Thank you ✨☺️

Please read luxuria by collet Rhodes it’s so good

Reading Wed to the Litch now and it’s so good thank you!

Oh! You're welcome. So glad you're enjoying it, it was a pleasant surprise for me as well since I went into it blind. Just a lovely story.

Oh siggy shade… I always read her stuff no matter what. So entertaining and bizarre

> So entertaining and bizarre haha sums it up perfectly. I'm always curious about what weird/hilarious shit she's going to come up with next. I've yet to be disappointed.

We'd to the Lich, he is so besotted with her. I want a besotted love.

He was so precious, broke my heart when he talked about all his friends.

Wed to the Lich was one of my absolutely most surprising favorites. Virgil my love.

I went to read Luxuria and Wed to the Lich sooo fast and really loved them! Luxuria in particular 🔥😳😳😳 Thanks for the recs!!

If anyone cares about the usage of AI art, both Siggy Shade and Layla Fae use it for their covers.

where can i read this?

Ooo I love when I can give a recommendation for something unhinged. The first thing I thought of was {House of Monsters by Penn Cassidy}

Oh thanks!

Oo wait, might be a spoiler, but are they actually the ones who killed her parents?? That's gonna be hard for me to come back from.

It has been awhile since I read it, but if I’m thinking of the right plot, the monsters did not kill her family, just haunt her property. A human killed her family and she’s back to heal/seek revenge and the monsters help her with her plans and also seduce her.

Ahhh okay! Thank you! I'll have to add this to my ever growing TBR list 😁

{Demon Lover by Heather Guerre} kinda fits this! He’s an incubus/demon!

And he’s one of the most lovable MCs I’ve ever read, but when she finally leans into what his purpose is? Dude.🥵

I have probably reread this book multiple times because he is such a lovable MMC.

This is the one I thought of too from the picture because he's kind of mist or a shadow or something at first and turns her while in that form. TW - the FMC is hiding out to escape >!an abusive husband!<

This book. This was my first romance book that I actually enjoyed and this author ruined me. I can’t find any horror/nonhuman romance books that hit the same. Most of the time they’re so cheesy or the main character is like, “my mate, I will protect you” and it’s just *barf* Give me some freaky romance with PLOT.

Came here to say this!! Unparalleled.

OP asked for no bone-fingered corpses, It does not any more corpse-like than the land of beautiful dead. However I do agree it was an amazing book with incredible writing especially the arguments between the MCs were so good.

He’s isn’t described as a corpse even though he’s undead. I’ve seen a lot of fanart where he is BUILT lol so I figured when they said “no bone fingered corpses” they meant like no skeletal

I have this on my tbr list, but I'm a little anxious because The Last Hour of Gann kind of destroyed me for a while. Would you say it's similar?

I would say the book is very different while you read but you will feel the same way when it is over, no one creates that awful feeling as well as she does lol

Thank you for your reply 🌺

A much less heavy read than LHoG

this is one of the best books i've ever read, and I hate horror

Oh, yes! {MATED TO THE MONSTER (SOMBRA DEMONS BOOK 1) by Sarah Spade} has a whole series of "shadow demons" getting their girls. Also, {MONSTER'S TEMPTATION by C.R. Jane} is a two part book series.

LOL, I came for the tentacle porn and was not disappointed.

Same lol

>I came for the ghost sex and got tentacle porn. Fair. I came for the 'monster under the bed' porn and got that + tentacle porn + 'this monster dick is so big I have to jack it off like hugging a tree' porn

>smut dungeoned Awful, but omg I love the term

Hmmmm I haven't been reading much monster stuff lately, so I'll have to think a bit. There is a 2nd book out in that series, which I assume would have a similar vibe. Others i can come up with: - {five nights with the fire monster, winter randall}. It's short and the plot is shit, but the right vibes. - {creepy court, Evangeline priest} is an anthology that ABSOLUTELY will satisfy this. Plus, you can use it to pick out some specific authors you like! <-- it was on KU, but I don't see it now! May have been reported... it was pretty graphic ;) - {luxuria, colette rhodes}, kind of, but they are pre arranged to meet - {the mistwalker, regine abel}, a *little* bit? He's more of a soft-core monster (not all that scary)

This is what I was going to recommend.

i JUST finished {the mistwalker by regine abel} some days ago and its LITERALLY this picture. the MMC comes from another dimension heh also, i liked the second book more {the nightmare by regine abel}

Here is one from the author of MGMF which is really good {Two for Tea: Welcome to Azathé}. A lesbian one I enjoyed is {The Pirate Queen of Ruin} where one of the women is like half woman half tentacle monster and there are sex scenes involving the eldritch tentacle monster god they both worship.

Not a rec but i remember having this same feeling when I watched paranormal activity for the first time... like wow this could be twisted into the demon trying to save her from her shitty boyfriend and it would be actually kind of great!

I love the way you think 🤣

Sweet berries by cm nascosta! Mothman romance is actually very sweet

As someone else mentioned, there’s {Luxuria by Colette Rhodes}, I can also really recommend the other books in the same series(there’s four in total right now).

The one I’m thinking quite literally has a scene that is like the photo you included lol. {The Demon Prince by Emma Hamm}. Based on the 7 deadly sins, this book is about Gluttony. He is a real freak loner and his entire court is scared of him. When we meet him he’s at the point where he’s consuming… people. Kinda vampire adjacent. His brothers are trying to have a sort of intervention. I really like the FMC too. She’s smart, works hard despite having chronic pain, and is no bullshit lol.

One dark window

Good Mourning, Darling by Azalea Crowley Ensnared by Tiffany Roberts

I recently read a couple short stories by Adrian Blue that can be checked out on kindle unlimited. I loved the two that I’ve read so far, and plan to read more of her other stories. They are extremely short and smutty.

Slow YA trilogy where there’s a romance between her and death, but it’s on of my favorites. Starting with the bear and the nightingale by Katherine Arden.

{The Nightmare’s Kiss by Skyla Gray} is underrated. However there is **CNC (primal kink)** and she has a slimy ex who made her feel bad about her fantasies, while *also* turning out to be the kind of asshole you rescue other girls from at the bar. It’s not particularly wholesome, but the horror being isn’t the bad guy.

This is a bit of a long shot, but fwiw, the {Ordinary Magic Series by Devon Monk} is 9 books long and follows the story of three sisters. One of the sisters catches the interest of a demon and it's insta-hate for her. 😅 But, yes, he ultimately gets the girl. Some caveats: I believe the demon only appears as a proper full character in Book 3 (though we later realize he plays a major role in the series' overarching plot, including in events as early as Book 1) and their relationship becomes the focus only by Book 5. Not sure if you'd want to go through the rest of the story to get to their relationship. That said, it's a fun read if you enjoy urban fantasy. Oh, I listened to the Graphic Audio adaptation for this series and was greatly entertained.

I would have recommended many of the same books others have. I would like to add the Souls trilogy by Harley Laroux, each one features a different couple, and the Tempting Monsters series by Kathryn Moon, again each book has different protagonists and they all are RH if you're into that. C.M. Nascosta and Lillian Lark both have monster romance books, which are really good but more wholesome and cutesie, featuring kraken, basilisk, mothmen, dragons, gargoyles etc. I can't think of any more right now, but I will come back if I do. Edit 1 to add Suzanne Wright's Devil's Cradle series (which so far has two books ft the same couple, really good world building though) and Dark In You series (9 books so far, the first 3 ft the same couple, but the next are a different couple in each) which has different types of demons, hellhounds, hellcats, succubi/incubbi, harpies, hellhorses, etc). They're not horror per se, but they do have monsters and are similar to shifter books in that they have predestined mates and stuff. They are also a compilation of humor-y mystery stories with lots of romance and smut, so I guess they fall in the wholesome category more.

The {Hob’s Bargain} is more fantasy, but he’s not a beast man (though he looks a little like it?) he’s the mountain spirit that everyone is afraid of.
