Moth

Monstrous, Book 5

De: Lily Mayne

Narrado por: Michael Lesley

When I—along with my best friend and his big purple monster boyfriend—come across a fortress-like raider camp while journeying across the monster-infested Wastes, we stop to deliver a message.

Somehow, that simple pit stop turns into a seemingly impossible quest to get this camp's missing leader out of the prison where he's being held and forced to fight monsters and other humans. I know exactly where it is because I've been there.

Problem is, I'm making this journey with the prickliest and most arrogant guy I've ever met, who seems to hate me on sight. Oh, and he's also half-monster. So there's that. And he's in love with a raider who definitely does not love him back, and he seems determined to take it out on me. So there's also that.

I'm not going to rise to his childish insults and barbed words. I'm not. I'm also going to try very hard to ignore how mind-numbingly beautiful he is, even when he's scowling at me.

The longer we're out here together, the more I learn about my prickly half-monster companion Moth. I realize there's a reason he's so closed off and angry. There's a reason he hates everyone.

There are secrets he's been keeping, and when I find out what they are, I want to do everything in my power to help him—even though he's telling me he can't be helped.

Moth is book five of 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.

Lily Mayne and Michael Leslie at their finest

This story is part of a series. Definitely start with soul eater. I have read each of the books twice and listened to them all on audio so far.

Michael Leslie is such a talented narrator. His acting and voice abilities are some of the best in the audiobook world.

im shaking the bars of my enclosure (positive)

this is my favorite book of the series. getting to see Moth take revenge on his abuser, watching him and Charlie fall so hard for each other, not to mention their adorable banter. everything just clicks into place so perfectly, from the pacing to the POV switches. Michael Lesley also did phenomenally with the voices (even if Moth sounds uncannily like Nicholas Cage, which was very jarring at first) and i can’t sing his praises enough for bringing my favorite book series to life. <3

Best one yet!

I knew we would love this book! But it was so much better than we expected! We cracked up multiple times! It was so nice seeing everyone together again!

My favorite in the series so far!! - easy 5 stars

Solid 5 stars in my eyes. This has been the surprise series for me. Never would I have predicted my love for this series. I picked book 1 to his a challenge prompt. And I have devoured each audiobook as they are released. This is hands down my favorite in the series so far. I felt this one. I got nervous in this one. I cried FFS. In a monster book! I didn't think Danny & Wyn would be dethroned, but move over beastie, I have a new favorite!!

I saw a comment that rings so true for me. The world building is simple, but so rich and just so wonderfully done.

And, I will admit, I didn't like the voice for Moth early in the book. But, in short order, I settled into it and got used to it. Then I realized it actually fit the character so well. By the end of the book, I LOVED the voice created for Moth. And Charlie - both voice & character? *chef's kiss*

Ok... I'm done fan-girling for now.

Anyone else think Moth’s voice sounds like Nic Cage?

Love the book as always, but I truly think Moth’s POV and voice sounds like Nic Cage … and Gloam sounds like Sean Connery.
