SeriousGoose commented on SeriousGoose's review of Soul Eater (Monstrous, #1)
What To Expect - - 'Soul Eater' is a monster romance with spice. It is the first book in an ongoing series of 'standalones' following a different couple in each book.
My Feelings - - I had a great time reading this. The characters were loveable, the writing was decent, and the romance was great!
I like a character focused story, so I didn't mind, but I will admit that there is not much of a plot to this story.
Recommendation - - If you love monster romances and like your spicy books to be mostly focused on the relationship - this one is for you!
3.5 ⭐️ = great story, I’m so glad I read this

What To Expect - - 'What Feasts at Night' is the second novella in a series of horror stories following one main character through different situations.
My Feelings - - The start of this story was a slow build, just like the first one, but for some reason it didn't hold me the way the other one did. I think that the slower start to 'What Moves the Dead' worked for me because it was setting up our main character and the situation they were in, but in this second book I felt that there didn't need to be as much of that set up.
But once it got going, wow. It was creepy, and moody, and a little funny. I loved the horror aspects of this one, and the mystery involved. The characters are as charming as always, and the atmosphere is immaculate.
Recommendation - - If you liked the first book in this series, you will definitely enjoy this one!
4 ⭐️ = amazing story, this will stick in my mind

What To Expect - - 'Scythe & Sparrow' is the final book in a dark romance series of 'standalone' novels.
My Feelings - - This was fun! Lots of chaos, in a different brand to the previous books, lots of heart, lots of murder.
I thought the characterisation in this book was really well done. I felt that these characters had a lot more depth and felt more real than the characters in the pervious books.
The plot, especially with how the timelines work in connection with the other books, felt a bit all over the place though. I found that it actually took away from my enjoyment of the book overall.
Recommendation - - If you liked the other two books in the series, I would recommend this one to finish it off. The characters are great and it's lots of fun.
3.5 ⭐️ = great story, I’m so glad I read this

I'd love a feature that notifies me when another user adds a book to their TBR or marks the book as "interested" directly from my review. I love seeing how my recommendations land, and having a notification would be helpful to connect with the PB user who picked up a book from my review. Being connected with them would give me more opportunities to cheer them on if they end up reading it, engage with their thoughts in the forums, and even discover new recommendations from the books they're reading or interested in as well.
