Monsters own the world. And now, they own me. There are two roles for a human—either you’re a monster’s pet or you’re dead. When I’m ripped from my family and the resistance at the age of eighteen, I think my life is over. One second, I’m fighting against the monsters who enslaved us for years, and the next, I’m on a stage, waiting to be bid on by the very beasts I hunted and killed. Everything changes when I’m bought by four of the most terrifying monsters in all of existence and the kings of our world—The Four Terrors. The Empty Man, who has no corporeal body of his own. As such, he possesses everything and everyone within his sights. He’s the light that flickers, the doll that speaks, the sink that bubbles over. The Grotesque, someone I’ve never seen with my own two eyes before. Rumor has it, if you set sight upon his face, you’ll die a horrible and painful death. But he whispers to me, his seductive voice promising of all the sinful things he plans to do with me—and to me—if I open myself up. The Devourer, who needs to feast on human flesh to survive. He has claws for hands, horns erupting from his head, and bright red eyes that lure me in. And finally, The Creeper, who travels through portals in closets—the definition of the monster in the closet. Sometimes, he’ll sit in my room, a silent shadow, watching me. Wanting me. I’m nothing but a pet to these dangerous, malicious beasts. But maybe… Maybe I want to be ravaged by the monsters. This is a reverse harem romance with protective, possessive, psychotic monsters and the female they all love. If you like your men a little deranged and one hundred percent monstrous, your female a badass, and panty-melting heat, then this is the book for you. The things these monsters can do with their tongues…and claws…and horns…and tails…

This is honestly one of the best monster romances that I’ve read, and I’m quite annoyed with myself for having judged it by its cover and putting it off for so long. I went in to this book assuming it would be a shallow, why-choose fast burn, and was so pleasantly surprised to discover that it is in fact and well-developed dystopian fantasy with interesting characters and an engaging plot. Was there still some fast fucking that had me rolling my eyes, because really? Yeah, there was. But it wasn’t the crux of the book, and they were relatively enjoyable (keeping in mind I’m generally rather hard to please when it comes to smut).
I genuinely enjoyed myself as I read this book. It made me laugh. It kept my attention. It moved at a pace I found fitting for this particular story. I LIKED the main female character. I’m anxious to read the sequel! I’m not sure what more I could ask for.
