Flirting with Monsters Series by Eva Chase - Starting November 9th 2020

[Felicia]

One sassy pyromaniac thief, three sexy-as-sin monsters, and a paranormal conspiracy of epic proportions.

It was an ordinary job. Another night, another asshole collector of the supernatural. I free some poor little beasties from their cages, pocket a few trinkets to pay my bills, and burn the place down on my way out. Just call me the Robin Hood of monster emancipation.

I didn’t count on three manly monsters following me home like lost puppies. Stunningly hot lost puppies, but still. Now I’ve got a seductively cheeky incubus, a sweetly enthusiastic demon, and a grimly stoic angel camped out in my kitchen. They’re determined to repay me for my help, and they won’t get out of my apartment until they’re satisfied we’re even.

To be fair, they’ve got no place else to go. A covert band of hunters captured their boss, and the trail is ice-cold. I’ll lend a hand if it means I can send them packing… and when it looks like we’re up against the same creeps who murdered the person I loved most, you’d better believe I’m all in.

Track down the baddies.
Steal back the boss.
Don’t get killed along the way.
Oh, and maybe hook up with a monstrous hottie or two.
Piece of cake.

I’m so going to regret this.

*Shadow Thief is the first book in a new reverse harem urban fantasy series. If you love kickass heroines with sass to spare, drool-worthy monsters with their own sense of morality, and steamy romances where there'll be no choosing required, dive in now!*

Shadow thief

21%(view spoiler)[im definitely super into this. It’s not something I’ve read about before. So I’m excited. Also, that little bit of smut leaves me to believe this is going to be smut-mazing. 😍😍 (hide spoiler)]

50%(view spoiler)[well well. That smut was so hot. But of course she freaks out. Why would he lie? They’ve literally been saving her life since she saved them and she think he’d lie to her about reading her thoughts? He didn’t even have to tell her to begin with. Stupid girl. 🙄

This story line is intriguing to me. But I wish they’d find something about this group rather than having all leads to cold. (hide spoiler)]

67%(view spoiler)[Snap is so pure. Gosh. I just love him. He’s so innocent and adorable. (hide spoiler)]

78%(view spoiler)[what a dumb ass. Now the freaking lead they had that I was hoping for is gone. Wtf. I just want this story to progress. (hide spoiler)]

Finished(view spoiler)[I’m actually kinda glad that didn’t end on a massive cliffhanger. Because Assassins Creed came out today and that definitely will be holding my attention for some time. Lol.

This is a pretty good story so far. I wish we knew more about this threat to everyone. But time will tell I suppose. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Man, I just need a week off work so I can get to all my buddy reads

[Felicia]

Lmao. I will be falling behind shortly. Assassin's Creed comes out today. And I'm stoked. Lol. I can't wait to get out of work to go home and play. Lol.

I've never played that but it sounds fun!

[Felicia]

I love it!

[Deanie]

Trying to BR post as I go along, to make things easier at the end... I really liked Eva Chase's The Dragon Shifter's Mates series, and I loved (loved, loved, loved) her Moriarty's Men take on Sherlock Holmes. I'm excited about this one. She's written some very good reverse harem fantasy romances.

25% (view spoiler)[ Poor Sorcha. Though based on what evidence Snap got off the letter from her parents, I actually wonder if she's not entirely human. Still, she maybe has a lead on who killed her adoptive mom, and she's had smoking hot sex with an incubus. Not a bad start overall. (hide spoiler)]

[Deanie]

50% (view spoiler)[ Well, it looks like Sorsha's life is going to get worse before it gets better. At least she didn't lose everything in the fire... and I want to know who those creepy guys are who are after her. (hide spoiler)]

75% (view spoiler)[ Sorsha and Snap are adorable together. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

I'm going to read this over the weekend (hopefully) lol

[Deanie]

100% (view spoiler)[ It's an interesting end, and I'm curious to see how Omen will mix into the group. I like that it's a definite end to this part of the story (rescuing Omen), even if it leaves everything else up in the air for the rest of the series. On to book 2. (hide spoiler)]

[Deanie]

16% (view spoiler)[ Honestly, if I were Sorsha, I'd be telling Omen to go screw himself. She risked her life to rescue him and his team, and he's making her prove herself? I know she likes the other guys, but this is getting ridiculous. (hide spoiler)]

40% (view spoiler)[ Nice to know that even the genocide of their kind isn't good enough to get some people off their butts. Though that's probably what things would be like if the scenario in the book played out in real life. (hide spoiler)]

73% (view spoiler)[ Sorsha isn't entirely human. I called it. But how does the evil organization keep finding Sorsha and her men? I think that someone in the Fund group is working with the bad guys. Maybe Sorsha's ex... (hide spoiler)]

100% (view spoiler)[ So, Sorsha is supernatural and her ex is working with the enemy. This book may be somewhat predictable, but it's still fun. Poor Snap. I hope they get him back. (hide spoiler)]

[Deanie]

25% (view spoiler)[ Snap is safe! Yay. But he has amnesia, Sorsha's powers are out of control and hurting her, and the Company of Light is actually a multinational conglomerate of evil. Definitely the dark before the dawn. (hide spoiler)]

50% (view spoiler)[ Snap's memory is back and he and Sorsha have made up! And Sorsha knows her dad's first name... if he were human, could her mom have been Shadowkind? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

25% (view spoiler)[ I'm liking this so far. It's fast paced and I'm interested in these shadow creatures. And we already had a sexy scene ;) (hide spoiler)]

Ooh yes!

[Aly]

50% (view spoiler)[ I'm sad she lost everything in the fire, but how sweet of Thorn to grab the letter from her parents (hide spoiler)]
77% (view spoiler)[ I had been thinking Vivi was sketchy, at least we know it was just because she was concerned. And we got a sexy scene with Snap! (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Ooh they rescued Omen! And Thorn is an angel which is crazy. I'm looking forward to the next book (hide spoiler)]

Haha your updates. I love Snap and he needs to be protected. I thought the ending was good too

Yes, having it not end on a cliffhanger was good

[Felicia]

2nd book
15%(view spoiler)[oh gosh! The dick bag is a hell hound? 🤔🤔🤔

I get that like he doesn’t trust her or whatever. But I’m over this shit he’s putting her through. It’s getting tedious now. (hide spoiler)]

38%(view spoiler)[oh gosh. Alright. This is starting to bore me. And annoy me all at the same time. Sorsha is fucking 27 years old for Christ’s sake! She acts like a child way too goddamn often.

I get that she probably doesn’t want to talk about this fire stuff with Omen. But seriously. To just dismiss it and not even think about it? Wtf.

Also, this is supposed to be an RH. I understand the guys can get jealous. But to make the fucking INCUBUS the jealous one?! Seriously. 🙄🙄

almost over this story. It needs to redeem itself and soon before I really give up on it. (hide spoiler)]

63%(view spoiler)[well fuck a duck. That was hot as shit. I seriously can’t get over how precious Snap is. And I really want Ruse to get over his issues.

The story is progressing better at this moment in the book than it was my last spoiler tag. Let’s keep it going. (hide spoiler)]

Finished(view spoiler)[so this ended pretty good. That was a hell of an ending. Bringing down the whole Company in their city. Off to
Chicago but where will they find more allies?

Also, the sex between her and Thorn! Yum. 🤤🤤 (hide spoiler)]

[Felicia]

3rd book
20%(view spoiler)[oh my gosh! My poor sweet little cinnamon roll! What have they done to him to forget Sorsha and the guys?! Wah! That makes me so sad. He’s so sweet and loving. 😭😭 (hide spoiler)]

50%(view spoiler)[YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY. He’s back. I’m so happy! He’s so adorable. Ugh. And I fucking LOVE rough Snap. 😍😍😍 (hide spoiler)]

70%(view spoiler)[ I’m drooling. Yep. It’s happening. 🤤🤤🤤 (hide spoiler)]

Finished(view spoiler)[well shit. That ending was a mess! I’m so excited to find out what’s going to happen!

I was also going to table flip my desk at work when I thought it was seriously going to be that easy to take down the company of light. Lol. I’m happy it wasn’t. I’m also happy that this whole company of light thing is getting a revamp because it was getting tedious. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

I'm going to try to read the second book over the weekend

[Felicia]

Okay! I'm already almost halfway through the last book. Lol. It's SO SLOW at work today.

[Aly]

I'm the opposite. We've been in a virtual conference the last 3 days and it's taking up all my time

[Felicia]

Oh man, that's the worst. Lol.

[Aly]

It's finally over so I'm back to it now

[Felicia]

YAY! Reading is always better than work. Lol.

[Felicia]

4th book
29%(view spoiler)[god damn. Omen and Sorsha together is so damn explosive! That tease about chaining her up better not just be a tease!! I’m not kidding. Lol. And! I want a goddamn group orgi by the end of this shit!

I’m obviously glad he came to his senses. And now they’re back to taking on the Company. Which is kind of annoying. But not at the same time because now they have Tempest to worry about as well. (hide spoiler)]

50%(view spoiler)[I’m so sick of the hero’s in this book taking beating after beating. They literally have NEVER had a one up. That has been the downfall of this series. It doesn’t make it interesting. It makes me mad that after constantly being a step behind they’re all of a sudden going to defeat the bad guys? God. Will this book just end already. (hide spoiler)]

75%(view spoiler)[let me first say that the five sum was totally lack luster. Why in the actual hell dis she have them do it in the goddamn ocean. Al I could think about was how difficult it must’ve been to float there all tangled together. Like shit.

Now, I’m so over this. To the point where I’m skimming and skipping whole paragraphs at a time. Man this series has just done nothing but disappoint. 🙄 (hide spoiler)]

Finished(view spoiler)[that was a better ending than I thought we’d get. So kudos to her. But I’m still happy it’s over. It’s been a long time coming. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

25% (view spoiler)[ Omen is a dick, but I think Sorsha will win him over soon. I like that she's winning all his challenges (hide spoiler)]

[Deanie]

74% (view spoiler)[ Uh-oh. Is Omen's disappearance a portent of bad things to come? He seemed so dedicated to the cause that this absence is definitely worrisome. (hide spoiler)]

100% (view spoiler)[Sorsha is Ruby? And Omen has to take her to her death? I know he's been an ass towards her, but could he give her to beings who want to kill her? Now this is a cliffhanger. (hide spoiler)]

[Deanie]

25% (view spoiler)[ I knew their plan wasn't going to work with 75% of the book left to go. Still, Tempest is really evil. Deserves the label 'monster.' (hide spoiler)]

51% (view spoiler)[ How did these 'highest' get to be so powerful and why are they such idiots? Hopefully they'll see the truth soon. (hide spoiler)]

73% (view spoiler)[Holy crap. Now Sorsha's captured? What are they going to do to her? (hide spoiler)]

100% (view spoiler)[ Well, that was a satisfying conclusion. I love that the author had all of the Shadowkind that Sorsha saved come to her defense. She really did a lot to help, even before discovering she was part shadowkind herself. This was a great series. I really need to read more Eva Chase books. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

50% (view spoiler)[ I'm not liking this as much as the first book. The plot isn't as exciting to me. I wonder about Sorsha but we haven't learned much yet (hide spoiler)]
75% (view spoiler)[ Cool to finally see what Snap can do. I wish Omen wasn't such a dick. Leland can get fucked (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ I am interested in whether Snap is okay and more about what Sorsha is, but I'll be taking my time before I start the third book (hide spoiler)]

38%oh gosh. Alr..."

I agree with all these comments!

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

26% (view spoiler)[Pickle is by far the best pet ever and I’m kinda hoping the heroine doesn’t let me down. Anyone who rescues and keeps a dragon as a pet is awesome in my book lol (hide spoiler)]
63% (view spoiler)[Omg her place (hide spoiler)]
83% (view spoiler)[Oh no where are the guys? Aren’t they supposed to be on lookout ready to help lol but omg she gets balls from the ball pit and a toy nerf gun, I can’t 😂😂😂😂 (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[This was an interesting read, I’m curious what’s next. Pickle is by far my favorite. Can’t wait to see how long before she destroys the innocence of each guy (hide spoiler)]

Awh love Pickle!

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

27% (view spoiler)[I’m really skeptical if she can trust these people in the Fund. Well her ex definitely not but I have a feeling they either can’t be trusted or are going to run away scared when danger shows itself. (hide spoiler)]
57% (view spoiler)[Poor little incubus doesn’t know how to deal with his feelings and emotions. Kind of sad to think he’s the only one truly familiar with women and sex and yet feelings and relationships have never (obviously) been a part of his life. And for someone whose lived so long it’s kinda sad. (hide spoiler)]
83% (view spoiler)[Omen is such a dick I swear. All his training is too much and too bloody. But at the same time I’m really curious what she is and how she came to be. I’m guessing a halfbreed but we’ve been led to belive that’s impossible so I can’t wait to find out. Better be something awesome, I mean we just met a centaur and a unicorn so Sorsha better top one of those lol (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[I like all the action I think it keeps things going.I really like Snap so they need to rescue him ASAP. Also I need more Pickle, like he needs a larger role in the books lol (hide spoiler)]

[Felicia]

Pickle is adorable. Lol.

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

24% (view spoiler)[Poor Snap. He's repressed everything because he hates what he is so much. They need to Snap him out of it, pun intended :P (hide spoiler)]
54%(view spoiler)[ This is so crazy, how does she exist if someone like her is unheard of. Antic and Gloam are two fun additions that's for sure. (hide spoiler)]
84%(view spoiler)[ OMG what?!?!?! Sorsha is actually this mysterious being they've been on the hunt for all this time? Oh man how did I not see that coming!!! And Omen is supposed to hunt her down. Oh man! (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[ That was one hell of a ending. Damn Omen I can't stand him and yet I want things to work out between them. Now though I have to wonder if it's even possible/ There were quite a few bombs dropped near the end and I am so ready to see how everything coalesces. (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

25% (view spoiler)[Oh wow! She's a phoenix! That's amazing and scary. But how did Tempest know what she was. Especially if she's so rare? (hide spoiler)]
60% (view spoiler)[She really needs to stop burning Pickle, it's pissing me off lol But if he's a dragon shouldn't he be made for fire? (hide spoiler)]
80% (view spoiler)[How is Tempest always one step ahead. Too bad the heroine's power can't just heat up and boil the water lol, instead it puts out her flame. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[This was a decent end. I like the heroine burning Tempest up to a crisp but really just letting the Highest slink off into the shadows is dumb and hard to believe. They will be back at some point and I hate that it's left open like this and we're supposed to believe they gave up on killing Sorsha? Doubtful. Also why the hell is Omen uninjured by her fire but her dragon isn't? Frustrating! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Wow, you plowed through those!

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Aly wrote: "Wow, you plowed through those!"

Wanted this out of the way so I can get to Kit lol. Still a few books to go but I'm nearly there!!

[Aly]

I should do that too. Finish the last 2 books then back to Kit

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Aly wrote: "I should do that too. Finish the last 2 books then back to Kit"

Yes you should lol. These are good but not that good ;) I know when I dive in I'm only going to want to keep going lol

[Aly]

Yeah I didn't love book 2 but the ending made me interested in book 3

[Aly]

27% (view spoiler)[ Yay they got Snap back! Even if his memories are gone, I'm happy he's okay (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ I'm so happy Snap is back to himself. And we have some info about Sorsha's parents (hide spoiler)]
76% (view spoiler)[ I hope Omen wasn't taken by The Company, especially right after he and Sorsha just hooked up. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Earlier on I wondered if Sorsha was Ruby, but it seemed like Ruby was a lot older than her so then I thought maybe she was Sorsha's mom. But no, it's her.
And WTF is a shadowkind doing killing her own people? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

24% (view spoiler)[ Ooh a phoenix? That's cool. I'm glad Omen didn't take her to the Higher shadowkind yet (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ That plan totally failed and now they're worse off, so frustrating. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

75% (view spoiler)[ I want Sorsha to go full phoenix and burn Tempest to a crisp! I know she can do it, she doesn't need to be rescued (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm glad she did burn Tempest plus all the other Company locations and people. I thought maybe she'd meet the highest, their storyline was kind of meh (hide spoiler)]
