunter turned suburban mom, until a demon crashes through her kitchen window. Between dinner plans and deadly magic, she’s dragged back into a life she thought she’d left behind.

Series background & context

The Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom series follows Kate Connor, a retired demon hunter who just wants to get dinner on the table and keep her kids on schedule. Then a demon literally crashes through her kitchen window, and retirement ends fast.

Kate’s world blends suburban chaos with urban fantasy. She’s tied to Forza Scura, a secret Vatican organization that trains hunters to fight demons and other creatures slipping into the human world.

Saving the world is not on her calendar.

A big part of the series is the balance, Kate is deadly in a fight, but she’s also a mom dealing with a husband, kids, and the kind of family drama that can feel as hard as any monster.

The books mix humor, action, and a little romance, with recurring threats and a cast that grows over time, especially as Kate’s daughter starts pushing toward the hunter life, too.

Start with Carpe Demon and read forward for the best character arc. It’s a great fit if you like paranormal women’s fiction that’s funny, fast, and a bit messy in the most relatable way.
