MC got annoying fast.

If you are walking down a street and you run into an a-hole, then you ran into an a-hole. If you are walking down the street and everyone is an a-hole, then maybe YOU are the a-hole.

I feel like that saying best applies to this book’s MC. She is obnoxiously belligerent in this second book. I’m only half-way through and I’m having a hard time getting through it because of how lame she is.

I LOVED the first book! Sure, she seemed to embody the toxic, patriarchal spirit of competition with anyone else who could compete with her sexually, but I was able to overlook it because she also had some really tender, vulnerable aspects to her. No one is perfect.

Except in this book, she is apparently perfect, because all of the male characters bend over backwards to defend and validate her childish antics.

She shows next to zero self awareness, is petty, jealous to the point of deep insecurity, and combative with SOMEONE in almost every scene, even when no one deserves it. Especially when no one deserves it. I really hope this is a character arc thing and not a permanent fixture of her personality, because, again I LOVED the first book. But if this is how it is going to be from here on out I’ll be done with this series.

I should be rooting for the MC but instead I find myself desperately wishing someone would slap some duct tape over her mouth or teach her some humility.

Gonna finish this book. I’ll change my review if anything changes, but, like I said. Half-way through. Not terribly optimistic. WHY, Albany Walker?? Is this the type of person you think is reading your work? It’s almost insulting to the reader. How am I supposed to relate to this?

Such a great conclusion!

Some Kind of Monster picks up where the first book left off seamlessly, with all the hijinks of the four characters intact. The search for the evil witch (with a great plot twist at the end), the friction between the men settling into more like sibling rivalry, Dami maturing and dropping some her her annoying habits all makes this a book I couldn’t put down. Then add the depth of Dami and her harem and friends becoming one integrated family and you have a true HEA all around.
The performance is spot on, with the voices and emotion of a on-stage play. I hop there will be more!

Series Finally

2nd book in the series:
Damiana will not take anyones' sh#t
Her journey of protecting her friends and all monsters comes to an end with a sweet gift finishing up the series.

Grim is still my favorite.
Gunner isn't brought up as much in this book.
Calix is still a sweet flirt
Sadly this series has ended, but I am looking forward to reading more from Albany Walker.

The book covers are amazing and Vanessa & Luca's narrations are perfect.
I read both through audible.

Excellent Story & Narration

I've really enjoyed the 1st 2 books in this series and hope there are many more to come. The narrators do a fantastic job of bringing each character to life and allowing this to be an enjoyable listen

Not bad

Not bad but it did drag a little towards the end.
The villain in this story wasn't all that. Yes there is sex and I'm that there was. Expected more but still wasn't a bad story.

Grim-Tastic

This series was so fresh, dark, graphic and exciting that I wish it would continue. I love the take that the monsters are not always the bad guys. Sometimes the baddies look harsh but you can't always tell from the outside who is evil. Dami was a great FMC not whiney or annoying at all. Her three men are all so different but love her unconditionally! (Grim is by far my favorite) The sexy time was okay, all one on one for the most part. No typical RH group sex scenes. They spent a lot of time on the "after" (downtime after main plot line) which I didn't mind because Vanessa Moyen could narrate almost anything and I would listen! Overall worth the listen!

Returned for the smut but still dissapointed.

Please work on the story I cant enjoy the harem if there is no meat to the sandwich. Yikes so much potential wasred they aren't even monsters just human shaped dildos for this lady. Smh where are the real monster fkrs at?

The adventure continues with Dami and her men still trying to figure out who is killing the baddies (charmed). While also working out the kinks in their relationship. I really loved this story! It was just as good as the first book. In this book we meet Torin who is heartbreaking at first but ends up being such a fun character. I enjoyed the banter between him and Dami, they really did form a sort of brother/sister bond. It was too bad that Aeson didn't have a large of a role in the reveal of who the bad witch was. I would have liked to see her get some revenge! Normally, I can figure out pretty quick who the murder is in a murder mystery book, but with this one I was a tad surprised, which I liked. Kept me on my toes! Awesome story and the audibook was amazing. Fantastic narration!! I'm so happy I read this and then bought the audio. Credit well spent 💝💕💝
