title: Carpe Demon
author: Kenner, Julie
description: Carpools. Crabgrass. Creatures from the depths of hell. Suburbia has its problems too...
  
  Lots of women put their careers aside once the kids come along. Kate Connor, for instance, hasn't hunted a demon in ages...
  
  That must be why she missed the one wandering through the pet food aisle of the San Diablo Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, he managed to catch her attention an hour later--when he crashed into the Connor house, intent on killing her.
  
  Now Kate has to clean up the mess in her kitchen, dispose of a dead demon, and pull together a dinner party that will get her husband elected to County Attorney--all without arousing her family's suspicion. Worse yet, it seems the dead demon didn't come alone. He was accompanied by a High Demon named Goramesh who, for some unknown reason, intends to kill off the entire population of San Diablo.
  
  It's time for Kate Connor to go back to work.
