One that made me uncomfortable, and not for sexy reasons.

This week our Monster Botherer is indulging their sweet tooth with Alicia Montgomery's HORN IN MY SIDE:

Or she might just need creative ways to get a bit of peace so she can read her smut.

It’s best to be completely transparent about your wants and needs.

This week our Monster Botherer considers the nature of what makes a monster in Rose Bitterly's BIRD ON A BLADE:

"Get your warm and fuzzy feelings with some inhuman serial killers, it’s honestly a perfect autumnal read!"

Note to self. Don’t listen to Alexa messages when your parents are around. While I am very excited to read Lola Glass’ new release, I wish my dad hadn’t heard about my particular interest in mating werewolves.

Our Monster Botherer was not particularly bothered this week by S. E. Wendel's HEARTSONG:

The Serpent's Bride by Kathryn Ann Kingsley comes out today. While the MMC is a whiny brat (not in the fun way) I would absolutely bother for the FMC. I want to be her bestie. Not as spicy as I would have expected

I can never resist a monster, I welcome them in all shapes, sizes and sanity loss percentages.
