Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book and am leaving my honest review. I did read and review the other books in the Monster Boyfriend Series. They are in the previous post.  Going into Haunt, I already had a sense of the cozy, spooky atmosphere that the Monster Boyfriend Series delivers. What I didn’t expect was just how much I would end up loving this one. One of the things I appreciated right away was the tone of Theodore’s POV.
