Itโ€™s a little strange to be recommending MM monster erotica to my followers but here we are!

๐Ÿ“” ๐—•๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ผ: Hunt the Wood by Anna Fury and Amy Pennza, the first book in a series of standalone fairytale retelling. 

๐Ÿ“š๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ: Erotica, monster romance, fated mates.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€: Ryder is summoned to visit his evil grandmotherโ€™s coven. To do so he must travel across the Wood, which requires permission from Wotan, the master of the mysterious hunt.

๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: Iโ€™m going to make this super short and sweet. It was absolutely great for what it was. Shortish, super smutty, and adorably romantic through and through. Both Ryder and Wotan had great POVs and the pacing was quick. On top of that, you have the added nuance of it being a Little Red Riding Hood retelling, which is more fun as you go. If you loved Creature Cafe, youโ€™re going to love this too.

๐Ÿ”ฎ ๐—™๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜† ๐—˜๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ: Easy.5 โ€” the world building isnโ€™t terribly complex and the authors do a great job of keeping the info dump short and exposing the need-to-knows.
