The Company of Fiends Tempting Monsters

Kathryn Moon — 2022

After eight years on the stage with The Company of Fiends, the glow of the spotlight is starting to wear thin for Hazel Nix. The theater is perfect for a girl like her—one with a secret she keeps even from her more monstrous peers—but playing pretend is only exciting for so long. After so many lovers, on stage and otherwise, Hazel has yet to make a lasting connection with anyone and considers taking her last bow at the company. Just as Hazel encounters a new and intriguing patron, disaster strikes the theater. Girls are going missing and suspiciously bad luck plagues the stage. Between ex-lovers, current bed partners, and new faces at the theater, Hazel’s heart is tangled more than ever and she finds it increasingly impossible to draw herself away from the life she’s known for so long. It is time to make a choice. Start fresh before she’s drawn into the mess, or take a stand and fight for the family she’s found in the strangest of places. Tempting Monsters stories include: A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor The Company of Fiends Sanctuary with Kings

sure!

actually this is incredibly well written, but about 100 pages could probably have been cut to keep the story flowing well.

I really loved the beginning of this book and flew through the first half, but, I kinda got stalled from the halfway point on. I am not saying it was a struggle to finish it but I felt like maybe it didn't need to be so long. I know there is a point to the filler stuff, and we got to see the relationships between the monsters and the girls but I just wanted a bit more suspense and action. I mean... you get plenty of actions *wink wink* lol but actual action. Things I loved about this book. There is always this air of mystery around who is hurting/murdering the girls who perform at the theater. Who doesn't love a good murder mystery sprinkled into all those naughty parts? I really enjoyed the theme of love and acceptance no matter what you are, who you are, or what you look like. I think Hazel was a bit too much like Esther but I see why she would have to be to make the story work. There were things I could have done without but for the most part, I enjoyed the book. It was a typical naughty Kathryn book :) If you like reverse harem, monster romances with lots of spice this is for you.

I wanted to love this so much. Hazel Nix is a used and slightly jaded woman at the beginning of this book who enjoys her sexual work at the Company of Fiends, but doesn't believe in love or lasting relationships. This setup just doesn't do it for me, and I feel like from what I remember of the first book I thought this book would be slightly different. Honestly, I struggled to get through this book which is very disappointing considering how much I loved the first book. Hunter and Ronan are my favorites from this story, and I enjoyed the plot and steamy scenes. There is nothing bad about this book. It just didn't suit my tastes. Fully recommend the series still.
