First sentence:
"The bookstore was sandwiched between a dry cleaner's and a shifty-looking accounting office."
Description:
"Because of the disaster that was her last job, Zoe is searching for a
fresh start as a travel book editor in the tourist-centric New York
City. After stumbling across a seemingly perfect position though, Zoe is
blocked at every turn because of the one thing she can't take off her
resume --- human.
Not to be put off by anything -- especially not
her blood drinking boss or death goddess coworker -- Zoe delves deep
into the monster world. But her job turns deadly when the careful
balance between human and monsters starts to crumble -- with Zoe right
in the middle." -- from the back cover
My thoughts:
I enjoyed this travel guide to the hidden areas of New York City that
monsters need to know about. After reading it, I don't think about
places like the Statue of Liberty or the subway quite the same way!. I look forward to reading the next book, Ghost Train to New Orleans.
