Synopsis

In her role as Aegis, Zoey Donovan has rescued and cared for hundreds of monsters and mythical creatures. Now humans are the ones in need of her help. Someone with a personal vendetta against the Board of Hidden Affairs has kidnapped all the other Aegises in the country--including Zoey's mother.

With the Hidden government in shambles and a string of deadly clues to follow, Zoey and her reaper boyfriend set out on a cross-country chase to stop the kidnapper from killing the captured Aegises. Along the way, they pick up a miniature golem who's on a quest to find his humanity...and may be the key to solving the grisly clues.

If Zoey succeeds in defeating this new evil, she'll finally be reunited with the mother she lost over twenty years ago. But if she fails, she'll become the final victim.

Review

Golem in my Glovebox is the fourth book in the Zoey Donovan series. Her mother is still missing only now she’s been taken by a killer who has already killed the board and has taken all the Aegises that she had just rescued from the collector. Zoey will have to head across the country in a roadtrip that could end in blood. At least she won’t have to drive across the country alone she’s joined by her sexy reaper boyfriend Riley. As well as a tiny golem that Bernice created but unlike her other golems this one can has feelings and doesn’t need to be near her.

After everything that happened with the board members Bernice is finally getting the O.G.R.E.S. (police for the hidden) up and running again. As Hidden are popping up it falls on Zoey to meet up with the leaders of the local O.G.R.E.S. to get them back online to keep the Hidden a secret. It’s while they are reconnecting the O.G.R.E.S. does Zoey get messages with bodies from the kidnapper who has her mom. As she dives deeper who’s hunting her she learns that this has all been coming about a long since the beginning. Will Zoey be able to save her mom and stop the crazy empathy who may be the strongest around?

I love Zoey and her little band of Hidden who help her just like she helps them in her own way. Zoey is by one of my favorite urban fantasy characters after all her fashion sense is one of a kind. She also is a good person with a good heart which is a must. I wish I had my own closet monster like Maurice he’s one of my favorite supporting characters. I think Riley is perfect for Zoey even if they have settled into the old married life before a wedding. I love our new little golem Gris is a perfect addition to Zoey’s little family of hidden.

Golem in my Glovebox is the fourth installment in the Monster Haven series. Zoey has come a long way from wedding planner to savior of the hidden. The concept is unique it’s urban fantasy that mixes mystery, romance and humor to create a brilliantly written story. It’s not every day I come across a series with closet monsters, fairies, skunk apes, injured centaurs, dragons, talking golems which are just an average day for Zoey. I really enjoyed this installment in the Zoey’s world it’s one of those series where I never know what’s going to pop up next. I’ve been able to connect with Zoey since the beginning she stole my heart in the first book and just keeps getting better with age. I’m looking forward to reading the next one, can’t wait to see what Zoey will stumble into next.
