This book was very easy to read for a middle school student. Its well written and keeps the reader engaged. I definitely felt it was hard to put down. I wish I would have read the first book to have a little more back story but I felt it was required. I was able to pick up the book and jump in. I feel the sensitive topics (bullying, violence, death in family) are all handled well. It almost gives me a bit of Miss Peregrine's book vibe. Great addition for any library or young readers collection. Appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this review.

Sam, who has the special ability to look like someone else, is sent to infiltrate the family of a deceased agent, looking for a list of monsters. But as she becomes friends with the family, she also discovers that things with Kairos aren't exactly what she would expect. And then the new neighbors aren't all they seem to be either. Sam must rely on her wits and her friends to figure out the truth.

I thought this was good story. I found Sam relatable and was able to follow the story even though it wasn't the first book in the series. I like the depth of the characters, and look forward to reading more in the series.

This book is a fun and suspenseful read that keeps you guessing at every turn. Sam Osborne, with her knack for disguise, dives headfirst into a mission full of secrets, surprises, and of course, monsters. If you love a cozy mystery with a bit of a creepy twist, this one’s for you. Sam’s journey to prove herself as a top agent while uncovering hidden truths makes this story both exciting and relatable. Perfect for readers who enjoy a blend of mystery, fantasy, and a dash of the unexpected.

I received a free copy of, A Home for Unusual Monsters, by Shaun David Hutchinson, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Sam Osborne has been busy saving a school, now she has another investigation to do with her secret Kairos group. I never had as much adventure as a child as Sam does, chasing monsters is a real thing. I devoured this book in, one sitting, it was that good.
