Publisher's Summary

Naughty girls need love too.

A beautiful monster, that’s what I am. My packaging is just a little nicer than the creatures you hear about dwelling in your closet. With three baddies for my mates, things are definitely getting interesting. I think I’ve even convinced them not to kill each other. 

But I have a new purpose, someone is hurting our kind. Stealing Charmed magic in arcane rituals that leave my friends drained and dead, and I won’t allow it. It’s time for them to find out why even the Monsters fear me. I am the bad guy.

Companion novel to Friends with the Monster, this is an RH story with adult themes not recommended for those under 18.

MC got annoying fast.

If you are walking down a street and you run into an a-hole, then you ran into an a-hole. If you are walking down the street and everyone is an a-hole, then maybe YOU are the a-hole.

I feel like that saying best applies to this book’s MC. She is obnoxiously belligerent in this second book. I’m only half-way through and I’m having a hard time getting through it because of how lame she is.

I LOVED the first book! Sure, she seemed to embody the toxic, patriarchal spirit of competition with anyone else who could compete with her sexually, but I was able to overlook it because she also had some really tender, vulnerable aspects to her. No one is perfect.

Except in this book, she is apparently perfect, because all of the male characters bend over backwards to defend and validate her childish antics.

She shows next to zero self awareness, is petty, jealous to the point of deep insecurity, and combative with SOMEONE in almost every scene, even when no one deserves it. Especially when no one deserves it. I really hope this is a character arc thing and not a permanent fixture of her personality, because, again I LOVED the first book. But if this is how it is going to be from here on out I’ll be done with this series.

I should be rooting for the MC but instead I find myself desperately wishing someone would slap some duct tape over her mouth or teach her some humility.

Gonna finish this book. I’ll change my review if anything changes, but, like I said. Half-way through. Not terribly optimistic. WHY, Albany Walker?? Is this the type of person you think is reading your work? It’s almost insulting to the reader. How am I supposed to relate to this?

what did I just waste my time and money on?!

the plot is basically girl has sex with three guys and has a baby. oh and there is something about a bad guy but it was just background noise.

Such a great conclusion!

Some Kind of Monster picks up where the first book left off seamlessly, with all the hijinks of the four characters intact. The search for the evil witch (with a great plot twist at the end), the friction between the men settling into more like sibling rivalry, Dami maturing and dropping some her her annoying habits all makes this a book I couldn’t put down. Then add the depth of Dami and her harem and friends becoming one integrated family and you have a true HEA all around.
The performance is spot on, with the voices and emotion of a on-stage play. I hop there will be more!

Series Finally

2nd book in the series:
Damiana will not take anyones' sh#t
Her journey of protecting her friends and all monsters comes to an end with a sweet gift finishing up the series.

Grim is still my favorite.
Gunner isn't brought up as much in this book.
Calix is still a sweet flirt
Sadly this series has ended, but I am looking forward to reading more from Albany Walker.

The book covers are amazing and Vanessa & Luca's narrations are perfect.
I read both through audible.

The plot was lacking.

There was so much potential for this book, but it lacked imagination. The sex scenes were super spicy, but there is no purpose for the characters. The heroine is all powerful but she does nothing with it. She is fated to three amazing supernatural lovers, but it doesnt make it clear why? She gets pregnant, but the baby doesnt seem to have a purpose either. Its just one big happy orgy.

Baby makes 5

This story was Wonderful I love the Narrators the characters Were full of humour romance lots of supernatural Beings Intriguing awesome!!!!😊

Ok

I enjoyed the series well enough. But there were a couple things that I found lacking if I’m being fully honest. Like during one of the arguments Danny tells the guys they got the short end of the stick because they only got her and she got all of them. And she goes off to be alone and that comment is never addressed. They never say she’s enough. It just felt like a loose end left hanging. And there were several moments like that for me. Otherwise I would have loved the story. Grimm was easily my favorite of the men…but I got the feeling he was Danny’s fave too. There just didn’t seem to be nearly as much connection with the other two guys. These were all small issues and didn’t make me dislike the story. It just made it less satisfying. The narrators do a great job with the audiobook.

Great

I enjoyed these books. The 2 book series was very well written. Very highly recommended. Would say more but I don't like spoilers so I won't give any.

4.5 stars

I’m kinda sad to have the story end. Overall the book was good. Felt rushed threw a few things and didn’t really clarify a few things but overall still good. Plenty of hot sexy moments:)

love it!

Great story. Great dark idea's. I even loved the side characters. Nice flowing ending wasnt disappointed. loved the narrorators.
They did amazing. A story to keep you up late at night wanting more. A sexy dark adventure!!!

Another great story

What another great story, I love how Vanessa Moyen and Lucas Webley brought the characters to life and I love how the male characters are actually read by Lucas with his sexy voice that you'll just love and I think they both did a great job. I loved everyminute with Dami and her men and there antics through out the story but also the love they have for Dami as they go searching after the witch who has been killing charmed one's but also loved not knowing what would happen right up until the end and I'm also a little sad that it's over as I loved it so much.

Great Listen

Brilliant story loved the ending, really like both the male and female narrators. Aisin is my favourite
