Monster Mixer was such a delight! I’ve enjoyed previous work from this author, so I was excited to receive an ARC for this title as well. I am voluntarily leaving this review.

What I loved:
- queernormative world
- safe, sane, consensual, enthusiastic sex
- clear discussions of boundaries
- autistic representation
- prominent transgender representation (one main character and one side character
- discussion of gender identities, sexual orientation, sex
- very cozy!!!!
- fast pace felt right for the content

Overall I really enjoyed this and devoured it in a single sitting. If you’re a fan of paranormal and monster spice, this is for you!

this book is so unapologetically queer and sexy and I love it so much.  I think I can best describe it as smutty gender euphoria.

ARC Review 

This book has a beautiful compilation of short stories that include a diverse cast of characters. 

The stories are short and sweet and I can’t wait to read more books in this series.

ARC Review

Really enjoyed this little anthology! Loved the framing device of the "mixer", loved the 3-dimensional queer and fat characters. Jaime and Vance's story was my favorite, and maybe that's because we got two chapters for them and got to see how their relationship developed a little more. That's really my only quibble with this book--I want more of these characters!

really cute and steamy with SO MUCH representation!!! I loved being introduced to all of the different humans and monsters, the little stories in-between were captivating and it left me wanting more!! I absolutely adored it I just wish it was a little longer!!
