This is a collection of short and spicy stories loosely connected via the Monster Menagerie facility, although one or two do not mention it at all. They are monster and human pairings, F/M (with the exception of the first story, it’s M/F/M). All of the stories are adorable and super fun! The FMCs are relatable and make all the right choices ;) lol! 
I will say that the endings are bittersweet because, although we do get spicy and satisfying endings, we don’t get full resolutions. One story does get a full, albeit quick, HEA resolution, but the majority of the stories do end abruptly. It might be better this way though, because we get to come up with our own imaginary ideas, like filling in the blanks, if you will. All of the stories had very interesting plots and the most dreamy monster MMC!
