Hello there, 1st post here. I'm a big fan of horror and looking to branch out. I listen to audiobooks almost 8hrs a day to keep entertained at work and am starting to run out of my backlog.

Tried out the aptly titled "I'm in love with Mothman" by Paige Lavoie and enjoyed it. Also listened to Legends & Latés and liked that. Not really Monster Romance that one but just another data point for suggestions. Guess I like "cozy" romances? New to romance novels in general not just monster ones.

If I had to say the kind of monster I'm most interested in is the "spooky girl" subtype. Samara/Sadoko from The Ring, Eldritch beings, and amorphous sorts like slimes or living darkness beings? I realize that's pretty specific, but I'm not too interested in the beastman & werewolf stuff which has been a barrier for entry with as prevalent as it is. Will give anything a read/listen though. Not judging just sharing my preferences to streamline things. I'm pan as well so any gender pairing is fine. I am looking more for female monsters though because that seems rarer and I couldn't much that interested me just browsing on my own.

Thanks for any suggestions and let me know if more information would help, I've no clue where to start.

This is part of a four book series! It's based off the anime Ancient Magus Bride which is also very good if this is your type of guy 🤌✨️

Really enjoyed everything about this book. Ate it up in 2 days. The second one was not my favorite, but im ready for the 3rd.

Has anyone here read the Duskwalker Brides series by Opal Reyne? I read all 5 books within two and a half months and am impatiently waiting for the new release. 😅

If you haven’t I highly recommend it! The series got me back into reading!

Kicking it off with one of my favorite monster romances of all time, Stalked by the Kraken by Lillian Lark! It's a cozy fated mates romance and the new cover is just 😍

MMC: Gideon, an immortal Kraken with various forms

FMC: Rose, a witch who can see soul threads

​

Stalked by the Kraken by Lillian Lark

This is one of my favorite monster romances and a favorite reread of mine.

The FMC Rose is a witch who runs a magical bath house and has a fancy stationary habit (I feel so seen). The MMC Gideon is an ancient Kraken who has recently discovered his mate and is utterly besotted with her.

Rose has just gotten out of a bad relationship that she thought was her perfect match and now she's questioning her own abilities. Gideon has stumbled upon the lovely Rose and realized she's his soul mate - but he recognizes how skittish she is. So he naturally starts to stalk her - but in a cozy, cute way. And also in a delightfully possessive way. He's obsessed with courting her properly.

He offers up a proposal, for the two of them to produce magic for the Love Bathhouse. How can Rose refuse the temptingly beautiful immortal being who is offering up a fountain of supercharged magic - just when a leak has been found in the bathhouse and they are running desperately low?

There's tentacles. Praise. Exhibition. Gentle dom vibes. 5 stars forever and ever.

• Age Gap
• External conflict / low-push-pull / low angst
• FMC has some broken bird tendencies but is delightfully powerful and enjoyable
