I loved this! It was such a fun story with a lot of laugh-out-loud moments and a mystery with plenty of twists.I enjoyed the protagonist, Natalie, even more this time around and I really like the way she is with Alec. They're an adorable couple and compliment each other perfectly. Almost everything involving Alec had me cracking up, especially references to his PMS (Pre-Moon Syndrome) and the humor starts almost from the very beginning.The story centers around the Van Helsings' declaration of war. Natalie and her support group of monsters consisting of a werewolf, a swamp dweller, a mummy, a vampire, and a few new additions, must work together to keep everyone safe and to stop whoever is outing them to the public.This proves to be a difficult task because tensions are running high, one group member is feeling neglected, and not everyone has a deep level of trust for their fellow monsters. So there are as many obstacles to overcome within their group as there are threats to worry about from the outside.The Monsters in Your Neighborhood was a wildly entertaining read from start to finish and I'm anxious to see what kind of trouble Natalie and Alec will get in to next. If you love urban fantasy with tons of humor and creativity, then you must read Petersen's Club Monstrosity series!
