These get better and better

I absolutely love the mix of sweet and dark… all so spicy. I like how some are keeping to a shared world from one volume to the next, but I also really like the ones that are just all new ideas.

Can’t wait for the next volume!

Read The Filled Vessel by CM Nascosta: The story of a wannabe witch in Cambric Creek whose sleep paralysis demon falls in love with her while covering for an incubus. This is so much darker than I’m usually into, and somehow delightful at the same time. And smutty as hell. Plus SUCH an accurate portrayal of sleep paralysis almost hit too close to home. 4/5 stars

Loved them all!!

Loved this short story anthology. What’s great is that these were all new short, smutty, monster loving stories from amazing monster loving authors.

i don’t know how to feel. it’s a shorter anthology than others i’ve read recently but i still skipped over 2 or 3 of them. the inconsistent grammar and copy editing was more of a hindrance in this than it usually is for me.
