The Rycke

Monstrous, Book 3

By: Lily Mayne

Narrated by: Michael Lesley

Life as a raider in the Wastes, where monsters roam and the military lurks, is as easy as it sounds.

I’ve been out here for a long time, and the fear that courses through my blood every time I step outside our camp walls to scavenge never fades. No matter how many monsters you face—and have to run for your life from—it doesn’t ever get easier.

But when I come across a bound and injured monster in an abandoned military base, I can’t leave him behind. His presence in our camp is causing tension, but I can’t bring myself to care when I get to see a different side to him—when he starts to show me who he is beneath the pain and lingering trauma.

Despite his gentle nature, I soon discover why others are so desperate to own him; why the military, and now this stranger lurking outside our camp, want to put him back in chains and take him away from me.

Something is hiding under his skin, something that threatens to upend my entire life.

There’s a reason why all other monsters fear him.

The Rycke contains explicit sexual content, graphic depictions of torture and violence, and deals with PTSD. It is book three in the Monstrous series, a post-apocalyptic m/m fantasy series that features monsters and human men falling in love. It is best to listen to the series in order.

💕💕💕 sweetness overload 💕💕💕

The sweetness in this book is giving me a toothache seriously 💕. Another great book in this series. Another kudos to the narrator for another great reading. On to the next book.

I was an emotional mess!

If I wasn’t already a big Lily Mayne fan before, I became an even bigger one after The Rycke! I became such emotionally attached to these characters and was sobbing by the 3/4th mark of the book. I just genuinely enjoy Lily Mayne’s writing style so much and Michael Lesley is so fucking talented at creating depth for each character ♥️
