Thirty two year old Cassidy "Cassie" Burke has only come into her powers as the hereditary Demon Duster one month ago and already she has a price on her head.  If finding out demons exist and seem to be living in plain sight in her hometown isn't enough, her daughter's long lost father has moved back to town, and Cassie's demon lover is cheating on her!!  Since man trouble doubling isn't enough for this "duster", Brady, a gorgeous male sex slave fairy, escapes and comes to her for sanctuary. 

Cassie has her own weaknesses for food, sex, and designer handbags (not necessarily in that order). She juggles her own daily life problems coping with her normal job, dealing with a sixteen year old daughter, THREE troublesome males in her life along with her Demon Duster training and duties.  Her daily adventures as the price on her head keeps increasing is exciting enough, but Brady's former owner turns out to be Vanessa a demon queen and she will stop at nothing to get Brady back.   With only one month of halfhearted training, because Cassie isn't exactly the exercise loving type, she has to take on the demon queen and her demon hordes. 

 Reading this book was like talking to a good friend....  earthy, straight forward and funny as all get out.  Who can't commiserate with wanting to kill a demon for a second time after you realize he ruined a brand new designer handbag or getting angrier at a demon for not giving you your ice cream sundae than at their attempt to kill you?  This one made me laugh out loud more times than I can count...very endearing and hard to put down.
