Soothing Nightmares (I.S.S., #1)

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

I didn’t fear my nightmares. I loved them... and they loved me. I had never been afraid of the dark. Abandoned on the front step of ISS, I’d spent my entire life thriving in the realm of darkness that most humans avoided. I was a woman living among monsters. Arabella was abandoned at the front steps of INSTITUTUM SEQUUNTUR SOMNIA (ISS) one stormy night, only to be found and brought in by the monsters that lived there. An institute of nightmares that housed the most dangerous creatures that walked the plane of humanity. A place that trained and harnessed those abilities for their own use, while defending against the humans that were constantly attacking them. But what happens when a young human woman grows up among the nightmares? Feeling no fear but instead taking comfort in her team that she surrounded herself by? By all regards, Arabella shouldn’t have fit in at the institute. Nothing like the warrior-like creatures around her, the 5’1’’ young woman with pink hair and a vision impairment was absolutely fundamental to her team. Not just for her strategic brilliance but her soothing lack of fear that seemed to tame the nightmares around her. Arabella is bound and determined to keep her monstrous men safe while they are on their missions. What happens when their most recent mission attracts the wrong type of attention? What happens when ISS comes under attack and everything that she values is destroyed? Join Arabella and her possessive nightmares as one human woman finds the monster within herself to protect those that she loves. The ISS series is promised to feature terrifying monsters that include everything from the literal monster under the bed to Lucifer’s overbearing son, the prince of Hell. If you love large harems, brilliant, sassy, but slightly naive female main characters with no fear, and a thrilling adventure filled with steam, vengeance, and a happily ever after, then you are absolutely going to love this. Warning: This medium/fast burn RH contains several dark themes from swearing, violence, and sexual themes suitable for +18.

    It’s 3am and I prefer not to do a detailed review this late so if you want one, look at Miki’s review!

    Honestly, I really liked this series! It was unique and I loved every one of her guys! I do wish we saw more one on one time with them + more group time but all in all, this series was a great read.

    Safety info:
    - Virgin heroine
    - 7 or 8 men? I forgot the number
    - every single one of her mates is a virgin except one!
    - the one mate who isn’t a virgin is someone who didn’t know her earlier like the others/ they just met and he has only been with 3 people before in his lifetime. That was when he was younger and he is either hundreds or thousands of years old so he’s been celibate for a WHILE
    - no OM/OW drama
    - all the H’s only have eyes for her
    - Birth control used in books 1&2 but no protection in books 3&4 if I remember correctly
