About this book
Freydis has spent her entire life navigating the cruelty of men, learning the hard way that trust is a luxury she cannot afford. Her world is defined by survival and cynicism, leaving no room for fairytales or the supposed magic of fated mates. That is, until she is snatched from the shadows by Marrex, a terrifyingly beautiful creature with dark wings, piercing eyes, and an intensity that threatens to consume her.
In this gripping installment of the Monsters and Beauties series, Jenika Snow masterfully explores the intersection of fear and desire. Marrex is no ordinary beast; he is a possessive, winged protector who claims Freydis as his own with a fierce, unwavering devotion. As they navigate their forbidden love, the story unfolds as a slow-burn romance that pushes the boundaries between monster and human.
What makes this paranormal romance truly stand out is the tender vulnerability hidden beneath the creature's dangerous exterior. The undeniable connection between them grows into something far deeper than a simple abduction. If you are looking for a story where a mighty, fanged monster meets his match in a resilient human woman, this tale of fated passion and unexpected salvation is your next must-read obsession.

I love this series and the monsters and their beauties. I do have to say that in my head, Marrex looks like a human looking gargoyle with huge bat like wings, eyes that glow, and horns. I loved how caring he was to Freydis and protective. I mean, he’s the total package, he’s hunts for food, has a huge dong, wings, loves her, has a succa above his dong, he cooks for her, and takes care of her. The epilogue was so adorable, I loved it. I can’t wait for the next book. )

Snow’s most recent book in this series follows Freydis and Marrex (yes, the first monster character in this series to have an actual name besides being called whatever creature they are). Though Marrex’s species is never specified, my guess is that he is a dragon hybrid due to physical characteristics; he is large, has wings, and horns just to name a few things. Nevertheless, this story was really sweet! Not only was it the first to give its creature his own unique name but also had the...

I enjoyed reading this book about Freydis (human woman) and Marrex (some type of flying monster). The main characters were likeable. Marrex was described pretty well in the story but I don't think the kind of monster he was was ever mentioned. I also couldn't figure out about what time period this took place in. They met when Freydis was running from humans who raided villages to take women and men to enslave them. She ran into the forest where she was almost caught and was stabbed in her side....
