MORE THAN FIENDS
Contemporary favorite Child segues into the paranormal genre with verve and humor, introducing the adventures, told in the first person, of a reluctant demon duster. Offbeat humor and a sense of the ridiculous make this a surefire way to lift your spirits.
When an elderly woman shows up and tells Cassidy she's a hereditary demon duster who must follow her destiny, she thinks the old lady is nuts. But when she suddenly gains abnormal strength and a centuries-old cleaning solution starts making certain people smoke when she sprays them, Cassidy becomes a believer.
Her love life improves when handsome businessman Devlin Cole shows serious interest. But how is Cassidy supposed to juggle her demon-dusting duties along with everything else? This is definitely not Cassidy's favorite birthday!
