Review: I still want my own Maurice

I was eagerly awaiting the sequel to Monster in My Closet and R.L. Naquin did not disappoint. I literally did nothing on the day it was released other than reading.All the characters that I came to know and love from the first book made an appearance in the sequel, with some added "crazies" thrown into the mix. I loved Zoey and Riley even more than in the first book, and they exhibited some common sense I rarely see in romance leads. Actually, this is not even a romance book to begin with, but in many other non-romance fantasy books with romance elements I still see main characters proclaiming love to each other within days of meeting."I refused to label it love; it was too soon for that. I decided to go with extreme like, a deep caring that overpowered everything else I could see, touch, taste and smell, and it came from me as much as it came from him."I loved how the world of monsters was expanded on, more questions were answered and even more questions were left unanswered. I'm definitely looking forward to all the future books in the series.My one complaint and the reason why I took away a star is because the resolution came to quickly. Yes, the bigger picture was introduced, but it didn't seem too plausible to me that everything would happen so easily.I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves their Urban Fantasy with a side of wacky but fun characters and a different take on the genre.
