Bound and Unbound: A paranormal novella duology
Ali Hazelwood
Nightshades: A Dark Monster Romance (The Monster Stalker Series Book 4)
by January Rayne
About this book
He is the nightmare that breathes, a weaponized monster born from the horrors of a lab experiment. With a thirst for blood and a lethal capacity for cruelty, he has shed his humanity to embrace the apex predator within. He does not seek redemption; he seeks control. And his sights are set squarely on Detective Lula Sanchez.
Lula is a woman dedicated to hunting the monsters that lurk in the shadows, but she has no idea that the most dangerous one of all is watching her every move. This dark romance pushes the boundaries of urban fantasy, weaving a twisted tale of obsession where the hunter becomes the prey. He is determined to isolate her from the world, claiming her fears, her thrills, and her very soul as his own.
For fans of high-stakes paranormal romance, this installment of The Monster Stalker series delivers an intense, unhinged experience that explores the thin line between terror and desire. Prepare for a visceral journey where the lines between protector and captor blur into something entirely consuming. If you crave a dark, high-heat vampire-adjacent read that refuses to hold back, step into his darkness—just be sure to check the trigger warnings first.

⭐⭐⭐⭐.25 / 5 Heat level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ / 5 (4 for content, maybe 3 peppers for frequency) I feel a little speechless after reading this. January Rayne writes some of the most creatively obscure characters that are refreshing in their individuality. Every time I think we have the most morally black monsters, January goes and writes a new book that dazzles me with an MMC even morally darker than before. Have you ever been sort of horrified and intrigued at the same time? No? Well that describes my...

Romance: 🖤💙❤️💜 Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Pairing: MF (Monster/Human) Format: Ebook January Rayne did it again with this one and it’s definitely darker so check those trigger warnings. I love unhinged monsters (the best kind) with huge peens (hello Duskwalker Brides) but WOW 🤣 this one was a unique one for sure and not sure what it says about me that I love Shade. Shade is our monstrous MMC who is part rhino, nightmare, nightshade (the plant), vampire and anglerfish (take a guess how that's...

Literally out of all of January Rayne's monster stalker books this one has been the most f***ed up in my opinion ☠️. The author even states before each read that she let her imagination run wild with this series so each monster made by experiments is a combination of multiple monster/animal DNAs and for this one we got Shade who is a Rhino, Nightmare, Vampire, Anglerfish & Nightshade ✨ And he is a straight savage, so yes this book is very bloody Gore filled and the few smut scenes are just as...

Its ok, It was way more on the shock factor. I do love me some extra dark romances and monsters! This felt a little rushed for me and could have been longer with more added. It was a nice quick read, I will finish the others as well at some point (I know i started with book 4 but I needed to know about the light on the um........downstairs) ) 2 people found this helpful
