Some stories I liked others I wish I skipped.
While reading I learned that I seem to need more background info about the characters before jumping into the smut. Or if we do jump into it give me a little more info after.
A few stories really confused. I sometimes couldn't quite grasp what was going on or why. Bit overall it was ok.
Here are a few quotes I liked⬇️
“You’re dripping magic, Danica…”
“I want to taste you elsewhere...”
“Oh Jesus,” she whispered.
“He’s not here, female.” I stepped closer, my body writhing. “It’s just you and me. No one to protect you. No one to save you.”
My mate.
What did I ever do to deserve such a blessing for a mate?
He will give me his everything. Always.
Enjoy

A collection of short stories by various different authors, this book showcases monsters from dragons to the Jersey Devil to a mothman and definitely leaned kink heavy. I had a lot of fun with this. The writing isn't particularly sophisticated, but I don't exactly think that's what monster erotica needs to be. My favorite stories were Clio Evan's and C.M. Nascosta.

I love me some monster romance. And Clio Evans is the master. In this story you have a human and creature teaching other creatures how to satisfy their human female partners. They are in a Dom/Sub dynamic and it focuses on overall pleasure and things added in they toy and dynamic aspect. It isn’t just ‘informational’ but also very spicy. My brain went to the teaching as I like to see how authors do ut whether it’s cursory, in-dept, accurate etc. Next story I read in this anthology is a new to me author YD Lamar. I really enjoyed this story. I’m not sure their background but they used a term talking about a group of people that is considered offensive but the way used was accurate to how it is used. Beyond that the story was amazing had a play on Alice in Wonderland that I enjoyed and the spice was chefs kiss

This was absolutely the palate cleanser I needed while spending the night in the hospital. The perfect amount of distraction and absolute bananas bonkers delight to get me through the rough weekend. :)
