Resumen del Editor

When a strange woman shows up outside our camp in the Wastes with monsters chained up to her RV, it feels like I’m the only one who actually wants to help them.

That big, grey-skinned monster with the cage on his head and the chain hanging from his back—something is telling me I need to help him. I need to free him. But I have absolutely no idea how I’m supposed to do that, especially when he can’t even talk to me to tell me how.

Collector Mary is finally leaving our camp to head back to her monster menagerie, so I do the only thing I can think of to help him: I go with her.

Now, this big beastie and I are traveling companions for the foreseeable future. I just have to think of a way to get that cage off his head, which seems like an impossible task. But I’m not giving up. He has no one else, and when I start to discover who he is beneath the cage, my motivation to free him becomes far more than just a desire to help.

This is so dangerous. The military is lurking. Vicious monsters are lurking. And when Mary turns out to be even worse than we could have ever imagined, my desperate bid to save this monster turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse.

I’m pretty sure I’m going to die out here.

Gloam is book four of the Monstrous series, 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. Contains mature content.

Super sweet and really hot

Who knew that the biggest cinnamon roll in the series could dirty talk like a pro?

Anyway, very well written, with an interesting setting, great characters, a lot of action—heh, take that however you’d like—and very nicely spicy.

The performance brought all the characters to life. Well done!

Just pure love

Each book is just as good ad the last one. Rig is so cute and I just loved his story.

LOVED!!!!!!!!!!

So I loved the two Wynn books!!! Edin was amazing as well! But now I need to Re listen to Ryke—-as this installment helped me to understand more the complexities of the various beasties…BUT to this LOVE story- I loved everything about it - the underdog determination was PERFECTION- and the spice was just right!!!!!!

Just as good in audio!

I’ve already read this in print, but it was great to hear the voices of Rig and Gloam. Not so much Mary {shudder} but I guess she’s a (totally evil) part of the story. Looking forward to Moth and Seraph!

This was so Freaking Good!

I Give this Book a 5/5 Star Rating!

Oh this book was absolutely fantastic! It was everything I was hoping to expect and more, I’m obsessed with this universe!
And that ending makes me so excited to read the next book!

Narrator: Michael Lesley

I’m telling you, Michael Lesley is IT! One of the best narrators I’ve ever listened to, I can’t wait for him to narrate the rest of this universe, I mean I never want him to stop 😆 He outdid himself with this one! So Good!

Absolutely adored this one!

Gloam and Rig are the cutest sweetest cinnamon rolls to ever exist. Sweet babies subjected to the unspeakable, especially Gloam. Mary is true evil and I hope the new villains introduced in this book get their commupance post haste. This installment had excellent plot and romance! Rig is hilariously lusty after his thick thirst trap. Michael Lesley does a seriously amazing job with this series and his voices for Gloam and Rig really made them real for me. I'll most certainly by re listening to this one constantly.

What to say?

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore about the series. Perfection…incredibly written…addictive…
Every character you come across in this incredible world Lily Mayne has created you inadvertently end up falling for. It’s inevitable. I can’t express how much I love this series, I just know I’m going to be a hot mess when it’s over. If you made it this far in the series, you should already know to just listen and dive into the world of monsters.
4/🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Less sparks than in previous books…

While I enjoyed the plot and discoveries in this 3rd novel of the Monstrous series, the characters didn’t give me feels like other pairings.

Gloam was somewhat avuncular as far as monsters go & Rig was a nervous git a lot of the time. I felt no heat between them, although I did feel friendship.

I’m looking forward to the next book, Moth, although I wish it were out on audiobook already.

Recommended for: those of you invested in the series, since there is a big piece of info delivered in this one; and this of you who lov an amazing narrator.

Fantastic

Yet another great addition to the monstrous series. The narration is impressive, a lot of different characters to voice in this series, and there’s no trouble telling them apart. I’m now impatiently waiting for moth.

Sweet monster love

Gloam's voice was freaking perfect! It made me think of a kind professor or librarian! This book was so sweet and satisfying.
