Monsters are evil, so why does Jake want to rescue one?

Tobias can't remember why he was locked inside Freak Camp when he was five. All he knows are the camp rules: Other monsters are not your friends. Never disobey the guards. Don't expect anything to get better. The world is safer with him behind these iron-reinforced walls.

But then he meets a hunter's son who defies all the rules. Jake is not just the only bright spot in his world but proof that goodness exists.

The heir to a long line of monster hunters, Jake's only purpose is to stamp out evil. He carries his faith that all monsters are evil to the government-run Freak Camp, where shy, sweet-natured Tobias shakes up all he's ever known and shifts his purpose from hunting monsters to protecting one.

Two lonely boys, damaged in different ways, find themselves drawn together despite the odds.

Freeing Tobias into a world where he can define his own rules could cost Jake his family and the only life he's ever known. But failure carries an even higher price, for Tobias’s life hangs in the balance.

FREAK CAMP is the first book in A Monster By Any Other Name, a slow-burn M/M paranormal romance series for adult listeners. Book One is the hurt that leads to the comfort, and each book ends with a happy for now / happily ever after.

Content notes: scenes include abuse and neglect of children, sexual and physical assault, institutional dehumanization, and reference to domestic violence causing a miscarriage. Please see the full content notes inside the book or on the Freak Camp website before listening.

Just to start, this is not a light story. Read the trigger warnings! Okay now for my review. I have never read anything by these authors before. I saw this recommended on GR back in 2023 and it looked like something I might enjoy, so I added it to my TBR. I usually only do audiobooks, so it just sat on my TBR until I saw it came to audio. I immediately bought it the KU and Audio to try out. I am SO happy with my decision. This book is amazing. The writing, the characters, the hurt, the determination to survive, the sadness, the anger, the family, the side characters… all of it made for an unforgettable book. I’m at about 130 new books read this year and I can easily say this is one of my favorite books I’ve listened to/read so far.
I really hope the next books come to audio but I will be continuing this series regardless!

Listen to this book! You won’t regret it!

I hate everything in this book, but it is a good book, dark as hell, mix of supernatural the TV show and a concentration camp.

I like crying romance typically, this is just dark.

This book gives all the feels and emotions draws you in and have you right there, outraged at characters, crying at other times and sympathizing. i cannot wait for the reminder of the series to come out. This is an emotional roller coaster that has you on edge, from beginning to end

O.M.G - I need more!
