I needed a solid monster romance that would have me giggling and kicking my feet, and this book has been on my radar for so long so I figured I’d finally give it a shot. It definitely didn’t disappoint. I liked the characters, I enjoyed the romance, the spice was spectacular, and I’ll for sure be checking out the other books in this series.

Moon does a spectacular job creating characters that are distinct from each other, especially when there are so many men in this to keep track of. It’s fun, it’s steamy and I’m curious to see where it will lead.

Tbh I kind of loved how Esther had very little personality and just lived fucking. I've seen that as a critique, but that's something the book is well aware of and is literally a part of her character!!!!
Also I love a reverse haram book that also has a bit of poly thrown in 🥰🥰🥰
I do wish the Big Bad had a bit more depth to him. I felt like I was told a lot about him but I wanted a bit more detail!!! He was pretty dang bad in the final scene though.
Contains:
5 dudes (monsters) and one lady
Orgasm denial through the roof
6-somes? 7-somes???
Lots of love 💞

If you are like me and recently read A Court of Thorns and Roses, and found it to be too stressful plot-wise and not nearly slutty enough porn-wise, this is the book for you.

Long story short, if you’re looking for some mindless monster action - this is the book for you. But don’t expect anything beyond that.
After reading the Sweetverse books, I was really looking forward to this one, but it was a bit of a letdown, to be honest. Lola & Baby’s RH stories had such thorough, well-rounded plots & characterization. This one is pretty much straight up erotica each & every chapter and, oddly enough, the best descriptor I can use is boring. I don’t understand how a monster RH could be boring, but this one showed me it’s possible!
Our MFC Esther’s only character trait is that she’s a gal who likes, no craves, sex. At one time, she even declares that “she’s just a girl who loves fucking.” More power to her, but that shouldn’t be the be-all & end-all of characterization, and I didn’t find anything else about Esther beyond this. Some of the fellas were sort of interesting (Booker, mainly), but overall, there just wasn’t much for me to engage with.
