Demon Ex Machina by Julie Kenner

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer had we dropped in on her in her 30s. That's a good thing for me. The bad thing was I got this second hand so I didn't have any idea it was book 5. I could figure things out but obviously I was missing a lot of the nuances.

Kate is training her current husband to at least help her fight demons while her 15 year old daughter can't wait to be out there slaying demons. To top it all off, her toddler son (to husband #2) is entering tantrum phase and her resurrected first husband, love of her life, is back in her life and a demon inside him is threatening to kill him and her.

It becomes a race to determine what demon is inside of Eric and can they extract it before it kills him, binding him to the demon forever or will they have to kill him (again) to kill the demon. It was a fun story in the sense of the action adventure part of it. There are many more serious moments (like being tempted to cheat, and almost non-con encounter when the demon started getting more control. )

The one thing I didn't like was there was no poofing into dust of the demons. There was a lot of them trying to hide bodies that were once people who died and were hosting a demon. I don't know why but that really bothered me.
