Product Description
Book Description
An hilarious comic fantasy in the style of Christopher Moore introduces Monster, a pest-control expert who specializes in removing mythological creatures from the wilds of suburbia.
Product Description
Meet Monster. Meet Judy. Two humans who don't like each other much, but together must fight dragons, fire-breathing felines, trolls, Inuit walrus dogs, and a crazy cat lady - for the future of the universe.
Monster runs a pest control agency. He's overworked and has domestic troubles - like having the girlfriend from hell.
Judy works the night shift at the local Food Plus Mart. Not the most glamorous life, but Judy is happy. No one bothers her and if she has to spell things out for the night-manager every now and again, so be it.
But when Judy finds a Yeti in the freezer aisle eating all the Rocky Road, her life collides with Monster's in a rather alarming fashion. Because Monster doesn't catch raccoons; he catches the things that go bump in the night. Things like ogres, trolls, and dragons.
Oh, and his girlfriend from Hell? She actually is from Hell.

If like me, its a hard slog to wait for the latest Christopher Moore or Tom Holt then you'll be pleased to hear about A Lee Martinez. Not only does his writing have the same elements of humour within but he carries it off with a delightful story arc that will keep you entertained throughout. This offering from Martinez not only entertained but has made me add his name to my list of authors to watch as I really didn't realise how much time I was spending in his company. Add to the mix a good understanding of pace with a whimsical touch and it's a definite cracker.

I found this book to be a good mix of fantasy and humour, the story gets going straight away and blends the two themes nicely. There are some good twists to the main plot and the main characters are not your usual protagonists but they are easy to identify with.
Some parts of the story are plain hilarious and as with A Lee Martinez's other books, there is always a depth of intelligence to them. I would definitely recommend it!

As the title suggests it isn't the most enthralling book ever but (having first come this universe via this book) defintely good enough to buy since the plot goes somewhere and the characters are consistent and believable (and mostly likeable). If you already read others in this series then it will slot in if not then you can pick up the books anywhere since the stories are mostly self contained (you will wnat to read otehr stories from earlier on just to sort out some of the rules).
