Edin (Monstrous, #2) by Lily Mayne Review

I was in love with Edin from book one. Who wouldn’t? He was the monster that made the best of men doubt their bodies. The same one with amazing abs and a rocking body that attracted eyes. Yes, the monster with child-like personality. A hyper-active one. The perfect sweetheart. When I noticed he had a book for himself, I was thrilled. I dove into it without a second thought. 

Hunter, another military guy, was the complete opposite of Edin. A hot head to Edin's calm and happy-go-lucky attitude. A seasoned veteran stationed out in the wastelands. On Hunter's way to report to his base, he and his best friend slash partner were ambushed by Kolebs. Hunter’s friend, Charlie, was taken by the monsters during the encounter. Edin happened to be passing by and helped Hunter from maybe dying. The duo then had to work together to rescue the soldier’s friends from a horrid faith. 

Like the first book, in Edin the characters roamed across the wasteland on their quest. In this one, I had a clear view of the seme. And boy, was I pleased to know it was who I expected it to be. I swear Lilly wrote her books with me in mind. I could kiss her. Lol---a hidden joke----read the book to find out where it came from. Yeah, please do. Don’t leave me hanging. 

It’s sad to say I never enjoyed this book as much as I did the first one, but I loved the interaction between the big purple monster and the soldier. Edin was a sweetheart all through the novel, and I couldn’t help but love him even more. The author mentioned there would be a book for Charlie and I’m a bit excited about it as well. Oh, Cat, I hope his book is as awesome as he seemed. I couldn’t help but think about him although the story. A bit of a spoiler here but I was a bit pissed Hunter never allowed Edin to save the Aytorin. The poor thing needed rescuing. I couldn’t stand what Hunter said. You want Edin to help you but then turn around and tell the monster he can’t save everyone. Wow, like why do you need help then, sir? Why? Such an asshole thing to say since he was using him for his benefit. Gosh, that pissed me the shit off. Still, I hoped the creature---Aytorin--- got a book for himself. I would love to see it. 

All in all, Edin was a good read. I read it in one sitting. The HEA was beautiful as expected from a story Lily wrote. (I'm starting to like this author. She writes some good shit.) Can't wait to read book three. 

A picture found of the duo in Edin. The drawing of Edin reminded me of the monster. I loved it, so thought it would be good to share it with yall.
