R.L. Naquin writes urban fantasy that does not take itself too seriously. Her books are populated with monsters in closets, djinn running havens for displaced supernatural beings, and Greek gods working at an employment agency. The tone is light and fun, with protagonists who are usually ordinary people discovering that the world is stranger than they thought.
The Monster Haven series, starting with Monster in My Closet in 2012, is her longest-running work. It follows Zoey, a woman who can see the hidden creatures living among humans, as she helps them navigate a world that does not know they exist. The Djinn Haven series picks up similar themes in a connected setting. Naquin also branched into the Mt. Olympus Employment Agency books, a multi-strand series following different mythological figures like Cupid, the Muses, and a Gorgon working undercover.
Naquin’s books appeal to readers who enjoy paranormal fiction with warmth and wit rather than dark intensity. Her characters tend to be likeable and her plots favor charm over grit, which has built her a dedicated following in the cozy urban fantasy niche.
