Publisher's summary

The picturesque town of North Falls is as beautiful as it is deadly.

When Nadia is called to help deliver a human woman's little elven babies, she knows she can't say no. After all, she's masquerading as a fertility witch since blood witches were hunted out of existence several generations ago.

But North Falls isn't like any other sanctuary city Nadia has been to, and the differences are enough to make her blood boil.

Haven is run by decent monsters, but a corrupt council with an agenda of their own leads North Falls. The ward around their town is failing and they aren't above compelling the witch to their bidding.

Everything will have to fall into place for her to survive the trip. Unfortunately for Nadia, her luck has never been all that great. Add in a rogue alpha wolf, a council-appointed vampire guard who would be more accurately described as a spy, and a couple of demons from her past, and it looks like she might just have a fighting chance.

Well, until the council ups the ante, that is. Will her newfound protectors be enough to keep her alive? Or will they run when they learn her secrets?

This book is set in the A Monstrous World series. It's an interconnected standalone that features a new female main character. It was designed so that you can jump in here if you prefer, but you'll likely get more enjoyment listening in order. It's Nadia's complete romance. No cliffhanger!

“Gods, Nadia. I want to devour you. Eat you alive. Claim you as mine.”

📚 Book Review 📚
Jillian West sure knows how to deliver a light-hearted, spicy monster romance! I love knowing that going in, it will be low on angst and high on smut! Such an easy read.

There is excellent world-building and character development for all of Nadia’s mates. I’m always a fan of mixed species packs. She acquires a vampire, a wolf shifter, and two demons to lavish her with love.

I enjoyed cameos of my favorite characters from the earlier two books. Their stories are tightly intertwined, so I recommend reading them in publication order for the best experience.

This is fast burn with copious amounts of MF and MFM+ scenes. There is some primal chasing, claiming bites, hole fillings, knots, and even a heat scene. It wouldn’t be a monster romance without at least one of the males having a breeding kink – we get all four wanting to breed their mate.

I highly recommend this series of interconnected standalones. I hope Jillian continues to add stories to this world.

I do enjoy this series. I like the storyline and that it’s multiple pov. Duet narration(with the perfect voices)really gets you into the story. I wish author would start the next generation books like alluding to in the epilogue of this book ;) hint hint lol A+ work author :)
I hope someday to see the script flipped with a fmc who’s an alpha and maybe a male omega with some yummy male sub female dom scenes…hey a girl can wish lol. 10/10 recommend.

No Brainerd 5 star

Monsters Den has always been an all time favorite of mine. Of course, everything Jillian writes I'm absolutely obsessed with. There's nothing to not love about the book or audio. The narrators are phenomenal. The accents are on point. There's so much enthusiasm to the reading that the story just pops. Jillian is always a one click, always heck yes. Read/listen to the book. You won't be sorry.
