Several shapeshifters are passing for human and living in Hollywood. In this book, HAVE MONSTER WILL TRAVEL the fourth in the Monsters in Hollywood series, they intend to make a film about themselves, gradually introducing human audiences to the concept of monsters being around and friendly. Ultimately they hope to reveal their true nature.
This story introduces a new character, Jo, a human film artist, who is brought on board to be the movie's production designer. The author uses her presence in the story to serve the role of uninformed reader. She is often startled and frightened as she is introduced to the monsters; matters have to be explained to her.
Two of the monsters are black demons, one is an angel, and one is a blue dragon. The team needs a stunt coordinator for fights and falls, and they decide to send for a fighting master from China, Tokaki. This man's alter ego is the white tiger and he is used to living in a mountain retreat safe from human eyes but with satellite television. In no time he wants to explore what a human body could do with and to Jo, who is attracted to him but doesn't hesitate to show what a woman can do to a man who disrespects her.
HAVE MONSTER WILL TRAVEL is a fun read, with just enough action to keep the pace up while the shape-changes keep us off balance and the origins of the monster folk are explored. This story will probably be best enjoyed by fans of the first books in the series; though it is a good standalone story, once you get over being thrown in at the deep end.
She’d always heard Hollywood was full of monsters. She
didn’t know they meant actual monsters.
All of Hollywood is talking about Calypso Production’s new
top-secret action movie, and Joanna is tapped to be the
Production Designer. There’s just one big issue: the lead
actors are monsters. Literally.
Bound by tradition and discipline, Tokaki’s clan of
shapeshifers has maintained the old ways even as they’ve
retreated from the human race. When members of another clan
come up with a plan to expose and explain their hidden
existence, he agrees to help. As the warrior who trains all
others, he knows how to inflict both the maximum, and
minimum, amount of damage. Because of this experience he’s
asked to become something they call a “stunt coordinator”.
When Joanna and Tokaki meet it’s electric, and not just
because Joanna watches him shift from a massive white tiger
into a handsome, naked man. Tokaki is fascinated by the
outside world, especially Joanna, who’s colorful in more
ways than one. When he takes Joanna to a hidden temple deep
in the Chinese mountains, neither expects she’ll be risking
her very life. In order to save the woman he loves, Tokaki
must turn to his family for help, risking the secrets his
clan has kept for a millennium.
Warning: This title contains an artistic woman, a demanding
warrior, and sexy misuse of temple grounds.
