Minivan Warrior
Alex Reese is a mid-thirties mom of three living in upstate New York and negotiating the everyday struggles of working parenthood — until her daughter Anya’s eighth birthday party unexpectedly devolves into surreal chaos.
When Anya abruptly unleashes impressive magic, it heralds an attack by demonic minions and the arrival of the Blake siblings, an enigmatic trio fated to protect Anya, and other children like her, from Dark forces. Alex is determined to do whatever is necessary to navigate her new reality and protect her family from unimaginable threats. At the potential cost of her marriage, the career she loves, and everything familiar to her, she and her children abandon ordinary suburban life to prepare for an impending battle between Light and Dark.
While Alex and her family acclimate to the magical world and their newfound companions, darkness is gaining traction on earth. A powerful demon with a link to the Blakes' past sets a plan in motion to tip the universal balance in favor of the Dark. Strange happenings, like the meteoric political rise of a polarizing reality TV star, could have devastating consequences for humanity.
Whether she’s confronting demons or wrestling with her conflicted feelings for Lucien, the eldest of the Blake siblings, Alex must come to realize her power lies in being exactly who she is, in all of her flawed, minivan-loving glory.
Laced with humor and pop culture references, Minivan Warrior swaps the typical young, single urban fantasy heroine for an average suburban mom thrust into the intersection of motherhood, magic, and a stranger-than-fiction reality.

I really enjoyed this read! I was intrigued originally by the premise of having an adult fantasy/dystopian lead, rather than the usual teenage hero as well as by the title, but the story drew me in so much more. It was a little predictable in some places, but the author went the extra mile to add an element to each situation to keep the reader guessing, which I liked. I did wish the ending was a little more eventful with a bigger action or cliffhanger to leave off on, but the epilogue did help. Overall, it was a great debut and did give me vibes of an adult version of the Mortal Instruments series (which I love!). Do keep in mind it is more of a background book to build the plot for the upcoming books in the series so it can be a little slower, but there is plenty of action and relationships built to keep you hooked. I definitely recommend trying this one out! Also, a thank you to the author for allowing me to receive the book as an ARC. I can't wait to see where this series goes.
