Story
Naughty girls need love too. A beautiful monster, that’s what I am. My packaging is just a little nicer than the creatures you hear about dwelling in your closet. With three baddies for my mates, things are definitely getting interesting. I think I’ve even convinced them not to kill each other. But I have a new purpose, someone is hurting our kind. Stealing Charmed magic in arcane rituals that leave my friends drained and dead, and I won’t allow it. It’s time for them to find out why even the Monsters fear me. I am the bad guy.

Story
I'm learning to accept that my entire life has been a lie, and that with my mother's disappearance there are mysteries I may never uncover. Not to mention, my abilities are manifesting and I'm just beginning to understand what being part of an Infinity really means. As my relationship with each guy grows, so does the Infinity bond between us. Living with four moody guys - who give me butterflies with a simple look - can be slightly overwhelming. Still, I need answers, and moving forward is the only way to get them.

Havenfall was never just a job to me, and that was before I knew I was mated to two powerful supernaturals. I’m settling into my new life, but our problems haven’t disappeared with my acceptance. In fact, they may be far bigger than we ever imagined. Classes are in session, but something is wrong within the walls of the school. Kids have gone missing, and it seems a trusted member of the staff may be behind the troubles plaguing the academy.

Story
As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt. When I can't take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don't like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift...a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

For the past 10 years I’ve been a victim. A victim to my pack. A victim to my true mate, who rejected me in the most brutal of ways. And a victim to Shadow Beast, who used me for his own gains. Or did he? The beast of mystery never reveals his whole hand, but one thing is for sure...in my time with him, I've changed. Now I will no longer walk the path dictated by the powerful men in my life. Never again will I let my strength be taken from me. I must evolve or die. And we all know, with a choice like that, there’s really only one answer.

I make a living out of screwing over the jerks who capture and torment supernatural beasties. But when I free a bunch of particularly powerful monsters from their cages, I'm not counting on them following me home like lost puppies - stunningly hot lost puppies, but still. These manly monsters are determined to repay me for my help, and they won't get out of my apartment, until they're satisfied we're even. There's something to be said for allies so devoted they'll tear off heads and shred souls on your behalf. I'm all for joining forces.

I know why my mom moved us around every three months and acted like we were on the most-wanted list. We've been running from the man that should have protected us, a man that decided he wanted my mother to himself and all the power that came with her. A man that is probably my father. Keeping me a secret from the Infinity community can't last much longer. I've already bonded with half of my Infinity. Our lives are changing, and my powers are growing as is my acceptance of who I really am.

I'm not so different from most people. Like everyone else, I have life goals. Goal #1: Become a real girl instead of this invisible ghost thing I currently am. Goal #2: Convince the four men I've been haunting for the past five years to pick me to be their new toy after goal one is complete. Goal #3: Figure out who/what I am and why I can't remember anything past the five years I've been haunting this quad. Goal #4: Eat popcorn. See? Perfectly normal. Sort of. Gotta start small, after all. It's not like anyone else is perfect either.

Now, getting her to cooperate has presented new challenges. She's still ruled by fear. Hellbent on keeping my Infinity safe, we take a few chances. Chances that might just backfire, but there's no way I'm letting anyone control my future any longer. Determining what Leon is truly capable of is the only way to get rid of him. Forever.

It was an ordinary job. Another night, another asshole collector of the supernatural. I free some poor little beasties from their cages, pocket a few trinkets to pay my bills, and burn the place down on my way out. Just call me the Robin Hood of monster emancipation. I didn’t count on three manly monsters following me home like lost puppies. Stunningly hot lost puppies, but still. Now I’ve got a seductively cheeky incubus, a sweetly enthusiastic demon, and a grimly stoic angel camped out in my kitchen.

“Madison Kate Danvers was murdered tonight.” Those words changed my life, and not for the better. They were wrong, of course. I wasn’t dead. But I was set up. After being charged with a string of offences - and made an example of by my political-minded father - I’m eventually released back into Shadow Grove with one thing on my mind. Hate. Someone is going to pay for derailing my carefully laid-out future. How very convenient that someone just moved into the bedroom down the hall from me.

I'm not all that special, really. I'm sure there are a lot of girls with old gypsy blood who see the dead, have killer cults hunting their family, and turn into something that gets scary when they panic. Yep. I'm just an ordinary girl. I wish people would believe that. I've been labeled as one thing or another for most of my life: Death Girl. Crazy Gypsy Girl. Gothic Chick. Monster. It took my mother's death for me to finally start getting answers about what's really been going on. Unfortunately, most of the answers come from men...who aren't just men.

“Liar, liar, pants on fire.” The words scrawled on the back of my newest stalker mail makes my blood run cold. I have no idea if it’s the lie I know or one that I don’t. Since arriving back into Shadow Grove, I’ve been stalked, tormented, chased, and almost killed. I’ve been lied to, repeatedly, by people I was growing to trust.

Worth a listen
What did it for me, was the narration of the story! I LOVED that the male does all the male voices and the female does all the female voices. I wished every book that has both male and female narrators did this. The story is okay and I do like the main characters but I felt like the plot could have gone in a more fascinating direction. But I love the idea that it's the "monster" in the story that's telling her story instead of the regular "hero gets rid of the monster in the closet" type of story.

Great writing and narration has me wanting more…
Voice acting was great. Little bits of humour throughout was a lovely touch and I actually laughed out loud a few times.
Lucas changes his voice for different characters but there were a couple times I thought someone was talking and the narration revealed a different character. However, he has a rather sultry voice that didn’t make me care.
Vanessa has such a great voice that she even lulled me to sleep a couple times while listening before bed. The raspiness of her voice gives the main character that depth of dangerous but sexy.
Some people complain about the cussing and that it was unnecessary but I think it fits the characters rather well. If you’re offended by some cussing in a reverse harem romance book, maybe this isn’t for you. I feel its welcome since the book is a little on the darker side.
Overall, I’m looking forward to more books voiced by Vanessa and/or Lucas, as well as written by Albany Walker.

Love this book!
When this book came out I read it right away and loved it. So much so, I did a reread within a month, which is unusual for me since my TBR pile is a mile high.
Now that the audiobook is out, I got that right away too even though I am in the middle of a reread of another series. I LOVE that there are dual narrators and that the man is reading all of the male parts. They did a fantastic job bringing the story to life and I can't wait until the next installment.
I 1000% recommend this book, you won't regret it!

Loved this book!
Talk about a breath of fresh air. A female lead who is fun and forward moving. The "monsters" are fabulous while her potential mates are awesome. This book will revive your faith in worthwile female leads. Beware...if tons of sexy time is not your thing this book is not for you. Kind of a cliff hanger...so hoping for the next book very soon.

Terrific story
This was an original story. You know how sometimes books feel like there is a formula and just the details were changed? This one didn’t feel like that. I liked that several of the predictions I made early on were incorrect, it kept me engaged and continuing to guess.
The narration was very good, both Lucas Webley and Vanessa Moyen. You could distinguish between the different characters by both voice and personality of not just the main characters but secondary ones as well.
Although there was sex, it wasn’t excessive and didn’t overtake the story.
I would recommend this book, it’s worth the money or credit. Although it didn’t end on a cliffhanger, you know that there will be a continuation to resolve issues. I’m looking forward to it and won’t hesitate to purchase it.

Cute story with a touch of sexiness
The story is about charmed ones. The h is a sin eater, she has friends such as a brownie, a creepy bony guy, a shifter, a berserker, and the Grim Reaper.
Although she doesn't have sex with 3 males at once, they end up as her mates. The conflict of the story is with a coven of witches. The narration was great. It kept things interesting when there wasn't much else going on.

DNF
Sigh. DNF. I liked the general story idea. Ruined for me by the stupid FMC. Common RH trope - give the girl beauty and super powers to pretend she’s “strong.” Meanwhile she is emotionally and intellectually weak and doesn’t treat others very well because she is rife with abandonment & mommy/daddy issues. She even knows she is full of shit the majority of time but is such a pathetic person she doesn’t care to do anything about it - other than use the guys and her “friends” as she sees fit. Or, she whines about how lonely she is but doesn’t really do anything to change it. She’s hot, she’s cold, she manipulates, she’s selfish, and she’s arrogant. What does she actually do? She sits alone in a house all day and wait for her “friends” to come and entertain her? What exactly am I supposed to like about her? That she finds hot guys attractive? That she killed someone once and to try and not do it again puts herself in seclusion and numbs her senses so she doesn’t do it again? That she has no problem fucking a random dude/dudette when she’s horny? She’s supposed to be 30 for goodness sake. In the beginning I hoped the tide would turn but I’m a little over half way through and she seems to be getting worse.
I also wasn’t a fan of the FMC narrator. The whisper talking is really annoying. There were moments when she’d talk sort of normal and I was like, ahhh... good - but then she’d start whisper talking again and all I could picture was some mother reading a bedtime story in quiet whispers to one kid while another kid is asleep across the room. Given the context of the story, not a great fit.
All that said, I did really like how the male narrator was integrated in to the story whenever the guys spoke instead of switching narration by chapter. And I liked the side characters.

Narrator's SUCKED...and not in a GOOD way.
This furthers my stance that good narration can bring a boring story to life. Alternately, and in the case of Friends w/Monsters, poor narration can sink an amazing story into the labyrinths of Hades.
This dual narration thing didn't work here. The actors were robotic. The male - Lucas Webley - didn't invest in the story at all, basically rattling off his pieces like it's a grocery list. The female - Vanessa Moyen -, too, simply "read". Her forced cat purr thing at the end of each word was cute at first, then it just became cheesy and monotonous. However, HER various characters had their own voices, at least.
Basically, it was painfully like listening to the middle school drama club recite a play for extra credit.
Not invested in these characters enough to grab book 2. It's a really good story. At least I think it would be been. But I'm not reviewing the book version. I'm reviewing the Audible. The only development that grabbed my attention was an encounter from her past near the end, and even that was slated over.

so much better than expected
I really wasn't sure if I would like the story at all, but I did! the narration performance was perfect, much better than any I've ever heard before.
