Police Chief Delaney Reed can handle supernatural disasters. With gods vacationing in her little town of Ordinary, Oregon, and monsters living alongside humans, she’s had plenty of practice.
But trying to handle something so normal, so average, so very ordinary as planning her own wedding to the man she loves? Delaney is totally out of her depth.
When a car falls out of the sky and lands on the beach, Delaney is more than happy to push guest lists and venue dates out of her mind. The car appears empty, but someone has slipped into Ordinary with stolen weapons from the gods. Someone who has the ability to look like any god, monster, or human in town. Someone who might set off a supernatural disaster even Delaney can’t handle.

Basic Plot: Delaney Reed deals with wedding planning, stolen god weapons, a shape-shifting ghoul, and an unexpected monster hunter.
There was so much chaotic energy to this book. It was fun. Poor Delaney and Rider. I almost feel bad for them. Almost. I do love how Monk chose to deal with the monster hunter she wrote into the story. It was a refreshing change from the typical tropes. Just a fun read.
Had to wait a few weeks for my library to get this, but I was still able to remember the others in the series, unfortunately my library doesn’t have the last one an neither does audible in my region. Aside from that this was my first series from this author and my first graphic audio and I was really surprised. I like “movie in your mind” storyline was great and kept me interested through them all.
I love this series with all the wonderful, paranormal characters on vacation in Ordinary, Oregon with strong women keeping the peace and enforcing the law. This story had me laughing, on the seat of my chair and didn't want the story to end.
This is a silly light-hearted series. I enjoy the wacky characters and the silly situations. Of course, since it is silly and wacky, you have suspend disbelief to enjoy it.
