BOOK: Insatiable
AUTHOR: Rune Hunt
SERIES: standalone
GENRE: Paranormal Erotica
PAGES: 117

BLURB: Every year the boogie man comes out to play and I’ve heard his appetite is insatiable.

Thanks to the selection ceremony, one sacrifice is all it takes to keep his appetite sated.

But this year is different.

As a human in a shifter’s world, I’m unable to stop the Alpha’s son when he offers me up to the monster, forgoing the ceremony and the traditions that go with it.

When the boogieman arrives, none of us were prepared for what we saw.

Little did we all know, the monster that lurks in the night isn’t the monster we should fear.

Insatiable is a monster romance standalone, involving a wendigo-like monster with a human female. With that being said, triggers are teratophilia as the monster doesn’t revert into human form during spice scenes, and attempted r**e by a human. Read at your own risk as this is intended for mature audiences.

(That time of the month scene had my jaw hitting the floor… 🩸🫣😈)

I really loved this one!! I want a second book, because this just feels like the beginning.

BOOK: Devoured
AUTHOR: Ava Thorne
SERIES: Pythonissam Filia
GENRE: Dark Monster Romance
PAGES: 170

BLURB: Experience this dark historical monster romance that follows a woman's transformation from victim to supernatural predator in the haunting forests of ancient Britain. Set during the blood-soaked night of Samhain, witness a tale of revenge, power, and the dangerous seduction of embracing one's darkest nature.

In the shadow of an ancient forest, survival comes at a deadly price, and some bargains are written in blood.

Flavia is the daughter of a pagan priestess enslaved to the Romans. Used and abused by her Roman lord husband and his men, she dreams of escape—any escape. When she hears the song of the ancient demon that sleeps in the dark woods of her ancestors, she cannot resist the call. The Devourer, a man-eater with no care for human pain or suffering, waits for her there. But Flavia has known many demons with the faces of men, and she flees to the forest to sacrifice herself to him, as long as she can have her revenge.

But the demon wants so much more from her than she ever imagined. What she thought would be a painful end transforms into a seduction not only of her body, but her mind and soul. What will she become as her captor shows her the power that rage can weave into destruction?

In the ancient groves where druids once walked and magic still flows like blood through the earth, Flavia must choose between the familiar hell of human cruelty and the intoxicating darkness of supernatural power. As her body changes and her hunger grows, she discovers that some transformations cannot be undone—and some appetites can never be satisfied.

Are you scared, little human? Or does my bloodthirsty bride tremble at the thought of being devoured by the darkness?
Perfect for fans of dark romance and tales of feminine rage transformed into otherworldly power. If you love atmospheric historical fantasy with supernatural transformation and morally complex characters, this gothic horror romance is your next obsession.

This novella contains mature themes, graphic violence, and explicit content intended for adult readers. Reader guidance can be found at the beginning of the book.

I hate when this happens… then you try and reread it and you do it again and absorb nothing… 😅😅😅
