Monsters, ghosts, dead, undead, and Frankensteins still unsure if they’re depressed because they’re abominations against existence or if it’s just been forever since they’ve been laid, all can find love with Rasputin’s Supernatural Dating Service!
Eli Kowalski has seen his share of freaks as a Certifier for Rasputin’s Supernatural Dating Service. It’s his job to weed out the real monsters from the weirdos with too much black lipstick. While on a routine certification, he comes across the Tablet of Nicaea. A powerful witch and self-proclaimed “Men’s Rights Activist” wants to steal the tablet and use it to kill all supernatural creatures so that “nice guys” like him can have a better chance with women. Eli must unite with the supernatural policing agency, the witch’s ex-girlfriend, and the constantly-naked Rasputin to save supernatural creatures in the name of love. He’ll probably excuse himself from Rasputin’s victory orgy, though.

My Review: (Thanks to NetGalley)
OMG what a hoot! This was definitely a comedy read and I really enjoyed it. From the minute we were introduced to Rasputin, every time he appeared 'on-screen' I had Boney M's disco hit 'Rasputin' playing in my head. Then the author brought it up in the book! (Magic disco ball to save the day anyone? lol)
The story itself wasn't that complicated it was really all about the writing and the comedy that won me over. I loved how the main character was a human who knew more about the supernatural world than a witch did, how you can't trust anyone with a Delaware license, and how Mormon's are a supernatural race, just to name a few.
If you want a fun, laugh out loud read, definitely give this book a go.
Probably the only thing that annoyed me was why did a dating agency have to do the work of a policing agency (when it comes to certifying supernaturals) and why was a policing agency so incompetent? (Letting themselves be completely taken over, shouldn't they have safeguards in place?!) I get that it was to help to story move forward, but it annoyed me.
