Book of Interest: Valentina Salazar is not a Monster Hunter

I found another interesting book, Valentina Salazar is not a Monster Hunter by Zoraida Córdova and as the title states it centers on monster hunters (and protectors). The first part of the description makes me think of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie and TV series where in the movie Buffy Summers' high school gym was on fire and would eventually burn down after vampires showed up during prom. And in the first episode of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series, there was a reference to it when Buffy, as a new student at Sunnydale high school, was in her meeting with Principal Flutie.

Anyway, back to this book, according to the description Valentina and her family are monster protectors who help magical or supernatural creatures. And just when her family is trying to move away from that life after the death of her father and be "normal", a supernatural creature may need their help. However, they may have to deal with monster hunters who are after the creature.

How could I not want to read this, it seems like an interesting take on the monster hunter/slayer stories.

Book: Valentina Salazar is not a Monster Hunter by Zoraida Córdova

Description:

It takes a special person to end up in detention on the last day of school.

It takes a REALLY special person to accidentally burn down the school yard while chasing a fire-breathing chipmunk.

But nothing about Valentina Salazar has ever been “normal.” The Salazars are protectors, tasked with rescuing the magical creatures who sometimes wander into our world, from grumpy unicorns to chupacabras . . . to the occasional fire-breathing chipmunk.

When Val’s father is killed during a rescue mission gone wrong, her mother decides it’s time to retire from their life on the road. She moves the family to a boring little town in upstate New York and enrolls Val and her siblings in real school for the first time.

But Val is a protector at heart and she can’t give up her calling. So when a mythical egg surfaces in a viral video, Val convinces her reluctant siblings to help her find the egg before it hatches and wreaks havoc. But she has some competition: the dreaded monster hunters who’ll stop at nothing to destroy the creature . . . and the Salazar family.
