Monster Under My Bed, Volume 1

De: Holly Roberds

Narrado por: Michelle Sparks, Gregory Salinas

The nightmare beneath my bed has only one obsession. Me.

In a childhood fractured by abuse and neglect, the monster under my bed was my unlikely guardian.
The bloody night he abandoned me left me broken, and alone for too many years.

But now he’s back.

As I’ve matured, so has my need for him. My desires are dark, perverse, and only my monster can satisfy them.

At first he refuses to touch me the way I so desperately need. But then his shadows pin me open and tear me apart until I am remade in his darkness.

Though my protector has returned, my world is unraveling, ripped apart by the evils of men and the creatures that stalk me from the dark. Violence dogs my every step, until I'm on the verge of becoming something new—something that will make this world tremble.

My monster wants to save my humanity. I only crave the corruption of his touch.

What we create together is horror, seductive and vile, and I need it to fill every hollow inside me.

Even if it kills me.

Welcome to a new side of Holly Roberds, and a dark monster romance meant for those who like it pitch black

the book itself, then hearing the words too, awesome!

Great to take something that everyone does fear or has feared and make it real!

Interesting Story

Definitely check the trigger warnings but if these don’t bother you then I recommend the book. The story did have a bit of redundancy, but it was definitely different. The performances were excellent and I am dying for the next book!

I just can’t

The only thing that got me through most of this book was the narration and the hope for more. I have never disliked a MFC so much that I actually just can’t finish.

I couldn't get through it on my kindle

I think grooming can be accidental. I also think the author of this book did everything perfectly for me to not think it was grooming and I still walked away thinking it was grooming. He's not trying to get with her when she's underage but he's definitely not leaving space for her to have healthy relationships with anyone else and there is probably an age Gap.
I like the concept of a shadow daddy under a bed. I liked that the power imbalance shifted. I wish there wasn't a sequel but not because I'm mad I have to wait but because I thought I would be over and done with this. It would have been a better story all wrapped up, but here we are.
I guess it was worth 5$
