What can I say? Kelly is awesome!! She is so me!! I think we can all relate to Kelly in one way or another.. she's an over weight, middle aged soccer mom of twin 8 year olds..I have one 8 year old and he's enough (plus my other kids?? HA!) And her husband is sick with MS - that's one scary disease. and I' know from watching a friend that it takes a lot to control the pain. Her husband is awesome.But when Kelly loses her job because the company isn't doing well, she was expecting it.. it sucks, but she knew it was coming.WHen the book starts off, she's at the park talking to her sister Jen, her biggest supporter and she knows Kelly is hurting. but Kelly is strong willed in so many ways. She just has to go out and find a new job... even though jobs are scarce right now, and finding a job with benefits to pay for her husbands medical, not to mention the twins? Always needing something, getting hurt or sick... yeah, it sucks... but there has to be a way.. right??Well when they left the park Kelly headed back to pick up her daughter's hat that she left. On her way, she decided to cut through the alley in order to save time.. but when she got to the Alley, she had noticed a big biker guy, pushing a shot gun to the head of a small older man.. there was no way she could walk away from that.When she approached the men, the biker guy flashed something out of his wallet and told her it was police business, and to move along. But the older man was yelling for help. saying he wasn't a cop... who does she believe?When the biker guy drags the old man over to her to get to to go away, she sprays him with pepper spray. and the guy drops his hold on the old man, but instead of running, the old man charges after the biker, and... eats his hand off??  No way.... as Kelly starts to back up, the old guy changes .. all of a sudden, she's not looking at the head of an old man anymore... as he advances on her, she freaks out and empties the pepper spray on him, and he freaks out.....Now Kelly is trying to figure out what she really saw.. it didn't really happen, nothing like that exists.. right?? When she goes back the next day, she sees nothing out of the ordinary, Which convinces her that it really didn't happen... right?  But what about her dreams? Her imagination wasn't that good!So when she gets home, she gets a visitor... Now we meet Denis - the head of the Demon Hunters.. and he is there to talk to Kelly about what she saw.. She got Ivan killed.. the biker guy. and they needed to replace him. So since Kelly survived the attack of the demon, he wants her. there is something about her..Noticing she's over weight, out of shape and  not even sure she believes in this, but between her curiosity , and the $10,000 he offered her for killing the demon, but she refused to take, gets the better of her..  Kelly needs some time, but that only presents a few more problems.. her son breaks his arm, with no insurance, $4,600 for x-rays and a cast, her husband has a dr appointment coming up that he needs to go to, bills need to be paid, and all she could think about was the money she turned down.Pretending she's working at an Antique shop, with full benefits, and commission, Could she lie to her husband and kids and go off and risk her life by killing these demons?And lets not forget the other Demon Hunters... Marianne - she's fun and a really happy person, then Paul, Mario and Rachelle, and Gerard are all pretty nice.  But then there is Suni and Sophia that live and breathe to make sure Kelly knew they didn't approve of her there...I have to say Bill Blais has an Awesome imagination! I can't believe the details and depth he went into with these demons - it was like you were right there. He painted the picture so well, I was excited to see what came next.I defiantly can't wait to get started on Hell Hath No Furry, the second book to Kelly and Umber Series :)
