Life as a raider in the Wastes, where monsters roam and the military lurks, is as easy as it sounds.

I’ve been out here for a long time, and the fear that courses through my blood every time I step outside our camp walls to scavenge never fades. No matter how many monsters you face—and have to run for your life from—it doesn’t ever get easier.

But when I come across a bound and injured monster in an abandoned military base, I can’t leave him behind. His presence in our camp is causing tension, but I can’t bring myself to care when I get to see a different side to him—when he starts to show me who he is beneath the pain and lingering trauma.

Despite his gentle nature, I soon discover why others are so desperate to own him; why the military, and now this stranger lurking outside our camp, want to put him back in chains and take him away from me.

Something is hiding under his skin, something that threatens to upend my entire life.

There’s a reason why all other monsters fear him.

The Rycke contains explicit sexual content, graphic depictions of torture and violence, and deals with PTSD. It is book three in 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.

As much as it pains me to say, I think I love this book more than the Soul Eater… but it is so close… let’s call it a tie.

A wonderful story that just gets better and better!

Perfect!

I love Aury and Ghost--they are both such sweethearts! Michael Lesley did another amazing job bringing this world to life, and I can't wait to hear more in the series!

Loved It!

I appreciate the little moments of domestication, but I wish it would’ve been more dark and dramatic given the nature of the monster. Overall the performance is fine put I did laugh every time Ghost stuttered.

Cute

This is my fav of the series (so far) and I just cannot express how much I resonated with Ghost ugh 😍 and Aury is literally everything. I love them.

WOW 😍
