Publisher's Summary

Diana's life was in a rut - she hated her job, she was perpetually single, and she needed a place to live. But then the perfect apartment came along. It seemed too good to be true - because it was. As it turns out, the apartment was already inhabited - by monsters.

Vom the Hungering was the first to greet Diana and to warn her that his sole purpose in life was to eat everything in his path. This poses a problem for Diana since she's in his path...and is forbidden from ever leaving the apartment. It turns out though that there are older and more ancient monstrous entities afoot - ones who want to devour the moon and destroy the world as we know it. Can Diana, Vom, and the other horrors stop this from happening? Maybe if they can get Vom to stop eating everything...and everyone.

Guess Who’s Coming to Ragnarok

So many possible titles for this review. “Tuesdays with Cthulhu?” “Sex and the Apocalypse?” “Eldritch Horrors to the Rescue?”

“Chasing the Moon” breaks so many genre clichés it’s hard to know where to begin. When Diana becomes reluctant guardian over an all-devouring entity, the story promises to be a Twilight Zone episode, and one that ends badly, too!

Then she acquires a second ward, and it begins to resemble a situation comedy - “The Odd Couple” by way of “The Munsters?” Throw in a Rom-Com subplot that doesn’t pan out, and the possible end of the universe, and this novel has everything.
And yet it works!

I’m trying to avoid spoilers, but as I listened I visualized many of the characters as though they were from “Monsters, Inc.”
