Zoey is a quirky empath/wedding planner with questionable taste in clothing who discovers a hidden word of supernatural creatures when her childhood monster-under-the-bed comes home (after his wife kicks him out).  Monster in My Closet, the Monster Haven series starter,  was cute and sad both - the muffin making monster and the new residents of Zoey's home which has suddenly become a half-way house for displaced supernaturals was cute but there is bit of darkness to it to that was sad because an incubus - who is playing with his food and toying with Zoey - is killing off women and we get to know the all victims at least a little bit. (And I really liked one of them:(Despite the hint of darkness and the alternate world with monsters, brownies, dragons and witches this is urban fantasy light sans the kick-butty heroine - though Zoey is no wimp - and with a very mild touch of romance - kisses only. I liked Monster in My Closet enough to read the next one (Pooka in the Pantry) whenever it comes out  - this was just light cute read I needed as a palate cleanser before moving on to my stack of new releases.
