review 1: After waiting a number of years for the next book in this series, I was excited to find out what had happened to Kate and her family. The book is about Kate and her family going to Rome, to have a vacation to try and rebuild after the circumstances of the last book and for them to see where she grew up. Unfortunately encounters with Demons and the discovery of a family member Kate didn't know about means that this doesn't go to plan. I enjoyed the storyline of the book and I continue to love the fun humourous way that Julie Kenner writes Kate and her family members. However, I can see why other reviewers have felt the book could have been longer, as the book has many revelations which I felt as the reader that I would love to know more about, especially with the discovery... more that comes up at the very end of the book. I am hoping that Julie Kenner will be writing another sequel to this series as I believe that Kate, this Demon hunting soccer mum, has more interesting adventures coming her way!
review 2: In "Pax Demonica" Kate, Stuart, Allie and little Timmy head off to Rome on vacation. However, once they arrive at their destination but before they depart the airport the unthinkable occurs, Timmy losses Boo Boo Bear. Before the world ends a handsome college student from the plan returns the bear along with a cryptic warning for Kate. When she pursues him he suddenly disappears.Once the quartet arrives at the B&B, Allie's bag is snatched by a gypsy teen. When Kate gives Chase she discovers he is a demon. He is demanding the "key." However, Stuart interrupts and Kate is hit.At the B&B Kate is surprised to discover the inn is run by a former acquaintance. Additionally, there is a strange teen running around by herself at the inn. When her identity is revealed Kate will be in for a rude awakening.The fate of the world is once again at stake; however, this time it may not be Kate who is the one to save the day. As a matter of fact, she might have to sit on the sidelines and watch in awe. Stuart and Kate must examine their relationship and future. Stuart steps up to the plate to prove his dedication. Also, he pleasantly surprises me with his ability to set aside his emotions and do what is right for his family.I enjoyed this read but have the concern that has been plaguing me, "What is the direction of this series?" Each book features a new demon to battle but we don't seem to be heading anywhere. Are we going to be ten years from now reading book 24 with no end in sight? A battle building over time with one demon leading to a major battle and ending would be a lot more interesting and fulfilling. Hey, I'm just sayin.' less
