Monster in My Closet
by R. L. Naquin
I stopped believing in monsters long ago. But I knew I wasn't imagining
things when I found one in my kitchen baking muffins. I'd seen him before: lurking in my
closet, scaring the crap out of my five-year-old self. Turns out that was a
misunderstanding, and now Maurice needs a place to stay. How could I say no? After all,
I've always been a magnet for the emotionally needy, and not just in my work as a
wedding planner. Being able to sense the feelings of others can be a major pain. Don't

into a gourmet feast for an incubus, a demon that feeds off emotional energy. Now,
brides are dropping dead all over town, and my home has become a safe house for the
supernatural. I must learn to focus my powers and defeat the demon before he snacks on
another innocent woman and comes looking for the main course…
