Jealousy Monsters. Starlight Investigations, #1

Force and Scout thought they had seen everything!It had been three millennia since the Battle Stars had cleansed the planet from the most hideous of creatures that preyed upon the human race. The Gatherers, a select group of Battle Stars, had been left behind to protect the human race from any creatures that had not been captured during The Cleanse or had ventured to Earth by other means. These Gatherers were assisted by the Locator Fairies, who had the innate ability to determine the existence of the evil creatures and their location.
When Scout, an opinionated Locator Fairy, discovers the existence of a creature with a strange signature, she calls upon her favourite Gatherer, Force, to capture the creature for relocation. The pair soon discovers that six children have gone missing in the past six months and if the creature didn't change its method of operation, another child would be taken within the next couple of days. In their race to prevent the creature from taking its next victim and discovering the location of the missing children, Force's and Scout's normal routine will be turned upside down and inside out.
The rules that usually apply to capturing the creatures will not work on this type of monster and Scout finds herself trapped alongside the children she is trying to release. Their hopes for being saved rest completely on the shoulders of Force and a group of twelve-year-old children who are friends with the creature's latest victim. But will it be enough?Jealousy Monsters, Starlight Investigations, Book 1.
