Monkey Around
Monkey Around | Jadie Jang
5 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
The debut novel from Jadie Jang is an action-packed urban fantasy delivering a bold new take on the Monkey King in San Francisco - complete with murder and mayhem! San Francisco has a Monkey King — and she's freaking out. Barista, activist, and were-monkey Maya McQueen was well on her way to figuring herself out. Well, part of the way. 25% of the way. If you squint. But now the Bay Area is being shaken up. Occupy Wall Street has come home to roost; and on the supernatural side there’s disappearances, shapeshifter murders, and the city’s spirit trying to find its guardian. Maya doesn’t have a lot of time before chaos turns up at her door, and she needs to solve all of her problems. Well, most of them. The urgent ones, anyhow. But who says the solutions have to be neat? Because Monkey is always out for mischief.

#12Booksof2022 On the ninth day of Christmas my reading gave to me...San Fran noir with a shape shifting girl/monkey.

A fun fantasy read about a sarcastic, bad ass shape shifter out to protect the super natural creatures of San Francisco. Often from each other.

This book right here!! My September #buddyread had me on the floor laughing and also hopeful for what comes next. This urban fantasy book is the real deal. I am not sure what to say, oh wait — add this to your TBR. A review is coming. I am thankful for @TheKidUpstairs for suggesting this book. Review coming in a bit.

This was great! An urban fantasy based in non-Western folklore and mythology. No elves or dragons here. And it was SO NICE to see an urban fantasy that I was able to see myself in. This also had a very classic UF feel - I got War for the Oaks vibes at times. I really hope this is the start of a series.

Loved this fun #urbanfantasy #story. The narration was excellent and the author included a range of mythologies, not just European mythology. I received a copy of the audiobook version from Storytellers On Tour for a Book Blitz, and they're hosting a #giveaway too. Click the link below for my full review and giveaway links:
