Ancient Chinese proverb says, give cat mouse and give frog fly, they’ll soothe your monsters so you won’t die.Okay, maybe I just made that up. But I’ll try anything at this point.Croakies is suddenly being overrun by monsters. Yeah. Monsters. And I have no clue where they’re coming from. Are they tied to something we’ve done in the past? Do they have anything to do with the strange phone calls … anything to do with the strange phone calls I’ve been getting from a really prickly local author? Most importantly, how are we going to explain to the humans about the appearance of a certain giantnormous blue monster flinging car-sized cookies around? Where did all these squirrel squattin’ songbirds come from? And, for the love of the goddess’s favorite spanks, why is there ice all over the floor?
Sigh.
The frog and the cat? Yeah, they’re really pretty useless on this one. But at least they’re living the good life thanks to my tireless efforts to feed, house, and clean up after them and their naughty friend Hobs.
Yay me.
Mega monster boogers! This magic wrangling gig is for the birds. And the frogs. And the cats. And the hobgoblins. And, apparently, for the monsters hiding at Croakies.

Enjoyed book 8 of 12 in fact so far the whole series and it is best to start at the beginning. Monsters appearing and then disappearing even in the bookstore what could that mean. In addition retrieval requests are pouring in like there is no tomorrow. The Enchanted police need the keeper’s help all at the same time. Very enjoyable read.
Sometimes our mistakes come back to bite us on the butt.
We do everything to the best of our abilities. We wind up in the craziest predicaments. We fight for what’s right and stay true to that knowledge of who we are. Then suddenly the world as we know it has changed. Is changing. And it’s not for the betterment of anything! What does a good sorceress do? Handles it! What a crazy ride and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time! Holy bat boogers! Things got really intense! As always, fabulous world building! Well written for sure!

This time it was not the Butler, but the Book! Nadia & Crew take us down the rabbit hole once again to save Enchanted and possibly the world as we know it!
This is another fun book by the fabulous Sam Cheever. Naida and her Croakies friends have to protect Enchanted from the monsters that start showing up after she accidentally leaves a breach open. Can they find it and close it before bigger and badder monsters enter the town? Find out by reading this book.

I’m really enjoying this series and this book is a prime example of why. It’s a well-written, fun read full of intrigue and mystery. The twists and turns keep you guessing throughout the story. I’m really looking forward to the next book. I highly recommend both book and series which I suggest you read in order.

As with the previous books, this is a fabulous read. I love the frog and the cat in every story and I love Croakie. This book has additional monsters and the mysterious origin of said monsters. How do they explain this to the humans? You have got to read to find out

Cold ice spots that leave water indoors, a big blue monster that throws cookies, a Naga and maybe others. What do they have in common? Meanwhile, Nadia, KoA is overwhelmed by all the orders coming in.
Everyone has to work together to help each other, not only with the orders but with the monsters. Great to see the teamwork. I was even afraid that the bad uncle might have come back disguised, but… You tell me if you that thought too.
You might be able to read this as a stand alone but I think to really understand what is happening here, especially for the ending, you need ton have read at least the previous book. Reading them in order helps for even better understanding. But if starting her as your first introduction, then go ahead. I would rather you be intrigued enough to go back and catch up then not read this wonderful and creative and different type of a COZY MYSTERY. I known that I was looking forward to this new series when first introduced. I have loved every one and always want more. I am praying that it never ends.
This is my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC book.
Sorry, hi Mr. Wicked, Hobs, Mr. Slimy and others.
My apologies for lateness of review.
An exciting adventure suitable most readers by Sam Cheever
This is an exciting PN adventure, with well written characters and believable world builing. This particular stand alone episode of the series is suitable for most age groups as far as smut with a violence rating comparable to Goosebumps Series. High marks for friendship and teamwork exibited between main ensemble even though some caracters are crustier than others.
*Croakies Monster* gives readers a great escape-read from the hum-drum to lift our spirits and provide a bit more can-do attitude than we had before. Many thanks to Cheever for crafting this up-lifting series. I look forward to reading more.

Naida has real problems, with random ice patches, Council annoyances, and reports of malevolent monsters loose in Enchanted. Grym and Naida’s friends must join together with her to figure this puzzle out. Sam Cheever has created an exciting and humorous addition to Enchanting Inquires. I recommend the entire series.

Croakies and the town is becoming overran with enormous monsters! But why? How can they be stopped? So far no one has an answer. Who is this Mr. Pusnecker anyway? Things are becoming overwhelming for the bookstore, so so many orders for artifacts! Can Sebille, Lea, Naida, and the gang figure all this out before its too late? You will need to read the book to find out. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from Booksprout.
Naida and her team have to find the artefact that brings large and dangerous monsters into their world. There is an unexpected new friend helping htem in their quest.
As thrilling as all the other adventures of Croakies. This one was maybe the most emotional so far. The reader can see some of the characters in a slightly unusual mood.

A cozy mystery that will keep you entertained as you read through the pages. Characters that add to the depth of the story and are strong and well developed. The story line holds your attention from start to finish. Like the others in the series, the author has done a great job with this story and this series.

The Author, Sam Cheever, has a way with her vivid descriptions of people, places and the unexplainable. CROAKIES MONTERS is no different – a totally fun and delightful paranormal mysteries.
After her recent trip to the dimensional buffer Plex, something had realigned in the Universe unclogging the bottleneck of artifact collection orders. Now Naida, Sebille and all of Croakies is swamped with orders that need filled last week. It’s not going to be a quiet week and all hands on deck are needed.
We’ve got:
An abominable monster
A huge cookie tossing monster
More monsters than I name
A snoopy reporter
And of course Société of Dire Magic.
If that’s not enough, how can you resist a story with chapter titles and phrases like:
It’s a Beautiful Day in the Frog Flippin’ Neighborhood or
The Frog Knows What the Frog Knows
Get ready for another Artifact Keeper Adventure!
