Publisher's summary

Declan

It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me? Between my old organization trying to pull me in and Lake proving that things aren’t quite what they seem, I’m dragged back into this world of fighting the things that humans fear the most.

Lake

The human is exquisite. The first moment he told me he was going to hunt me down, I felt my heart burst. He’s beautiful, sassy, angry, and going to be mine (even if he thinks he can refuse my charms). But what Declan doesn’t know about me is that there’s a reason I’m hiding as a human among monster hunters. And while he definitely doesn’t know why, he’s willing to work with me because the people around us strangely want Declan and me dead at the end of this (I mean, who would want to kill us? We’re amazing).

But honestly…what’s more fun than dragging a hunter off to the dark side?

Warning: This is a chaotic monster and a chaotic human. Stuff happens. People die (but they were bad, so it doesn’t matter, right?) and there’s plenty of humor alongside a budding romance.

DNF

I can't do it.

I simply can not listen to another combo by this author and narrator. All these stories are sounding the exact same.
I made it to chapter 3.

Snarky character. Grumpy character. Save the world.

It's been months since I've listened to anything by this combo, but it didn't matter, I fall right into all her other characters and stories.
Please pick another storyline and narrator.

Maybe at some point in the future, I'll try again, but for now, this is being archived.

As far as Michael, the narration was great, and his voices as always were very clever and perfect.

Didn't Care for It

for Goodness sake , Alice just keeps taking same two characters and placing them in new environments. A perky, love deprived, clever , hyper man/boy and a big, grumpy, love starved, impatient hero who needs rescued.

and this one .. the "world building" is illogical - or at least there is insufficient information provided.

I'll stick to the series I like but I will not be trying any of the new ones. Even when I have liked the first book- the second is just full of side character antics .

This review is for Monstrous Intent : Its ok. I did not hate it - but I found it difficult to focus or engage. The narrator is amazing,

Monster indeed...

Usually, I listen to Michael Ferraiuolo reading to me an Alice Winters book immediately and love every minute of it. For this one, I listened for three hours, set it aside, and forgot to go back to it.

This is a beyond slow burn, slow burn. I'm glad I came back to it as once I hit 60% the story picked up and got better.

Anyways, in this new series we have Lake (Leland) a true monster who hates being one and Declan (Jackson) who was a hunter who killed monsters but retired to teach kids

I just finished rereading the first assassin's book so when I was reading this one, the characters really stood out.

The world was unique but I would have loved to know more about it. Monsters that attack and kill humans and humans getting used to these attacks is very interesting.

These two don't actually hook up until near the end but I loved the humor between them.

But the true star of the book was Sir Reginald. Please let me find out that it's not just a beta fish.

Best of Alice’s Gruff-Top/Funny-Bottom Trope!

I am a huge fan of Alice Winters characters like Leland and Jackson, Finn and Marcus, and Felix and Lane, but I think this one was my absolute fav of the pairing so far! They gruff but sweet top with the funny and sexy-cute bottom are a couple I adore in ANY form, but this one was like having Leland with Marcus (from the Hitman’s Guide and Vampire RC series), and it was fantastic! The story was also very original, and I adored the side characters.

Great fun

Very enjoyable book with fun characters. Sir Reginald FTW! There are several memorable scenes that will definitely stay with me lol. I read the ebook first, but it's one of those books that is even better in audio.

Michael Ferraiuolo uses the same voice for Lake as he does for Leland in the Hitman's guide and for other characters in various books as well. Could try to mix it up on occassion.

Cute love story

Not the best of this authors work but always worth the read. Michael is always wonderful. I feel this story didn’t have as deep or as wide a world to fall into but it was a good listen. Alice doesn’t disappoint

Intriguing new series!

I love almost anything Alice Winters puts out, but this is an intriguing new series with a very interesting premise! Granted, the MCs are relatively similar to those in the Assassin’s Guide series, but I always enjoyed that series a lot. I would love to see Alice branch out and write characters that differ a little more, to be honest. However, this book never failed to entertain. There are some plot points that need more explanation, but perhaps she will focus on those in the next book(s). Thank you for this book, Alice! I’m very excited to see these characters return for more and to learn more about their world!

Amazing

This was such a fun listen and the book was a great read too. I love the way it was narrated as well. Lake is so cute but I love Sai too. I think I’m soaking it wrong… Anyway I loved the book and the audio 😊
