Have I ever mentioned how much I love a good quick read? I consume a lot of books, right, and sometimes I just need something short and sweet in the middle of whatever series I’ve got going or something less intense after a long and traumatizing saga. So let me tell you, when Marit Prins opened ARC sign-ups for her Jensen Ackles/Supernatural-inspired Halloween-vibed novella I SIGNED UP SO, SO FAST.
Now if you don’t know Marit, she JUST celebrated her one-year authorversary (congratulations!) and this upcoming release will be book three in the Accidental Monsters series of standalones. I discovered her through Facebook groups (my savior!) and utterly devoured book one: Demon Satisfier.
So anyway, let’s get into it, because I ate this book up – I read it in one sitting and it was amazing.
Highlights:
Katherine has a stalker. When she gets a guard dog that also turns out to be a shapeshifting Hellhound, she also gets a bit more than she bargained for 😉
What I thought:
This book was exactly what I hoped it would be – short, sexy, and action-packed! Usually in a novella of this size I would expect there to be very little plot, but somehow, Prins was able to pack in a well thought out story line with character arcs and intrigue on TOP of the spice – because I do promise, the spice was spicing!!
I’d also like to point out that as a huge fan of Supernatural, the vibes were immaculate. There was definitely saving people and hunting things.. PLUS pentagrams, creepy churches, doorways to Hell, and just the sexiest of MMC’s. Definitely worth a read this spooky season!
