Book Review: Nightshades

 



I’m a monster DNA experiment and her nightmares are mine.

In a world full of daydreams, I am the nightmare who haunts them.
Being kidnapped and experimented on violated me, but I love the power I have been given.
I get to inflict pain. Suffering. Fear.
And my favorite, death.
I will rid the world of the bad, even if it means having to kill the good.
Remorse? Humanity? Kindness? The little I had as a human died the day I became what people fear.
Mmm, I’m hard just thinking about it.
I do love when people are terrified of me.
Especially her.
Detective Lula Sanchez.
Her case files are a threat, and I have to protect her from the people she is hunting.
The only one allowed to install fear in her is me.
Her terror? I own.
Her thrills? They belong to me.
Her nightmares? Claimed.
When her eyes close every night, Lula will succumb to my darkness.
She’s mine.
And all my beasts agree.

This is book four in The Monster Stalker Series. The author recommends reading in order and asks that you please read the trigger warnings which are located at the very front of the book as this is a dark romance.


My Review

Lula is a detective. She is trying to solve a string of murders. Shades never asked to be turned into an experiment but now he would never go back to being a "regular" human. He is stronger, more powerful, can self-heal, to name a few. 

Shades is a walking, talking red flag. Yet, I can't help but fall in love with Shades. His relationship with Lula definitely felt like a hate to love relationship. Only Lula can get away with calling Shades "Shadey". I will be dreaming of Shades. No nightmares for me.  

"He might be a nightmare, but he is my absolute dream. My soul says so."

Having recently watched Guillermo del Toro's version of Frankenstein, I am shouting it out loud that January Rayne is the female version of Guillermo del Toro. There you have it. I said it. If you love your monster romances...Extra Extreme, then you are going to love January's writing. This newest book is amazing.
