Captured by the Monsters by R.L. Caulder
3.0
Captured by the Monsters kind of disappointed me. Mostly because this was on my radar for a while. My heart hurt a little every time the publication got pushed back. It kind of felt like the book and I were doomed from the start. Still, I kept hope within me alive because I really wanted to dive into this book.
Unfortunately, things just feel flat. In the beginning, we sort of get mysterious selection vibe and then we are thrown into the world of mysterious monsters. Are they or aren't they being sacrificed? Will something else be happening? Well, of course something else was going to happen people. The monsters somehow find love at first sight with our main character.
Then things dip into the dark and weird. If I was ever told I had to live off of someone's something and never be able to eat anything ever again. Well. I would sacrifice myself right then and there. Could just be me though but I can't give up burgers and wine for that.
Other than that, you definitely get your fair share of romance. Mostly because that's all you really ever get. Yeah, there's some drama thrown in there but not a whole lot happens. It's basically an orgy for your eyes the entire time. Which, I'm not really complaining since I love the smut. I just wanted a story to go along with it.
In the end, it was an okay book. I was definitely expecting something different and darker than what I got.
