MONSTER IN MY CLOSET (Monster Haven #1)
RELEASE DATE: July 2012
PUBLISHER: Carina Press
GENRE: Urban Fantasy
ARTIST: Frauke Spanuth
I stopped believing in monsters long ago. But I knew I wasn’t imagining things when I found one in my kitchen baking muffins. I’d seen him before: lurking in my closet, scaring the crap out of my five-year-old self. Turns out that was a misunderstanding, and now Maurice needs a place to stay. How could I say no?
After all, I’ve always been a magnet for the emotionally needy, and not just in my work as a wedding planner. Being able to sense the feelings of others can be a major pain. Don’t get me wrong, I like helping people—and non-people. But this ability has turned me into a gourmet feast for an incubus, a demon that feeds off emotional energy. Now, brides are dropping dead all over town, and my home has become a safe house for the supernatural. I must learn to focus my powers and defeat the demon before he snacks on another innocent woman and comes looking for the main course…
CAROLYN’S THOUGHTS
This is a fun cover and the title is very cute. I love how the heroine is crouching and looking over her shoulder, and the ‘Monster’ font works well. I think the design could have been a bit better, maybe the eyes of the monster peeking out from a closet door with the heroine looking back over her shoulder at it. What I think is really good about this cover though is what it portrays, and that’s a fun book, and reading the summary makes me want to read it more.
LAURA’S THOUGHTS
It definitely is a fun cover. I love the fact that the artist has been a bit brave with the heroine’s outfit choice. What a quirky, cool print her dress is made out of! I like her stance and her cute red bob. I agree with Carolyn, the eye of the monster peeking out from a closet door would have been better, and the monster font is very cool.

I agree with you both. It would have been better if the monster had been peeking out of the closet.
I do like the females skirt though! Wonder where she got it?? lol

I like the skirt too – as Laura says it’s different and quirky. I’ve been sent the book for review, so I’m looking forward to reading it and seeing if it’s as fun and quirky as the cover. Hope so.
