Publisher's summary

Revisit the Monstrous couples from the first seven novels of the series in this collection of sixteen short stories. Plus, meet a new Monstrous couple in a brand new novella, Ruke.

Catch up with the original monster-human couple, Danny and Wyn, in their Wastes-style adventures. Witness Moth and Wyn's blossoming and potentially concerning friendship. Find out all the new ways Edin has been frustrating Hunter (lovingly) since their story ended. And join Lor and Jugs in welcoming a new furry addition to their monster-world family.

Want to find out more about Wyn's ex Orlith? In this collection, you can take a peek at some very old letters between the two telyths, hear Orlith's historic (pre-Danny) attempts to seduce our favorite grumpy Soul Eater, and meet his uptight and righteous older sibling.

Ruke, A Monstrous Novella

In the brand new novella Ruke, human Jamie finally finds the one being he can trust after a lifetime of loneliness…

I was born the night monsters rose on earth. I'm a true child of the new world. I've never met a single other soul except for my dad, who decided to keep us out here in the Wastes when he escaped with me from the hospital that catastrophic night.

But now Dad's gone, and I'm alone. Completely alone. I don't trust humans—not raiders, not the military, not all the people living in those big dirty coastal cities—so I find the most remote spot I can to settle down and live out the rest of my life on my own, just like my dad always taught me was safest.

I'm not on my own out here. Something is here with me—someone is leaving me strange gifts by my campfire every night. And suddenly, I realize that I don't want to be alone anymore. I don't want them to go.

When he finally shows himself to me, I realize that my mystery companion out here isn't human. And that suits me just fine.

This is a collection of short stories set within the Monstrous universe, a post-apocalyptic m/m fantasy series that features monsters and human men falling in love. It is best to listen to the series in order. For mature listeners.

Queen Lily Mayne

I was so excited when this audiobook dropped unexpectedly. It was so good, like visiting old friends. I can’t wait for the next book of Cat and lyri to drop.

Left in bad takes

I love this series and the narrator is one of my favorites but who ever is in charge of the final take left in mistakes. At one point he reads Wyn’s line in Danny’s voice and a deep sigh after a flubbed sentence. It doesn’t happen often but it takes you out of the story.

loved it all except orlith.. that was disappointing.

I really loved this book until it got to orlith? really sad they didn't have one with seraph. love wyn & Danny the most which is why I probably really hated the part I dislike. this book is worth listening to. but If I ever relist to it like I do with the others I will be skipping over the part I dislike. to understand why I really hate it is because who wants to hear about wyn hooking up with a past lover even tho it was in the past? as much as you say it's the past it doesn't feel like it when you just got done listening to a part where danny & wyn are together. also us readers really get into the book & see them as really people almost while reading specially when we really like certain characters. why would we want to here about past hook ups? it's like why would Danny want to hear about wyns past which would mean why would we want to? I would of let it past if the author kept wyn denying him when he kept trying but the writer made him give into sleeping with him again. again the author had mentioned it was in the past but again it doesn't feel like it when we just listen to Danny. I just don't see why that part was put in here. if you really wanted orlith in it then it would of bee. Just fine when he tried the one time trying to get with wyn & when he was talking with his brother but to have them have a sex seen is messed up. I'm glad that part was a huge part of this book. I would of gave this a full 5 stars but that part really got to me. why do you want to hear about a loveable characters & the past hook up? it wasn't even necessary to put it into the book. there are so many other characters that could of taken that part to make the story longer I'd that was the case. sorry I kept going on about it but I get so into books it's like I feel bad for Danny. if the author wanted someone to have a past hook up it should of been someone else. specially not with a partner that was a virgin. I hated that on the wyn book. Danny only being with wyn & then to meet his hook up? why not make someone else with a hook up that both partners weren't a virgin like edin & his partner? I will relisten to this book but will skip over some parts....

It was alright.

The story itself was fantastic! But I can't be the only one to have heard the multiple mistakes. One of the chapters I swear I heard the narrator laughing out of character. That kinda throws you out of the moment of the story. 😕
It felt like to me, that the narrator didn't really take this book seriously. 😒

Wonderful stories

Lily Mayne and Michael Lesley did it again with this book. So many new, fun, and spicy stories about our favorite monsters. Plus a story of a NEW monster, that ties in seamlessly with a previous book. Lily’s world building is absolutely sublime.

Terrible reader.

The stories were poorly written. The most monstrous thing about these stories are the stories themselves.
