Of Monsters and Mazes

A Dark Romance Labyrinth Retelling (Vicious Wonders)

De: Leann Belle

Narrado por: Kate Fraser, Vic Fraser

The King of Devils stole my cat, now I'm going to take his head

My dating life was already hell before I was spirited away to this treacherous Labyrinth with pitfalls and traps around every turn. The King holds my best friend hostage, while the men in the maze play with my life like I'm a disposable toy.

The Minotaur hunts the twisted corridors, while a mischievous fox tempts me into dangerous trials, where each encounter is more terrifying than the last.

Theron, a handsome, black-horned Weaver of Nightmares, promises to be my guide, but I don't know if he's truly defying the King, or if his charming smile and playful banter are all a clever game. As these monsters work their way into my heart, I just hope I can trust them.

Of Monsters and Mazes is a reimagining of The Labyrinth. This darker, grittier version of a classic fairytale will keep you as on edge as our heroine with its mix of spice, horror, fantasy, and romance. You'll love it if you prefer your enemies to lovers romance with multiple possessive, morally gray love interests, who love to test the limits of their very, very "good girl."

amazing

I absolutely loved the narrators and how well they portrayed all the characters. The story was amazing and so fun to listen to. Absolutely loved the spice!

Spicy Labyrinth retelling. Amazing narration.

LABYRINTH RETELLING?! Say less. I devoured this. Honestly Leann Belle does Urban Fantasy and fairytale retellings so perfectly. Criminally underrated. And then also give me why choose, demons, beasts and dark romance/horror vibes? And a kidnapped kitty?! (Don’t worry NO HARM comes to our feline baby) HIGHLY recommend this one. Narrators did a phenomenal job 🖤

Surprisingly less smut than story

Decent story, writing, and multi POV narration. Interesting world building. I enjoyed the mixture of Greek mythology and The Labyrinth(David Bowie movie). The author did a great job of blending the movie plot with the traditional Minotaur legend as well as her own personal flair. I was surprised at the lack of over the top smut. Something you come to expect in these kinda of stories usually. That’s not to say there was no smut, just less smut to plot ratio than the norm. Personally I would have like to either have more smut( more details longer scenes etc) or more plot depth. This idea definitely could have been fleshed out more and made into a full length romantasy adventure. To me it felt stuck in the middle. The book is too long and seriously lacking on sex scenes to be a quick and dirty smut read. On the other hand there aren’t enough characters or depth to satisfy as a sexy fantasy adventure. Still it was interesting and it definitely took up some time. Her Alice in wonderland story was much better in my opinion. I don’t think I would buy this one again if I had the chance but I will definitely still be getting any others in this series.
