About this listen

The picturesque town of North Falls is as beautiful as it is deadly.

When Nadia is called to help deliver a human woman's little elven babies, she knows she can't say no. After all, she's masquerading as a fertility witch since blood witches were hunted out of existence several generations ago.

But North Falls isn't like any other sanctuary city Nadia has been to, and the differences are enough to make her blood boil.

Haven is run by decent monsters, but a corrupt council with an agenda of their own leads North Falls. The ward around their town is failing and they aren't above compelling the witch to their bidding.

Everything will have to fall into place for her to survive the trip. Unfortunately for Nadia, her luck has never been all that great. Add in a rogue alpha wolf, a council-appointed vampire guard who would be more accurately described as a spy, and a couple of demons from her past, and it looks like she might just have a fighting chance.

Well, until the council ups the ante, that is. Will her newfound protectors be enough to keep her alive? Or will they run when they learn her secrets?

This book is set in the A Monstrous World series. It's an interconnected standalone that features a new female main character. It was designed so that you can jump in here if you prefer, but you'll likely get more enjoyment listening in order. It's Nadia's complete romance. No cliffhanger!

Great mix of romance, steam, and plot!

I really enjoyed Nadia’s story. It’s the most different out of this series, but it fills in some more gaps of the other two, while expanding on a cool world! As always, the narration was very good!! Idk if there will be more to this world, but I loved Jillian’s take on PNR/monsters

My favorite of the series so far

I'm devouring this series! And I'm loving every second! I don't know why I've pushed these books off for so long. Especially with how much I love Jillian West's omegaverse books!

Jillian West has always impressed me with her writing, but the world-building in this particular book was incredible! The way she builds each location and helps you envision every encounter these characters run into had me questioning if I was watching a movie or listening to an audiobook! It's perfectly described.

I'm also blown away by the way she's handled introducing each species and how they coexist. I honestly have no idea how to describe how cool this series has been!

I was so excited when I found out it was Nadia's book next! I loved her spicy adventurous side. As you can imagine as a Blood witch she was a very feisty FMC. But she also had the most tender side. Especially when it came to the people she cared about. And helping others that she had the power to save.

We also got another incredible pack full of different shifters and monsters. The way Jillian had built these packs is perfect. They are beautifully balanced! And the relationship between each of them is so much fun to read about. This pack was probably my favorite so far! Each of them were just so complex, but so well-balanced. First, we had Echo a vampire with a very unfortunate past he's trying to escape. I loved his playful side so much! Then we had Ridge an alpha wolf shifter who allows his overprotective wolf to come out and play from time to time. We also get a DELICIOUS "you better run" scene between him and Nadia! It was sooo hot! Then there was Knight a sin eater and Wraith a Reaper. They, unfortunately, had a pull to another realm that only allowed them to come to Nadia when she called! But if she called these two came running. I loved the relationship between Knight and Wraith!! But even though these guys aren't with Nadia nearly as much as they would like to be we still got some unbelievable spice scenes with them in it!

I had so much fun listening to Nadia's harem come together! Swoon!!!

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
Duet Narration
Narrated by Melissa Moran and Michael Gallagher

I'm looking forward to continuing this series, but sad to say goodbye to these two narrators. They have been such a joy to listen to while I've binged this series! I'm still so blown away by Michael's ability to switch from one accent to another. And the more books I listen to the more I'm floored. He has brought every single one of these men in this series PERFECTLY to life. Each having their own voice and accent. And has zero issue switching from one character to another in seconds. It's so impressive! I need more of Melissa's audiobooks in my life. I've fallen in love with her as a narrator through this series! She did such an incredible job on all the FMC's voices, but I think her as Nadia was my favorite! She nailed Nadia's feisty, but tender personality! I'll be looking out for more of her audiobooks in the future!

No Brainerd 5 star

Monsters Den has always been an all time favorite of mine. Of course, everything Jillian writes I'm absolutely obsessed with. There's nothing to not love about the book or audio. The narrators are phenomenal. The accents are on point. There's so much enthusiasm to the reading that the story just pops. Jillian is always a one click, always heck yes. Read/listen to the book. You won't be sorry.

👍

I do enjoy this series. I like the storyline and that it’s multiple pov. Duet narration(with the perfect voices)really gets you into the story. I wish author would start the next generation books like alluding to in the epilogue of this book ;) hint hint lol A+ work author :)
I hope someday to see the script flipped with a fmc who’s an alpha and maybe a male omega with some yummy male sub female dom scenes…hey a girl can wish lol. 10/10 recommend.

“Gods, Nadia. I want to devour you. Eat you alive. Claim you as mine.”

📚 Book Review 📚
Jillian West sure knows how to deliver a light-hearted, spicy monster romance! I love knowing that going in, it will be low on angst and high on smut! Such an easy read.

There is excellent world-building and character development for all of Nadia’s mates. I’m always a fan of mixed species packs. She acquires a vampire, a wolf shifter, and two demons to lavish her with love.

I enjoyed cameos of my favorite characters from the earlier two books. Their stories are tightly intertwined, so I recommend reading them in publication order for the best experience.

This is fast burn with copious amounts of MF and MFM+ scenes. There is some primal chasing, claiming bites, hole fillings, knots, and even a heat scene. It wouldn’t be a monster romance without at least one of the males having a breeding kink – we get all four wanting to breed their mate.

I highly recommend this series of interconnected standalones. I hope Jillian continues to add stories to this world.

Fantastic!

Another stellar book from the amazing Jillian West! She NEVER disappoints. I loved the storyline, excitement, spice, and personalities in this story. Give me all the Ridge and Wraith IYKYK, swoon! So excited to see more of Athos! I just can’t get enough of this series…let’s be honest, of anything Jillian West writes! In addition to this being a fantastic book, the narrators are incredible! They bring the characters to life in a way reading of the page can’t achieve. Absolutely smashed it!

Her True Heart’s Desire

Nadia’s story felt like it was a long time coming, especially after all the little teases from the 1st two books. It totally lived up to all my expectations though, and went ahead & blew them out of the water 🤯 All the heat, humor, passion, romance, danger & love get brought to vivid life in this duet narration. Michael & Melissa do such an amazing job with all the characters, and making sure they all have a distinct vibe that matches their personalities. I will definitely be listening to this (and the whole series) over & over again ❤️
