Monster's Temptation

Monster & Me, Book 1

By: C.R. Jane, Mila Young

Narrated by: Zara Hampton-Brown, Lucas Webley

The Monster King wants to play…

It's been 1097 days and 14 hours since I've been locked in this place. And they've come to me every night.

The monsters in my dreams worship my body, and when I wake up I'm desperate for more. But they’re never there to finish me off.

Dr. Adams says I can leave the asylum if I start to take my meds, but I've always hated how they made me feel...and I'm not sure that I agree with them that I'm actually crazy.

Because dreams don’t make you crazy, right?

I've got to start living someday though...so I finally take the plunge and obey so I can get out.

My dreams stop, and the monsters disappear. I’m finally starting a new life. That's when he comes: the monster king.

Evidently my little dreams weren't just dreams. He and his demon horde were feeding off my lust. Their glowing eyes, sharp teeth, and big…they’re all real.

The Monster King wants me back. I’m their favorite plaything, after all. And I just might want to play.

Monster’s Temptation is book one in the deliciously monstrous Monster & Me duet.

Production issues

Okay, here are my pros and cons of this book. Both narrators are amazing British narrators. I actually got this book because I love Lucas Webley. He is an amazing narrator. The weirdly long space pauses between sentences is definitely not his usual style. I would bet this is more of a production issue than anything else. Same thing with Zara Hampton-Brown. She’s an amazing narrator. Maybe some accent couching would help with her American accent. It’s not a bad accent but as a book narrator to an American ear, it’s obvious. If this was set in the uk with the same voice actors and a different production team it would be amazing. I don’t want to rate the entire audiobook poorly when the real issues aren’t available to rate.

I really hope they do a rerelease. It’s all fixable, just probably expensive. I like the story a lot. I love the narrators (in other books). There are mostly a production and setting issues. Otherwise it would be a big favorite for me. I’m just going to read it.

Not bad, not amazing

While the female narrator did have a weird way of pronouncing some words, my main issue was the pauses with the male narrator. I liked the story by the male chapters were hard to get through.

Female narrator is gold, male is bronze.

The woman narrating was amazing. The man's cadence was an absolute disappointment. I had to increase the speed on his parts to make up the seconds of silence between each god damn sentence. If this hadn't been included in my audible catalog, I'd be returning it for a refund.

I like this book a lot!

I like this book and lot! It was fun and interesting and a great listen. I’m looking forward to the rest of the books in this series.

Interested To See The Next Book

This has been on my tbr for a bit, and I finally finished it. Enjoyed the story. I am interested in seeing where the next book goes, so I will definitely be reading.
