Book Reviews
Hello! This is the corner of my online presence where I read and talk about monster romance books of various kinds. I have not written any of the published work featured here (and I could hardly review my own monster romance books when I publish them; I would be terribly biased). The vast majority of the books featured here showcase sexually explicit material and are aimed at readers who are at least 18 years of age. If you are not at least 18 years of age and/or feel unsafe while interacting with frank discussions of sexual topics, please leave this page immediately.
On a more lighthearted note, I do not use a star rating system when reviewing
books. (I prefer to call them recommendations). A characterization choice or plot point I might find really annoying in a book is no doubt something that a different reader might find endearing, and vice versa. I can hardly dock a star off of a book purely on the basis of personal taste! In these recommendations I will be honest about what I like and don't like, but never intentionally cruel or even unkind to the best of my ability.
Finally, most of the authors here are smalltime writers who cannot afford to quit their day jobs and devote themselves to their passions. Although media piracy is valid in many, many cases, it is not valid when it comes to indie authors. If you find an interesting book on this webpage, please consider buying it legally and supporting the author!
