★★★★☆

A shaky truce. A pregnant Medusa. And a dedicated doctor who keeps legends alive.

Even during a truce, I have my hands full as a MASH surgeon to an army of warring gods—especially when Medusa herself turns up pregnant. I frankly have no idea what to expect when a Gorgon’s expecting, but I have an even bigger problem when my presumed-dead former-fiancé sneaks into my tent with enough emotional baggage to fill a tank.

He’s been fighting for the other side, which technically makes him my enemy, and now he needs me and the power I’ve kept secret for so long: I can see the dead. It’s a blessing and a curse. Literally. Because the gods will smite me in a second if they suspect.

But the other side is developing a terrible new weapon, and the only person who can stop the carnage was just murdered in a covert lab behind enemy lines. So I have no choice but to pull on my combat boots and go AWOL with my ex and a moody berserker to confront a ghost with a terrible secret.

Too bad uncovering the truth could make me enemy #1…

Warning: This book contains a Star Wars-obsessed werewolf, an adorable hellhound, demigods in peril, action, romance, and friends who put each other first—in a MASH camp where everybody knows your business.

 My Review
I had a great time with this book!  This is the second book in the Monster MASH series which I would recommend reading in order if at all possible but it could also work as a stand-alone if necessary.  This is a lighter read that doesn’t take itself too seriously and has a fair amount of humor woven throughout the story.  I am so glad that I decided to give this series a try.
Petra is a doctor working in a MASH unit during the war between the Old Gods and the New Gods.  Even though there is a truce it seems her work is never done and she is dealing with a pregnant Medusa among other things.  She does not expect to find her dead fiance to be quite alive and reaching out to her for help.  Petra can see ghosts so she is the perfect one to help figure out what is going on at his camp, which happens to be on the opposite side of the eternal war.  
I have to admit that I was a little, okay a lot, sad by the fact that Petra says goodbye to Galen at the start of this book.  We spent the whole previous book getting them into a relationship and I wanted to see more.  I was a little disappointed that Petra moved on as quickly as she did but I decided to just go with it and see what would happen.  I am not giving up hope on seeing Galen again though!
I thought that the story was pretty exciting.  It is always fun to see what some of these characters will do.  Petra is often faced with impossible situations and I love how she always seems to make things work out in the end.  I like that this was a lighter read with wonderful characters and a fun tone throughout.  I cannot wait to read the next book in this series!

I received a digital review copy of this book from Moose Island Books via NetGalley.
