Can't Teach an Old Demon New Tricks
Rachel Farnsworth’s husband is missing, and her one-year-old is breathing fire—literally. With the help of her friend Constance’s prophetic visions, Rachel finds out that her high-school sweetheart turned husband, Kevin, was possessed by a demon early in their marriage, and that their precocious tot is half demon. Now Kevin is one of the underworld’s most wanted, and Rachel partners with Sam, a fallen angel turned demon bounty hunter, to find and stop Kevin before he unleashes a greater evil. Soon they’re battling a vengeful demon that causes floods, an army of giant babies, and even the devil himself, while developing inconvenient feelings for one another. In the follow-up to Every Demon Has His Day (2009), Lockwood once again mixes witty dialogue, supernatural situations, and a touch of romance. The plot veers toward silly, but the engaging characters and snappy dialogue make this an enjoyable diversion. --Aleksandra Walker
