With such a trashy cover, I kind of thought it’d be more fun. Decent but not incredible.

From Monsters to Demons. I have went down the rabbit hole and might not return soon. I discovered Monster Bait romance and stumbled upon the Guild Codex on WEBTOON. Naturally, I had to find the book and I’m glad I did! Robin might not be in love with Zylas but I sure am. They have amazing chemistry and I can’t wait to see how their relationship evolve. She went from feeding him cookies, him refusing to submit to a human and now he’s contracted to protect her. I couldn’t put this book down and can’t wait to read the next one.

I'm really enjoying this author. This is another spin-off from the first series I started.

“i didn’t know what to say, how to explain myself. then again, there was only one explanation.
      “because i’m zh’ūltis,” i muttered resignedly.”


my favourite part of the book

I think this is supposed to be New Adult but it’s more tame than some of the YA I read.

easy read, good plot, good characters, good fight scenes 4.5/5 because no me gusta romance especially to a whole ass humanoid shaydaan but aside from that v much enjoyed reading

I didn't like the beginning much, tbh, because Robin was such a doormat. I was shocked when we found out she was 20, because frankly she seemed like she was 15. This is an adult, who is somehow incapable of showing some spine, hiring a lawyer, and getting the shit her uncle is stealing from her. She cowers in front of him and everyone else, and I came pretty close to DNF.

But it got better. Basically, as soon as she got away from her uncle, it got better. She still is a bit of a doormat though. Her fucking cousin
SpoilerTravis tried to kill her - and fuck him with his "I didn't mean this to happen" because he's not that stupid, he knew what was going to happen - TWICE, and she lets him just walk away?
I need to see Robin develop a spine. Stop trying to make friends with people who betray her, and start using her skills and tools (hello, demon!) to get back what belongs to her.

^^^ me after finishing this book


I LOVE ROBIN

From the get go too, which hardly ever happens. It took me a little while to warm up to Tori (from The Guild Codex), but I had an instant connection with Robin....probably because I've had similiar thoughts as her. Word of warning...this book will make you hungry. Robin is an avid cookie baker.




I LOVE ZYLAS

I can't say much more without being spoiler-y, but his sass just works. I can't wait to see more of him in future books.


Seriously, if you're all caught up on The Guild Codex, this book adds so much more depth. If you haven't read any of The Guild Codex, I don't know what you're doing with your life. I have an extremely needy 3 month old and I'm all caught up so there's no excuses. Do yourself a favor and immerse your imagination into this AMAZING series by this incredibly talented author! (also you should read all her books anyway)

ARC!

I’ve only been waiting FOREVER to go back into this world
