The Trouble with Demons contains the first five books in the Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom series by Julie Kenner:
  • Carpe Demon
  • California Demon
  • Demons Are Forever
  • Deja Demon
  • Demon Ex Machina
It appears to be a self-pub, but I've read the first two in this series and found them quite fun, so I'm listing it anyway, under the "I've personally read it and enjoyed it self-pub exemption" used on some other threads <g>. The title pretty much tells you what the series is about, and I got a good giggle from one of the quotes in the blurb about the omnibus:

“[S]hows you what would happen if Buffy got married and kept her past a secret. It’s a hoot.”—Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author

The author, Julie Kenner, has some other non-self-pubbed series under the name J. Kenner, and is (according to her website) a RITA award nominee and winner for some of her other books.

The Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom series is a long way from my typical addiction to murder mysteries, but a friend recommended the first one, and then I bought the second one, and now I'm going to buy the omnibus, which contains the first five books, and enjoy the next three sometime when I need a laugh. This omnibus is $4.99 and couponable at Kobo US, at least:

Kate Connor is your average, everyday mom with two kids, a husband, and one very big secret … she used to be a Demon Hunter. Now retired, she’s more interested in the domestic than the demonic.
