bookshelves: 2009, fiction
The premise of this book is: Kate is a stay-at-home mom who is also a retired demon hunter (like a more religious Buffy), who has to return to her old hunting ways when demons infiltrate her town. I got the book-on-cd from the library, and listened to it while laying in bed with a common cold. It was pretty good for that purpose. The main conflict is less Kate v. Demons and more about Kate fighting the demons without her family finding out that she's a hunter. Also, Kate struggles a lot with feelings of guilt over not being a good enough wife/mother. Like when her husband gives her 2 hours' notice that they're hosting a dinner party, she simply can't order takeout, because then she would be a less-than-perfect wife. Seriously? Get the takeout. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76877604 to: The Brief History of the Dead (Paperback) by Kevin Brockmeier
