Ill-Fated Mate: A Steamy Monster Romance by Jordan Monroe
4.5
4.5 Stars
—Zerne: An absolute drama queen who is also somehow an awkward blushing virgin. Also he has fire and stone manipulation powers which is objectively delightful. 8/10.
—Diana: Sometimes one must have a week of unbridled sex with a winged, horned god to gain some perspective. I respect it. I also enjoyed the nods to her struggling against the glass ceiling in academia. 8/10
—Side characters: Both Eris and Bjeloboch are icons. Eris for being the ultimate petty monster, and Bjeloboch for being perpetually over his brother’s love life but helping out regardless. 10/10
—Plot: This is really a Porn Without Plot kind of book. The setup is for these two to smash. A lot. So …3/10, but that’s not really a failing.
—Smut: We are GOING FOR IT, PEOPLE. In the pool, in the bed, oral, handjob, blowjob. In the air! Wings! Horns! Giant dongs! And, my personal favorite, smoked meat (you’ll understand when you read it, and for that note alone, 10/10)
—Overall, I wish they hung out a bit more doing things that were not orgasm-inducing, but this was a solid banging with feelings book with a smidge of godly angst. A very fun time.
