Monster by A. Lee Martinez


I enjoyed Gil's All Fright Diner, so I figured I would enjoy this supernatural romp, too. Martinez is one of those authors that you either like or don't like. He's inventive and different without being gross.

Monster first meets Judy when a yeti is eating all the ice cream in the grocery store where she works. He takes care of the problem (with her help) but informs her that she'll soon forget the magic--most humans do. But Monster's job is to capture magical creatures, and there seem to be more of them lately. And Judy is always involved. The two make an odd couple, but Monster has to rescue Judy when Lotus kidnaps her. If you like your fantasy books with a little snarkiness, Martinez is for you.
