Yes, I DO see your review on the list, so I'll definitely swing by. And I'm so jealous that you got to read and review book 2! Ha-ha-ha!

Thanks so much for your kind words. I hope you DO read and enjoy it, too!

I also like when different perspectives are given (and done well) in a book, so I'm glad it worked out well here. Too bad about the errors, but I'm glad that it didn't distract from your enjoyment! Thank you for sharing and I'm glad you enjoyed this one!
Y'know, this was one of those books where I was so into it that I had to force myself to look for the errors. And you're so right about this being a great book for October! Thanks so much for your kind comments.

Ha ha ha ha ha! I really love your description, even though I've never seen World War Z; thanks for swinging by!

This makes me think of Zombie Land but with 3x the danger. Look forward to meeting these characters and entering the park with them.
I've never seen Zombie Land, so thanks for commenting and name-dropping! I'll go look it up, :D

You should really try and see World War Z. Now to think of it, it plays out as if reading a book. It's makes for a compelling watch.

Your review has raised my interest in reading this book. Sounds very engaging. Too bad there were a handful of errors. I know I'll enjoy this as well.
Nice review

In a contest between vampires, werewolves, and zombies, who do YOU think would win?
In a book entitled Monsterland, it is really worth wondering which among the vampires, werewolves, and zombies would win.

You got me wondering about the answer of that mysterious question, so I'll read the entire story to find out.

Thanks for the succinct review. 😉

Vampires, werewolves, and zombies, oh my! This sounds like a fun read to have them all wandering through a theme park based on monsters. I'm looking forward to seeing who the winner of the contest is going to be in this book! Thanks for the review!

Oh, I'd pay to see that fight. It sounded like the author did a great job juggling all the characters in this book -- there sounded like a lot, but the fact that all seemed well-developed is a very good sign indeed.
