A first from this author
I enjoyed reading and devoured it all in around 2hours. I’m looking forward to book 2 and seeing how Mark plays into all this.

Pues, quedé.
Fue más plot del que pensé y hubo varios twists que me dejaron de HUH pero sí me ha atrapado. Alexis, icónica reina que tiene a sus pies a 3 monstruos y a un sexy hombre… Aye pero ya quiero saber qué es todo ese rollo del rey falso y el heredero etc etc me recordó un poco a captured by the monsters pero bueno tiene sentido es de la misma autora xd.

This had a ton of potential but just wasn't executed properly. It's a high fantasy idea, complete with hard to remember names, political hierarchies and social structure, falsely advertised as a quick smutty fantasy romance romp. The problem is that so much was crammed in to roughly 200 pages which should have been spread over 4-600. I get it's a series but the first book contained 3 books worth of information and build up.
It's pegged as smutty reverse harem but has very little of that in the first book or much spice at all since there's so much background story to wade through.
The jumping POVs were confusing because you don't know the monsters well enough to establish the personalities and distinguish the names from one another. Also they go from being these terrifying beings that had the fmc in a psychiatric hospital to jumping to their view points after where they love and adore their mate so much which is just fan service to make you like them.
The story itself reminds me of dozens of others, including Faes Captive, ie the normal girl gets stolen away to a mythical scary land protected by her mate(s) and turns out she's the chosen one or else super powerful and defeats the evil force which is ruling the land and preventing the race from finding their mates etc etc
I don't know, there's probably a good idea here but I'm not sure if I buy it.
2 monster tongues giving self fellatio out of 5 high school boyfriends who wait for your return for 12 damn years

Story 3*, but I Added a Star for the Artwork
IT STARTED OFF SO GOOD! I fell in love with the idea that the monsters under her bed wanted her for reasons other than to fill their scare meters (haha). That the boogeymen had even followed her to another country, really showed their determination to keep tabs on her.
After a general setup though, the story felt super rushed. I wouldn’t have minded the spicy scenes to last a bit longer, and I wished there had been more character development. It seemed like variations of “people change in twelve years” was dropped quite often. With as much time hopping that happened between flashbacks and journal entries, it may have been better to have those moments play out rather than just explained.
Lexie makes it sound like the boogeymen were these horrible creatures, monsters, nightmare fuel, but as the story is told, those descriptions lose traction. She makes it sound like SHES the monster, but, even that thought doesn’t go very far. She’s convinced the town believes she’s crazy, but there’s no real proof of that. It’s all just in her head. Maybe that’s the point? That she can’t trust her own inner dialogue? She can’t trust her own memories? If so, leaning more into that idea would’ve been great.
Also, the best friend character, Roxy, did anyone else feel like she just popped up randomly? Or was she mentioned before the scene when Lexie (The FMC) went into her childhood bedroom and spotted the hoodie/jacket she’d left behind just before she was abducted and I completely missed it?
Overall, not a bad story. It lost me a bit in the last few chapters, but, I did finish it. I’ll add book two to my list to check out once it releases.
I did quite love the drawings inserted into parts. It was a fun surprise. Bonus star for those.
