I had fully expected this to be a hot little series of vignettes - and it totally was, with all sorts of combinations going on - but I didn't expect it to be as sweet and, at times, romantic as it was. The level of care shown between the partners was really good to see, and Jamie and Vance's second chapter was just about the cutest thing ever. So yes this story is a hot little festival of beings getting off, but it's also adorable and shows lots of different queer identities.
A very fun litte read!

This was lovely and extremely spicy! Full of sweet character interactions, good communication, and queer/trans, neurodivergent, and diverse bodies rep! Loved it!

A hefty serving of heat and heart, Monster Mixer is a delight. Spice centered on mutual consent and respect! Characters with depth beyond their sexuality!
I absolutely adore how each character is written with so much love and attention to detail. It's clear that the author either has direct experience with many of these identities and/or they did their research and consulted queer folks who have. I related to Jamie's joys and anxieties as a trans man more than many other transmasc characters I've read.
While I enjoyed learning about the other characters, I was most invested in Jamie and Vance. Honestly… I was pretty sad when their portion came to a close! I love these guys and I would pick up more stories about them in a heartbeat.
Thank you so much to the author and to BookSirens for a chance to check this collection out for free. I'm writing this review of my own accord.

ARC Review
This book has a beautiful compilation of short stories that include a diverse cast of characters.
The stories are short and sweet and I can’t wait to read more books in this series.
