review:
A group of monsters hiding in a modern city meet once a week in a church basement. It's a support group for the struggles they go through, but after all the years, it's gotten a bit tedious. Members include a mummy, a vampire, a werewolf, Jekyll & Hyde, and an invisible man.
When the invisible man turns up dead, it's suspicious. When the leader of the group, a blob called Bob, also ends up dead, it seems like someone is hunting the monsters down. Not only hunting them but matching their deaths with the ones in "their stories." They way they die in their respective books or movies. It's a lighthearted detective novel with a hint of romance and lots of humor. There is a sequel and this book does have an open ending.
The characters are interesting and quite human, in spite of their monstrous lives and pasts. It's all about what makes us different, what we do to fit in and the people we surround ourselves with to make our lives interesting. I really liked it.
I was given a review copy of this book by Gallery, Threshold, Pocket Books and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this book.
