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.

Coming Up for Air Review

  Book Source: Kindle  Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Novel Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶/5 Coming Up for Air by Amanda Meuwissen Review  I stumbled on this story and noticed the merman on the book cover. I didn't even think much into it---not even to read the synopsis---why I took such a chance was beyond me---and got the book. My childhood obsession with merfolks--not Ariel, I hated her---followed me into adulthood. Therefore, anything merfolk and I'm going to read it. This book fell into that category. And, I was glad I decided to read this book.   It all began when Leigh was dumped into the river by the mobster brothers, whom he stole from to appease the mafia he worked for. On the verge of drowning, he was kissed by an angel. Later he woke ashore without the shackles that the gangsters had tied around his ankle. Thinking nothing of it, Leigh went home, trying to come up with a plan to get himself out of the bind he ...

Ugly (Winter Sun, #1) Review

  Book Source: Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Series Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Ugly (Winter Sun, #1) Review I was in the mood for an omegaverse when I stumbled on Ugly. My God was I not disappointed in my spontaneous decision. Ugly was that MM Romance I never knew I had to read. Like Burke, you could take care of me any day. Any day.  Emerson, a homeless omega, had found solitude in the bar of an older Alpha for the past three months. He never had a problem with the routine exchange of a few meals for a petty job here and there around the bar with the large alpha. Burke was caring and made him feel safe.  Burke could care less about the chores he asked the omega to do. It was a simple trade. Plus, Emerson never caused problems and often left after. Until one winter night. Three days before his heat cycle started, Emerson ended up in Burke's bar begging him to be allowed to stay until his cycle was over. The...

Home Plate (Easton U Pirates, #2) Review

  Book Source: Book Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: MM Standalone Series  Starred Ratings: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Spice Rating: 🌶🌶/5 Home Plate (Easton U Pirates, #2) Review The electricity went out in my area and while bored I read book one, Bat Boy in this Easton U Pirates series, in one sitting. I'm a sucker for character arcs, so when I noticed Mason and Domonic in Bat Boy, I immediately shipped them. It thrilled me to know my intuitions were good and the duo was going to be a couple. So, I continued the trend and stayed up until the blink of dawn to read book two. Not a healthy idea since I had stuff to do in the day, but I wouldn't be a bookaholic if I never did an all-nighter for the sake of reading.  Back to the review.  Mason was the grumpy asshole while Domonic was the caring type. He wasn't overly adorable which fit his character and how the whole plot tied to Mason. I adored the banter between the two. Dominic knew how to handle Mason. H...
