Publisher's summary

Would YOU love a monster girl?

Andrew hunts monsters as a member of the Non-Human Investigative Corps, and he's very good at his job. Unfortunately, the skills he honed to keep the peace aren't much use in the cutthroat world of city politics, and a recent civil ruling is forcing the integration of the once exclusively human NHIC!

Velise is a beautiful arachne noble sent to the human-ruled city of Daytau as part of a diplomatic boondoggle to prove her political skills to her matriarch. A chance encounter with Andrew leaves her wanting to know more, and the integration gives her an opportunity both to sate her curiosity and advance her ambitions.

Yet the barroom brawl Andrew diffused for her sake was no accident, and city hall would love nothing more than to end his career. Forced by circumstance both to protect and rely on a monster, Andrew comes to an uncomfortable realization.

Velise might just be everything he ever wanted in a woman....

Excellent story

The book/series is seriously some of the best writing in this genre. The characters are borderline real for how well they are crafted. The world building is intriguing. The conflict always has you engaged and the narration is very good.

If you are even close to on the fence about whether or not to give this series a listen/read. Do it. You will not be disappointed

Go for it. do it. jump in.

I honestly forget the genre of Cebelius's books when I listen to them.
Both his writing and the voice actors performance draw me into the story so much that I want to know more about the big picture. I want to see the characters achieve what they want, and see the story cum to a conclusion (wink). Nothing feels contrived or forced. The story is well paced. honestly, this review can be used for any of Cebelius's work.

Worth the credit.

The book was good. I would rather it happened on Celestine thou. So much went in to building that world. It is tough to get used to a new one.
I liked the characters and the plot. Book was an easy 4 star. Minus one star for no Celestine.

Where is the next one?

Cebelius + Christopher Boucher, Jessica Threet is like Will Wight + Travis Baldree what I'm saying is WOW the narrators where perfect for the book most definitely a 5 star performance and I'm looking forward to instantly spending a credit on the next book in the series the moment I see it.

This series has potential and I'm looking forward what comes next.

If I could have rated 10 I would have

An excellent performance by both narrators and author, Cebelius is an amazing author and I have personally loved every book they have written. the smut while amazingly written is not integral to the story as a whole and could have been glossed over and been just as good, (not saying this to take anything away from the book at all) the narrators were equally amazing, Jessica Threet and Christopher Boucher did amazing jobs as they always do

Happily Surprised

I kept going back and forth about this book. I am NOT a spider person to say the least. Finally decided to give it a try because I have yet to dislike a book by Cebelius. Story is great, narration is great and I am quite happy.

Good Story

The story was a bit slow for me but good overall. My only complaint would be that the story doesn't continue but deviates to another character entirely in the subsequent books.
