This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Mara Alvarez had a plan. Sign the decline forms, hand back the inherited business, and be back at her desk before ten.
Then she saw the dragon.
When Mara inherits Second Chance Staffing from a relative she barely knew, she discovers forty-two active creature placements, a state review in six weeks, and an office manager who was apparently expecting her. The agency places mythic creatures in human workplaces — a dragon in parking enforcement, a banshee in customer care, a minotaur in a warehouse maze, a gargoyle on a roof he refuses to leave.
None of the placements make sense. All of them are failing. And every single one came through the same contractor.
Mara spent eleven years in HR compliance. She knows a workplace disaster when she sees one. She also knows the difference between bad luck and bad intent.
Bad Placements is the first book in the Temporary Monsters series — paranormal comedy about a reluctant boss, a found family of misfits, and a mythic staffing agency that was never supposed to survive the audit.
