Monster - A. Lee Martinez

Monster Monster is a crytobiological containment specialist, that is, he's a bounty catcher of odd creatures. He meets Judy, a supermarket cashier, while answering a call regarding a Yeti that is cleaning out the ice cream aisle. Judy is an incog, one that can not remember magic, but a rune on her forehead helps just a bit. Monster is called back when trolls run through Judy's apartment, and after Monster's own apartment is overrun with goat-headed men, he begins to suspect that something bigger is going on. It turns out that an old lady with a thing for turning people into cats is manipulating the universe with the help of a stone, and Judy is a threat to her success. Sound a bt stretched? Perhaps, but this was a fun, quick read!
