Saving the world was never part of the parenting plan.As if keeping house and raising two spirited kids weren’t work enough, Kate Connor has taken on a new job—and it comes with a truly terrible benefits package.Dragged out of retirement and back into the demon-slaying business, Kate is once again responsible for protecting her family, her city, and—unfortunately—the entire world from a rising supernatural threat.
