“A Home for Unusual Monsters delivers an exciting blend of supernatural intrigue, secret organizations, and shape-shifting deception. Shaun David Hutchinson crafts a fast-paced, engaging story that builds on the world introduced in Howl while adding new layers of mystery and suspense.
Sam is a compelling protagonist, balancing her desire to prove herself within Kairos with the moral dilemmas of deception and trust. Her ability to manipulate how others perceive her makes for some thrilling moments, especially as she infiltrates a former agent’s family. The story weaves together action, mystery, and unexpected twists, keeping readers invested as Sam uncovers shocking secrets.
While the pacing occasionally slows to focus on worldbuilding, the unique concept and engaging characters more than make up for it. Fans of monster-hunting adventures and secret organizations will love this clever and immersive read. With its mix of heart, humor, and suspense, A Home for Unusual Monsters is a worthy addition to the genre.”
“Sam Osborne, a budding agent of the secretive Kairos agency, is eager to prove herself after helping save St. Lawrence’s Catholic School from a terrifying monster. Gifted with the power to control how others see her, Sam is perfect for her next mission: infiltrating the family of a former agent to uncover hidden information about monsters living among humans.

My ten-year-old daughter read this book and absolutely loved it! She was captivated by the suspense and found it to be a real page-turner. One aspect she particularly appreciated was the author’s use of foreshadowing and the first-person perspective, which made the story feel more immersive.
She also found the field guide to the monsters incredibly helpful for visualizing and understanding the creatures described in the book—it added a fun and creative dimension to the reading experience.
However, one thing she didn’t enjoy was the repetitive use of the word “said” in dialogue. She felt that a greater variety of dialogue tags could have made the writing more dynamic and engaging.
Overall, she thoroughly enjoyed the book and was excited to share her thoughts about it!”
