4.0

Sixteen year old Mandy arrives home to find her mother on the brink of death-injured by something or someone very dangerous. Before Mandy's mother passes, she imparts some important but mysterious information to her. Mandy is then whisked off into a new and dangerous world by her upstairs neighbor, Joel. Very quickly, Mandy learns that her life is not what is seems. Mandy is a twin daughter of a dark witch and light witch as well as the next amethyst Slayer. The woman she thought was her mother, as well as Joel are really Werewolves who have been protecting her. Now, it is time that Mandy learn to harness her powers. The rest of the Slayers need Mandy in order to help rescue her twin, Veronica.

The Monster Upstairs picks up right where The Vampires Next Door leaves off and bounces between Mandy and Joel's story and Allison, Rodham, Lacy and Veronica's story. In The Monster Upstairs we get to meet even more supernatural creatures: werewolves, shifters and boggarts. Mandy's journey is a supernatural adventure that is action-packed from the start. I enjoyed learning about the light and dark witches, the werewolf pack and how they fit into everything. With Mandy's gifts, the Slayers are growing in strength, but not complete yet. It seems that Veronica has some tricks up her sleeve to help the others get to her and when Allison's friend Vicky visits, they might find another piece of their Slayer puzzle.
