A Monstrous Claim: Part 1 by R.K. Pierce
3.0
I received this book as an ARC in return for an honest review.
I do not like the main female character. She seems vastly unrealistic. I don’t see any woman who drives Uber in a big city feeling unsafe with two large male passengers one moment and then wanting their number and to hook up the next. This is the theme of her. Each time something is dangerous or a strong emotion is felt she is over it instantly.
The perspective from the males was better written and more interesting. They had set needs, goals, hopes and desires that they were working toward. When something was against those things it took real thought and processing to move past.
While there is light flirting with more than one male, the only thing close to reverse harem for the first 75% of the book is a bit of voyeurism. Then the third male is brought in at roughly 95% of the book.
The ending was completely unfulfilling. The set up and world building had me hooked and I was expecting a cliffhanger of some sort. Instead we end with an epilogue with everything magically being cleaned up so that the dangers of the outside world are gone.
I’ve rated this a generous 3/5 stars because the male characters were interesting, the world well designed and something I would have read more of. The spice levels were good. However the main female character was fickle, and the ending was wrapped up like a television show that was unexpectedly cancelled early.
