I really should’ve known better than to play around with that old book of spells…. How was I supposed to know that the incantations scrawled inside of it worked? That the first one I read would open a portal into a demon plane—or that the next one was an unbreakable vow to the seven foot tall shadow monster I unwittingly summoned into my bedroom?

He says his name is Malphas, that he’s something called a Sombra demon, and I’m his mate.

Monster, demon…whatever he is, his muscles are bigger than my head, and that club between his legs…. I don’t know if mate means the same thing to him as it does me, but he’s gotta be kidding.

Spoiler alert: he’s not.

Mal has been waiting for more than a thousand years for the one woman meant for him. He’s convinced that’s me, and he’s willing to do anything to prove it. And maybe there’s something really wrong with me because, before long, I find myself eager to let him try.…

Mated to the Monster is the first in a monster romance series about the Sombra demons, a race of shadow-based monsters who will do anything to claim their females. Mal and Shannon might come from different worlds, but when it comes to fate, lust, and forever…they might just be a perfect match.

Could turn this book into a drinking game. Take a shot every time you hear the word “cock” or “my mate” and the whole group would be shit-faced in 30 minutes. Lazy writing, too. Also…why does the MMC have a British accent?
I will never admit to my friends that I listened to this one lol

Cringe and kind of lame

I started out enjoying the book but the way it took almost 18 chapters for her to decide and he almost being taken away to see how she feels then the ending a bit rushed was a bit disappointing. The narrators were wonderful and I loved listening to them. Even if the MFC did frustrate me at times.

Love the two narrators

This was a really great read for those who like devoted males and female leads who don’t fly off the handle at every turn. I love how the lead explains her reasoning. The story was enjoyable and the narration was top notch. A lot of time was understandably spent explaining “how things worked,” like where the monster came from and the ins and outs of fated mates. Although it does leave you with questions, there are also hints that there will be more books to explain them. One of the reviews said the mating didn’t happen, but it definitely did. There are quite a few steamy scenes, although most didn’t involve actual intercourse. It’s pretty light-hearted, not a lot of angst. Overall, I’d call it sweet. Given that this book spent a lot of time explaining things, I’m hoping the next has a bit more action. I can’t wait!!!

my only regret is starting this series before the other books came out. it's a complete story but I enjoyed it and I liked the world-building. I wish this was longer but honestly, I liked the pacing of the story. I liked the narrators, especially the male narrator! I also really loved that the narrators each read the lines spoken by their characters so even if the chapter was from Shannon's perspective, the male narrator read Mal's lines.

Can't wait for book 2!

I loved the make actors voice! He really made the book!! The story wasn’t what I expected at all.
I wish there was more mature language. There were certain things that Shanon said that were very cringy.

Was expecting something else☹️

It's a super fun story! I'm not big on spice and this has a lot of it but I managed to enjoy it and get into the characters.

*Spoilers*


I am curious what's going on with the spell book at the end? Did she skip town with it???

Fun Listen

It cracked me up that the narrator sounded like she might be Canadian and living in Jersey, but overall I loved her voice and the male voice. 10/10. I enjoyed the world building, the laws the monster had to follow, the information about his world, I enjoyed the love story, the slowish burn. I’m looking forward to the rest of this series.

So good

Not a bad story- A little disappointed that when we get there it's basically a fade to black scene. From the way it was promoted I expected a little spicier. I also don't understand why the author does call backs to what was just discussed literally in the previous chapter as if it was something you could forget with such a short story.

Really? We fade to black
