About this listen
Welcome to London, where the roaring twenties are filled with fangs and freaks.
When Irene is kidnapped by a gang of monsters, she is shoved straight into a world of magic and murder.
A mothman. An Unseelie. A demonic plague doctor.
The Freaks are a terrifying group ready to wreak havoc on the world that destroyed their humanity. As these creatures drag Irene into the dark, they crave her soul, mind—and body.
The longer these four are together, the faster they fall into a terrifying type of love.
Will the demons take the wings from their caged dove, or will they set her free before their world devours her?
Doves and Demons is the first book in the Freaks of Nature Duet and will be a complete story for the characters. No cliffhanger, but the plot threads go into the second book, which will have a different set of characters. This is a dark, spicy, why-choose steampunk monster romance.

Story
When it comes to stealing from mafia men, there are three rules. Don't get caught. Don't be seen. And most of all—don't fall in love with them. After being hired to steal a painting, I find myself ensnared. Damon, Minos, and Aaecus are monsters, and they only want one thing: Me. Seven days of sin in exchange for freedom from the Three Fates Mafia. If only it were that easy. The strings of fate have bound the four of us together, and not even gods or monsters can keep us apart.

It’s Monsters Night, the annual event where the portals to other realms and realities open, and monsters flood the streets to search for their potential mates. And I’m one of the candidates. Why? Because I broke all the rules. I fought back against the elitist system hellbent on enslaving humankind. And f--k if I’m going to let one of these monsters claim me. Let alone three of themOrcus.

It was an average day . . . until a gorgeous demon waltzed into my coffee shop and asked me to be his mate. I jokingly agreed, but he was serious. And now I'm mated to him. Permanently. He drinks lust to survive, so that makes me his immortal meal. If that wasn't bad enough, he's just gotten out of prison. Because I accidentally bound myself to him, I automatically take responsibility for keeping him on the right side of the law.

Some creatures are fatally flawed. I'm a thrill-seeker, a gambler, and a thief—playing whim to my greed. However, my sins aren't what I have to fight right now...it's theirs. Three men deemed too powerful and wrong to let live by our Council. They're too devious, too strong, too evil. An unhinged crazy incubus, an obsessive shape-shifting beast, and the Dullahan himself—scars, steed, and all.

I'm certifiably insane. Just ask my amazing therapist. He's my soulmate and a vampiric serial killer. There's no one I'd rather stalk more. Except no more late night slinking for me. I'm in The Asylum, committed as a danger to myself and others. They tell me I'm delusional, which they aren't wrong...except about what. See, this place is made for supernaturals too dangerous to let roam free. The doctors, the staff, the family members that helped put us here are all in on it, trying to convince us magic is just another delusion. They plan to keep us here forever—sedated and docile.

Story
Have you ever lost yourself in a fantasy world you created? That's how I've survived the years alone in a reality where humans cower in fear of supernatural creatures hiding behind the veil. All I've ever had is my pen, my notebook, and the world I created to make it through the days as a ward of the state, suffering at the hands of the real villains of the world—humans. The pages of my notebook hold three sinful, feared monsters. Ones that I certainly shouldn't be pining over since they aren't even real.

I bought "Lockwood House" at an auction, and the magical community definitely knew something was up, because my rivals were all in on it, including Jake and Jasper, the infuriating wolf shifter twins who think they're so much better at renovations than me. I overpaid, and now I'm stuck with a mess. Floors caving in, 70s carpeting, and...the ghost of an incubus who won't stop flirting with me while I'm trying to demo. That's not the only problem. The former owner's son seems to be drawn to the place against his own will.

The Gods split the skies and rained down tyranny upon the mortal realm long ago. Ever since then, the only thing worse than being human is being of Divine Blood. For someone like me—an undocumented God child, indebted to the Underworld Assassination Guild—that means only one thing: A life in the shadows. Or so it should have been . . . until Mortal Gods Academy. Until them.

Three sexy-but-psycho monsters. The witch they're determined to protect. And a high-stakes heist about to go very wrong… I've made some pretty questionable choices in my life, but summoning the dark goddess to save my sisters? That was just plain stupid. Now I’m in her debt, and goddesses don’t exactly do payment plans. She wants the blood of the dark fae warlord of Midnight, a realm of exiles where the sun never rises and torture is a competitive sport. It’s a death trap only three men have ever escaped—my newly appointed escorts.

The life I knew ceased to exist as I suffered at the hands of my stepmother, who hated me. I fought to escape and once I did, I thought life would become normal again, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. Tragedy was woven in my bloodstream, hiding in my DNA structure. I had a sliver of peace before it all went to hell again.

Never stop running. And no matter what, never let the world know who you really are. I’ve spent my whole life hiding. Training. Preparing. Hoping that no one will discover my secrets. What I can do. Who I am. And I’ve gotten so good at it, sometimes even I forget. Until them. The wolf pack with a ruthless reputation and a penchant for revenge. The protective fighter. The charming Brit. The shy hacker. The silent mercenary. The cruel assassin. They see more than anyone ever has before. And even with demons of their own, they give me sanctuary.

Story
Never stop running. And no matter what, never let the world know who you really are. I’ve spent my whole life hiding. Training. Preparing. Hoping that no one will discover my secrets. What I can do. Who I am. And I’ve gotten so good at it, sometimes even I forget. Until them. The wolf pack with a ruthless reputation and a penchant for revenge. The protective fighter. The charming Brit. The shy hacker. The silent mercenary. The cruel assassin. They see more than anyone ever has before. And even with demons of their own, they give me sanctuary.

For a while, there was a good balance between the story and the smut, and that’s what makes a smutty book good. However…
***SPOILERS AHEAD***
The scene where they’re all 3 together with her when she’s “mad” at them and making them beg… Good Lord. It was just too much. I wanted her to ACTUALLY be angry and ACTUALLY make them beg, not just “playfully” beg. I needed more stakes in the relationships after everything they’d done to her. There was no reason any of them should be actually “in love” with her, they knew little to nothing about her other than she was magically taming them with the help of the dove. *Shrug* Like I said, it was a fun book for what it was and it got me out of a reading slump. So… overall it was fun.

Well, here it is.
You must know, this is about bedding monsters.
The backdrop of Victorian steampunk London is alive and thriving, shadows coming to life that work with our monsters effortlessly. The author is an incredible wordsmith and I enjoyed the lushness of her style. Each character is profound, unique, and driven; and major props to the narrators for nailing the array of accents!
Irene is a very strong female lead, a flower with delicate petals but thorns she is not afraid to use. Sometimes I felt she was a little too sharp to be fully adored, but in her situation, I understood.
All the three guys start off as cruel, but secretly are good hearted bad monsters or a tortured soul, or both, all wrapped in attractive packages with antennas, three eyes, or plaque masks.
Some of the evolution of this quad’s rapport I felt was too rapidly paced, but I suppose that is also a common romance trope.
Still, overall, I think our leads were fairly brilliant.
And the villain and their cronies! I wish we could have got to know them better. A very intriguing concept.
The mystery with the power of the dove device was engaging and there are so good composed twists in the narrative, making the gears move the whole time.
And the steam… whew. There are maybe two that were almost on the border of bring too intense for my blushing innocent self. Yet, I will admit, the creativity of these spicy moments and how the writer naturally built to getting hotter was the skill of a talented storyteller of this genre.
Once again, I cannot state the amazingness and talent enough of the two narrators, Lexi Evans and Logan Anare. They truly bring this to life!
Come my little fairies and puppets. This book will make you vibrate…how so? Join the freaks to find out.

That was so much fun. A dark, why choose, morally black monster romance with some exquisite peens and an FMC with a ton of spunk, I was in absolute heaven. I binged this audiobook in an afternoon and I'm already begging for more.
I honestly could not get enough of these MMCs. A mobster mothman, a demonic plague doctor and an unseelie fae, all of which want to hate her so badly, yet can't stay away. The back and forth and enemies to lovers vibes were to unalive for here.
The audio was amazing. Lexi Evans and Logan Anare were both incredible. Their accents were so good, especially Logan's, and I had such a great time listening to them. They really brought these characters to life and I'm hoping they'll be doing book two as well.

Good story & character building.
So, it pains me to say that the narration almost made me stop listening on several occasions. The MMC did a good job with the accents but sometimes changed pronunciations enough to notice. The FMC’s rendition of a “French” accent was painful. Her pronunciations also switched up during the story so much that it seemed as if she had stopped narrating the story & came back later to finish but forgot how she’d been saying things previously. If that kind of stuff isn’t bothersome to you get the book. It was an entertaining enough story for me to finish in spite of the narration.
Great story - narration not so much
