About this listen
For centuries I have suffered.
Solidified and silenced, all because I failed to destroy what I was created for.
Except now, after so long… There is a female. One who always seems to be by my side. Day after day. Night after night.
She talks to me. Touches me. Tells me things. She shares stories of a world I no longer know. She is a reprieve from my punishment. A sweet delight. She liberates me from my solitude.
But when I rise, my adversary seizes his opportunity, and she's caught between us. He only wants her to get to me.
She isn't his. And I'll do anything to protect what's mine.

As a third daughter on the farming colony of Meterion, Susan’s future prospects aren’t too promising.

Long have we been alone; without brides, without females to warm us during the long nights, without sweet mates. But we see them from afar, the brides that could be ours. Kept away from us by walls and weapons. Females we long for greatly...obsessively. Human females. And the one with red hair? I want her. I saw her first. I will fight to the death for her. She is mine. So, we’ll come together and make an exchange with their men that will benefit us all. After that? To the winner goes the spoil. Let the hunt begin...but the red-headed female is mine.

There are a million ways to end up in the Alien Bride Lottery, but it takes only one. Every unmarried female human over the age of 21 gets entered once a year. You can also accept extra entries for legal infractions—instead of paying a parking fine, for example, you can request an extra entry. Lots of women do that. I mean, why not? The chances are astronomical that your name will get chosen to be one of the hundred or so women who get shipped off to space every year.

All I've wanted since my abduction from Earth's first long-range space flight is freedom from my alien captors. But when I'm sold off to a Rhonar warrior, I learn I'm not the only one enslaved on this hellish planet, and survival comes at a cost. The commanding alien they call Xelan may be in charge, but his fair dealings—and devilishly sexy charms—give me hope for the future. If I can strike an agreement with the battle-scarred warrior, perhaps together we can change the destiny of those bound in chains. And if I can't—well, I haven't backed down from a fight yet.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Long have we been alone; without brides, without females to warm us during the long nights, without sweet mates. But we see them from afar, the brides that could be ours. Kept away from us by walls and weapons. Females we long for greatly...obsessively. Human females. And the one with red hair? I want her. I saw her first. I will fight to the death for her. She is mine. So, we’ll come together and make an exchange with their men that will benefit us all. After that? To the winner goes the spoil. Let the hunt begin...but the red-headed female is mine.

With the terrifying Red King searching for her and chaos all around, her only hope of escape lies in Shadow, a tall, mysterious being with glowing eyes, sharp claws, and a haunting grin who may be the maddest of them all. But even if Wonderland isn’t real, her growing feelings for Shadow—and his desire for her—are.

When the Monster Relations Bureau tells me I've been identified as a kraken shifter's mate, my first instinct is to run. I learned the hard way what it means to be treated like someone's possession, and I'm not about to make the same mistake twice. Only, Elias is… different. Patient and careful with me, willing to wait as long as it takes for me to let him in. The more I learn to trust him, and the more he draws me under with the dark temptation of his touch, the more the defenses I've held onto for so long start to crumble.

It was an offer too good to refuse: spend one month in the most haunted house in the world. When the reclusive owner of Duskwood Manor opens the door to five teams of paranormal investigators, there's no way my team can say no. But there are no ghosts here. There are monsters. They live under my bed, in my closet, and watch me from the shadows, whispering filthy visions in my ear at night. Begging me to come with them to their world—the Void, where the monsters roam free . . . where they teach me what it really means to want.

For my kind, to be without a mate is to be doomed. I know it is too late–all that awaits me is retirement and death, and I’ve embraced it. But when a suicide mission lands on my old boss’s desk, I’m the one he calls. Who better to tackle the mission in the deep, oppressive mines of my own ancestral homeland, if not an Arachnae already slated to die? And it’s not a rescue mission–he wants me to retrieve the corpse of a billionaire’s daughter kidnapped by a terrorist organization. Except our intel was wrong. She’s alive. Tortured and injured–but alive.

Refreshing new take on Gargoyles
I really enjoyed reading this book. I am a Naomi Lucas fan regardless and so had high expectations. The authors put a new spin on a gargoyle and the relationship development is adorable. I recommend this book to anyone wanting an enjoyable listen with great narrators while having the perfect blend of spice and plot.

Don't come looking for a Gargoyles fanfic.
I didn't but it seems the other reviewers did. Also be aware of the smut I guess? Kinda weird one reviewer didn't know what they were getting into with the monster lover genre.
I do have to agree with others that the second half was much better than the first. I took multiple breaks during the first part but once the second half started I was hooked..
I thought I had guessed the ending and was rather disappointed at the mundane turn I thought it was taking but I was delightfully suprised at the ending we got. I want to see more of them like that!!
I don't like female narrators and I especially hate dual narration but I enjoyed this one enough; They both did a good job.
Can't wait to listen to the next one! <3

Interesting story
This is an interesting premise and could have been an amazing audiobook. The narrators do a great job with the characters they were supposed to voice.
Biggest problem I have with the story is that the FMC acts so stoopid too many times. Don't go out at night? She runs outside. Don't say my name? She says it often. She eventually gets better, but I would appreciate authors to give FMC some common sense and intelligence, especially if she is smart enough to have a Master's.
Second issue is if there is a dual narration, please make it a true dual narration. Hearing the female VA speaking the MMC voice, and the male VA reading the FMC voice is so odd and distracting.
If you can overlook those issues, then I would recommend this book. I'm curious about the second book in this series, partly because I apparently cannot keep my curiosity at bay.

Strange Gargoyle!
The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💙💚💜❤️
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📙
World building: 🌏🌍🌎
Character development: 😟🙁☺️🤓
Narration: 🎙🎙🎙
Narration Type: Dual Narration
The heroine: Summer - she is a tour guide at Hopkins Museum of the Strange. The museum is a tourist trap that has things like a dragon’s tooth, jars with animals like the cerberus rat and fairy carcasses, haunted dolls, and a giant stone gargoyle statue. The gargoyle statue stands behind the customer service desk and welcome’s everyone to the museum. It seems to get bigger at times when the shadows are just right. Summer knows the entire back story of the gargoyle’s mysterious history. His silent non-judgmental companionship is the best Summer has had since she returned to her hometown.
The Story: The gargoyle predates the Middle Ages. His history is that nobody knows who sculpted him before he was in the possession of John Motismo, a magician and supposed warlock. He found fame in the early 60s. John Motismo included the gargoyle in his show, in the finale, he would bring the statue to life. At one point John Motismo went crazy and pooped blood over the statue saying he needed to free it.
One day after Summer closes up for the night, she pats the gargoyle statue as she talks to it, when she feels a sharp pain and sees that she has cut her hand on the statue. When she looks at her hand later, the cut is mysteriously gone. Later that night at home, she has an erotic dream about a cold stone phallus, but when she opens her eyes, nothing is there. She hears someone speaking to her and can’t understand what is going on. She tries to warm up the phallus with her mouth and opens her eyes to find the museums gargoyle is in her bed. Though he is gone when she wakes up.
The Hero: Zuriel - he is nearly a foot and a half taller than Summer and twice her size. He has been solidified for centuries since he failed to do what he was created for, vanquishing demons. He has been standing guard not really sentient until Summer came to work at Hopkins. All his previous owners have been evil men who wanted his power but needed to know his name. When he finally wakes, he sees Summer as his owner and knows that the demon Adriel is close.
This book was a strange one. Since Zuriel all the sudden had a package when he never had one before, he wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. From my point of view, it was downright silly and unnecessary, not really funny as it tried to be. Though when all that got finished, the story wasn’t bad. I did like the characters and the storyline about Adriel needing to get Zuriel’s name in order to get his power.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via Dual narration. It was narrated by Cassandra Miles and John Masterson. Cassandra has a voice that sounds like she is a small person. I am not really sure what I mean by that, but it is a sort of childish voice in a way. I had to check to verify I didn’t accidentally increase the speed on my audiobook. She is good at doing other voices though. John Masterson had s fro voice and speaks in a broken tempo which works well for a Hero just coming out of his stone prison.

Nothing like the cartoon Gargoyles
It was marketed on tik tok as a spicy Gargoyles-esque fic, like the 90’s cartoon Gargoyles, which would have been awesome! BUT it’s just a trashy porn book - and not even a good one. Don’t get me wrong, I like a good spicy book. I loved the review of this book and was VERY excited to read it, I even pre-ordered it! Imagine my surprise when by the first chapter the FL is found to be a whiny, sniveling loser living with her parents who gets raped by the controlling and lame ML in her dream. Like, wtf. It starts off trashy and ends trashy. This book was written by what seems to be a femcel and incel, both of whom have never had sex before, let alone even been able to stutter out a sentence to the opposite sex in real life. None of the sex scenes are provocative, instead the descriptions made me physically gag and repulsed me. Many of them also had me worried about BV, but what kind of virgins would understand the dangers of raw anal to vaginal sex? It’s the kinda trash I wrote at 13 when I was a virgin hiding under my bed and scared my parents would find it. Worse, the characters are lame af losers who have zero dimension and they start and stay that way through the whole book. The plot is stupid and secondary to the poorly written and executed sex scenes. This is NOTHING like Gargoyles, the 90’s cartoon. The only similarity is the use of the Gargoyle monster. I am so angry I listened to the good review of this and wasted my money on this book. I’m also angry this trash is being associated with one of my fav childhood cartoons. Stop comparing this garbage to Gargoyles. Gargoyles had a badass FL and the ML was also a badass and together they banded up with others to take down a common enemy and built up mutual respect and attraction. That’s where I thought this would go based on the review. But nope. Just trashy femcel/incel bullshit. I’d give this zero stars if I could.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
