My coven has remained hidden in the shadows for centuries.

We’ve avoided the ‘real world’ altogether - hiding from monsters and other creatures we share this planet with.

We found protection in the Colville National Forest, nestled in a town protected by magical barriers.

Our powers are locked by an ancient curse, one meant to protect us from being found.

Until now.

The past has a way of repeating itself. A new game is beginning. No one is safe.

He’s coming for me.

He’s hunting.

The monster we’ve run from for centuries has found us.

How far will this deadly game go?

How far will I be able to take it, or will he destroy me and everything I care about?

Will the one thing I can’t live without be the key to destroying and undoing the past?

Or will the past destroy me before I can save the people I love from what I’ve done?

Warning: Intended for listeners 18 and older.

About the hero: Chances are you may not fall instantly in love with him, that’s because I don’t write men you instantly love; you grow to love them. I don’t believe in instant love. I write flawed, raw, caveman-like assholes who eventually let you see their redeeming qualities. They are aggressive, assholes, and one step above a caveman when we meet them. You may not even like him by the time you finish this audiobook, but I promise you will love him by the end of this series.

About the heroine: There is a chance that you might think she’s a bit naïve, or weak, but then again who starts out as a badass?

Badasses are a product of growth and I am going to put her through hell, and you get to watch her come up swinging every time I knock her on her ass. That’s just how I do things. How she reacts to the set of circumstances she is put through may not be how you, as the listener, or I, as the author, would react to that same situation. Everyone reacts differently to circumstances and how Magdalena responds to her challenges is how I see her as a character and as a person. I don’t write love stories: I write fast-paced, knock you down, make you sit on the edge of your seat wondering what happens next books. If you’re looking for cookie-cutter romance, this isn’t for you. If you can’t handle the ride, unbuckle your seat belt and get out of the roller-coaster car now. If not, you’ve been warned. If nothing outlined above bothers you, carry on and enjoy the ride!

I have been ernestly waiting for an Amelia Hutchins story in audiobook form, and these 2 narrators did not disappoint.

Eva Amar and Aiden Snow are very easy to listen to as they tell the story of Magdalena and Lucian. Eva portrays Lena as I imagined she would sound when I read the books. And, oh boy, does Aiden Snow’s deep and raspy voice really give anyone the tingles.

Playing with Monsters is witty, hot, and dirty. Lucian and his crew are all raw, primal, and purely badass. They don’t sugar coat anything. So if you’re looking for the sweet, romantic, and cute style of romance, where a good girl falls for a bad boy, this book is not for you. The dynamic between Lena and Lucian’s strong personalities, is a constant battle field. They don’t see eye to eye on almost anything, and the sexual dynamic between these two characters is blazing hot. With these talented narrators, you can feel the sexual tension that is brewing between Lena and Lucian at every interaction. I highly recommend this rollercoaster story. Your emotions with range from heart wrenching sadness to anger to horny, all within one book.

I have fallen head over heels for all of Amelia’s books! I have read them over and over again, and they never get old. The Monsters series, is a branch off of her original series, “The Fae Chronicles”. You meet some of the her original characters in this series, however I recommend, if you want to experience the full world she has created, read the Fae Chronicles first and continue with the Monsters series to experience the world from every angle.

Two words: “Hot Damn!”

Playing with Monsters is book one of the series by the same name. I found it difficult to put this book down. I was totally hooked. The story was really interesting and had some twists and turns. As this is just the first part of an ongoing storyline, we are left with some unanswered questions that we will need to keep reading to find out. This book ended with a mild cliffhanger. Nothing super maddening or urgent, so I am okay not reading book 2 right away.

This book had some really HOTT adult scenes in it. As much as the main characters wanted to hate each other, their chemistry was off the charts.

The audible was fairly good. Both narrators were easy to understand. I wasn't a big fan of the female narrator though because she didn't use clearly distinguishable voices which was especially bad when the dialogue was between two females. Several times, the sisters were speaking to each other and I had to try to figure out which was which. That brought me out of the story each time so that was a bit of a bummer.

Good start to the series

One word! Lucian! That man is so sexy and frustrating. I love that Magdalena is a force of her own. The ending of the book made me want to scream. Luckily book 2 is already in my library.

Amelia Hutchins is a Dark Romance Goddess!

This series is not for the faint of heart. If you're not into dominate alpha males, explicit sex scenes, magic, dark themes and a feisty heroine, then this is not the book for you. Amelia Hutchins pulls no punches in this awesome 1st installment. Magdalena is incredibly relatable and Lucian is deliciously devious. If you're a fan of Hutchins' Fae Chronicles, you absolutely need to pick this one up. And don't be deterred by the reviews bashing the narrator. She really isn't that bad. I actually ended up really liking her, as she isn't over exaggerated. The male narrator took a bit longer to grow on me, but overall I enjoyed his parts as well. Amelia Hutchins is a master at leading you to believe that you know exactly what's going on..... right up until the rug is pulled from under you... and you begin to question everything. Playing with Monsters is a must read for lovers of Dark Fantasy with a super sexy twist. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars all day long! I can't wait for book 2!

Witches, demons and all the sexy scenes!

It took a little while to get going. I almost stopped reading but am now glad I didn’t and am looking forward to the next book. The female performance was not great. I prefer narrators that can create more distinct characters rather than those that simply read the story. Not my favorite but worth the read

Still not sure

The story overall was good. I do feel like the author overdid the cussing. I also thought the male character didn’t talk like a man a lot of the time, and it showed that it was a female author with some of the things he said. The narrators were also a super weird mix. The woman sounded like 18, while the man in his mid thirties. I think I would have liked it a little more if the female narrator was more mature and could change her voice at all. Plus the way she said “bury” as “brrry” irked me a little.

Definitely a book for a mature 18+ YA

WOW‼️ this book is so damn intriguing I couldn’t stop listening,.
The m/c’s are so interesting, intriguing, delicious and devious! I luv a book where I don’t know who or what the good/guy bad guys/gals are, and where evil is often determined by perspective.
Warning: book ends in a cliffhanger
Warning: sexy alpha assholes abound
Warning: fresh panties on hand cause the sexual appetites are ...erotic & steeeeeamy WHOAH! ⚡️😉💯👍🏻
This book reminds me vaguely, perhaps because of a few characters, of author Karen Marie Moning’s Dark Fever series, but gets way more sexy sooner as Moning’s series doesn’t get this steamy until book 3 or 4 but is an excellent series for recommendation!
Wish audible had the previous series to “monsters” by Amelia Hutchins, called “The Fae chronicles” available in audio but guess I’ll just have to read instead.
