Raising monsters is harder than hunting them. Reece O’Dell was a top-tier operative with Hunters, Inc., until she traded kill orders for kitchen duty in a mythborn commune. Five years later, she’s still trying to figure out how to be a mother to a changeling who keeps sneaking off to the fae realm and lighting things on fire—sometimes literally. But peace was never going to last. Maelie’s powers are surging out of control, and the enemies who once hunted her haven’t gone away—they’ve just gotten smarter. And now, they’re coming for the whole commune. As the threat of war looms and old instincts resurface, Reece must decide if she’s a protector, a leader, or a broken weapon in a fight that can’t be won. One girl. One found family. A thousand ways for it all to fall apart. Monster Trainer is the second book in the new Chaos Caretakers series by Paige Andrews and Percival Constantine.
