This was a great book for me because I have always loved the old monster movies as a child and imagine now that these same monsters have been leading normal lives with you and me all along. Jesse Petersen has created such a charming, hilarious and highly-entertaining tale about monsters living among us and I instantly fell in love with these characters. Natalie Grey was so adorable as one of Frankenstein's creations who worked in the city morgue at night trying to hide her superhuman strength and her scars from the rest of the world.  I loved how she seemed to find herself in charge of the investigation with Alec when she was so used to hiding in the shadows so she wouldn't be discovered.  She went from being a meeky character to this strong woman who would do anything to protect the people that she considered her "family."Alec was a super sweet guy who instantly connected with Natalie during the murder investigation and probably wouldn't have gotten to know her if these murders hadn't of happened. I loved how he was sort of a Casanova with the ladies but who also had a hard time keeping a roommate around the full moon. The secondary characters in Club Monstrosity were very entertaining and made want to watch all their movies again to familiarize myself with their stories.  Jesse Petersen is a fabulous writer and I can't wait to read the second book in this great series.
