One thought on “Take the Monkey and Run”

1. I often pick books to read by their covers alone and this one was one I took a chance on and I am so very glad I did Take the Monkey and Run, by Laura Morrigan, which came out July 5th was one of the most fun mysteries I have ever read I was blown away by how much fun, how great the mystery and characters were and how quickly I felt emotionally attached and involved I felt in this story It was such an awesome read I don t want to give it away at all, however I will say this, the diverse and rich [...]

Another wild and exciting ride in this installment The mystery was wonderful as usual, and kept the interest going all the way with its page turning exciting plot The main animal that needed to be rescued, brought a lot of new problems for Grace, that left some interesting moments As for the ending, for this series, there is almost always, a cliff hanger ending There is no stopping with this book Its left on an ending that will leave you wondering, what is in store for the next installment Hopef [...]

7. 3.5 starsPositive I very much appreciate a mystery that does NOT revolve around a murder.Morrigan s use of dialogue is awesome.Great ending Negative The book seems to take a long time to get moving and drags in places compared to Books 1 3.There isn t enough animal interaction throughout most of the book, especially with the monkey, whom I ve been waiting to meet for four books.

8. Another wonderful installment in this one of a kind series If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it Doctor Dolittle I don t know about you, but I ve always wanted to know what animals are thinking Thanks to author Laura Morrigan, I get an idea of what could be happening in their little heads Having already secured a following for her original Call of the Wilde Mysteries, Ms Morrigan has read her reader s minds, and penned the best book in the series so far, sure to bring new fans TAKE THE [...]

9. I loved this book so much This series is one of my absolute favorites, and when this one hit the shelves, I immediately picked it up Our heroine, Grace, is an animal telepath, and she is just such a great character I also love her dog, Moss, I get so excited to hear him talk, it always makes me smile This book is full of fun, and some fun new characters that I would love to see stick around The only problem with this book, is that I read it too fast, and now I have to wait for the next one.

20. Do you ever run across a book or a series that defies a true classification Or have you found an author who makes all those subgenres work for you when no one else has That s the Call of the Wilde series for me I don t normally read books where there s a supernatural fantasy element that has psychics and other phenomenon in a cozy There are plenty of them out there, and I read very few because most come across as just silly However, Laura Morrigan has such an easy and engaging writing style alon [...]

25. I absolutely adore this series Sometimes in a series, you find the author has become repetitive or maybe even flat Maybe they ve run out of ideas or simply have things going on in their lives that effects their writing It s no ones fault But Laura Morrigan shows NO signs of letting up The series is fantastic In her first official job as a animal telepath, Grace flies to New Orleans to help locate a missing woman by talking to her cat Grace is immediately warned by the mysterious Logan aka The Gh [...]
