📖 All of Us Monsters by E. Barbee
Quick take: Lovely indie Romantasy debut by an author that I highly recommend checking out! Perfect for fans of no spice but amazing slow burn chemistry. Touches on political tyranny and rebellion and bravery - embracing the good in people even when they’re different than you.
⭐️ 5/5 stars - loved it
Beautiful author’s dedication
Tropes: fake engagement, werewolf paranormal, prophecy, journey/quest vibes, slow burn, touch her and die jealousy vibes
Made me cry ugly tears - it packed an emotional punch
Book 1 in a new series; ends with a cliff hanger - impatiently waiting for book 2!
Available in Kindle Unlimited (but the physical book has beautiful illustrations and a fun map inside!)
Proceed with caution ⚠️
Adopted family, (somewhat mild off-page) domestic abuse
A paid subscription costs less than a latte once a month. If my writing brings you joy, I’d appreciate you supporting my work!
I had the opportunity to meet the author on Indie Bookstore Day at a local bookshop in Camas, WA and snagged a beautiful signed copy. One of the many reasons I love living in the PNW is having access to the bookish world and getting to meet authors in person!
