Lor

Monstrous, Book 7

By: Lily Mayne

Narrated by: Michael Lesley

My role as Moric—ruler of a small and prosperous fiefdom in a quiet corner of the world—has always been painfully dull and stifling.

Until a beautiful, otherworldly creature with pink skin and a mane of golden hair falls through a strange void that has appeared in my guestroom.

I am instantly captivated by him.

I have never seen anything like him. I have no idea where he came from, and what else is through that unsettling void—another world filled with soft-skinned, defenseless creatures like him? No tails, no horns, no claws, no sharp teeth. Tiny clothing, rounded ears, bright blue eyes. He is fascinating. And I want to keep him.

I have no idea how my citizens and councilors will react to his presence—to the knowledge that a whole other world exists, and there is a portal to it in my guestroom. As much as I try to keep him my secret, the truth starts to slip out.

Those in my fiefdom who cling desperately to power do their best to tear us apart. To take him from me.

I won't let them.

Lor is book seven 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. Intended for mature listeners.

This crushed my soul but I loved it

Lily Mayne may be my favorite author ever. I was captivated the entire time during Lor and it hit me so hard in my feelings and the payoff was worth it all. Michael Lesley understood the assignment and he gave it EVERYTHING and I am so thankful for his performance really elevated the story that much more. I just loved this entirely.

I was a wreck! but sooooo worth it!

omg! omg! I was so happy and giddy then... cried and cried and felt destroyed but, wonderful and then omg! that's all I can't think now! listened from the time I woke up, all during the work day! still half way I'm home and sobbed while making dinner! This is by far the best story in the series and I am sick that we all will have to wait for more! I shall be watching and waiting listening to the whole series over again! amazing!!
* is the best way to explain it!!!!

Get your tissues

I absolutely adored this book it's was simply perfection while also made me wanted to cry. but definitely a must read I can not wait for the next book

Outstanding!

I enjoyed all of the Monstrous books but this one is my absolute favorite. The writing and performance are both outstanding!

Strong story

This was an awesome read and listen. When I originally read the book, I wasn’t sure what Lor and Lyri would sound like. So I was totally fine with this interpretation.

Michael Lesley, as always, did a fantastic job at giving each character their own distinct voice.

Lor is my absolute favorite partner in this series. If I could choose one for myself, it would be him. And Seraph would be my baby. Jugs, our human himbo is a nice guy. My only critique is I wish he felt/came off as more devoted to Lor. It sorta feels like he really likes him but isn’t in love or attached in a deeper way. I think his side of the story needed a little tweaking - I couldn’t stop feeling like he didn’t deserve Lor’s unflinching devotion, but that might just be me. This is still one of my faves from this series. Lor was really put through the wringer. I highly recommend. I can’t wait for the next installment!!
