Soul Eater by Lily Mayne

5.0

Ok, I’ve just started dipping my toe into monster romance, and this was recommended. Holy mother am I glad I listened and dived in.

The story grabs your attention instantly. You start with Danny and his realization he’s just become cannon fodder. The military is hunting down the impossible to catch and kill Soul Eater, Wyn. After a series of events leads them to be traveling companions, love is in the air.

It’s hard for me to imagine that this is Lily Mayne’s debut novel. The world building and back story is so well written, you can imagine yourself in this world. It’s depicted so clearly and beautifully. There is angst, violence, compassion, and love, so much love. And don’t forget the hot, hot spice you will find in this book.

Wyn and Danny work hard for their love, and there’s a meddling giant purple monster (I see you Edin) who ‘helps’. You truly get to see them build and learn to see each other, to see past the titles ‘human’ and ‘monster’.

I am so glad I took the plunge and am super excited to continue on in this universe
