A review by whenimreading
Monstrous Nights by Genoveva Dimova

adventurous mysterious medium-paced

4.0

We are back with Kosara in Chernograd, after the Zmey has been dispatched, life should go back to normal. But a witch ends up dead, snow falls in the summer and Foul Days monsters appear at night. Kosara and Asen will join forces to get rid of the Zmey once and for all. 

What I like about this series is its atmosphere, it’s cozy but gritty, and the characters are smart and interesting. The side characters add lovely interactions and few memorable moments (cake and wirkolak book club). 

Slow burn romance between Kosara and Asen had me rooting for their happiness throughout. I also love all the magical moments and monsters, overall I’m a big fan of fantasy based on Slavic folklore! Looking forward to read more from Genoveva in the future. 

Dual audiobook narration by Zura Johnson and Tim Campbell had great flow and I’m a huge fan of the accents, especially by Zura. It makes the story very believable and I wouldn’t want it performed any other way. Great use of voice acting to show emotions and distinguish each character, well done!

Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the audiobook to review.
