Monsters in Hollywood #5
A Monster and a Gentleman
The heat he brings isn’t movie magic. It’s real.
Monsters in Hollywood , Book 5
Cali knows exactly what will happen if her latest movie fails. It won’t just destroy her directing career and company, Calypso Productions. It might mean global war, and the extinction of an entire race of beings—the monsters.
The last thing she can afford is distraction in the form of a midnight-haired, caramel-skinned monster who can—literally—bring on the heat.
Seling enjoys humans, and not, as some have suggested, as a snack. As one of the stars of a movie that will allow his people to come out of hiding, he especially enjoys watching the movie’s intensely focused, human director.
After one particularly frustrating day on the set, Cali and Seling give in to a blistering night of pleasure. Seling wants more; Cali isn’t ready to risk her heart. But it all may become moot when someone leaks raw footage that could incite the very panic they’re trying to avoid.
And the only way to find the culprit is to unleash a monster so dangerous that it’s like bringing a nuclear bomb to a knife fight.
This title contains a strong-willed woman, a banshee (no, they’re not the same person) and two men who know how to please their women.

Two for one!!
With this story we see Cali's story unfold. In the past let's face it, she has been a bitch, but she as her reasons. Cali is the director for our kick ass monster movie, and she tells it like it is.
Acting in the movie is Seling, a monster that Runako and Margo saved in book 3, he wants Cali.
Along side Cali and Seling's story we see the story of Oren and Mauve. Oren is a editor working on the film who is coming back from a troubled past, Mauve is the first female monster that we see and she has come to see who has leaked the news about the monsters. There's humor, in the fact that these big bad monsters are afraid of what seems like this small woman, but Mauve a very old and powerful monster who has her roots in our Irish folklores, she is a banshee able to see the past, the future, and know when one is close to death.
It is so amazing how Lila manages to write what is basically two stories simultaneously and she also lets us see behind the scenes of the movie which is great.
I love these books, I know I say it every time but it's true. Lila is able to show that these monsters are just like humans with the fear of their homes being lost, their need for love, and their awkwardness when a man or woman meets the "one". It is a whirlwind of emotions and I don't want the ride to end.

This was a big, big disappointment. Granted, I did miss reading book 4 because I was confused which book came next. And now, I really don't even want to read that one. I purchased both of them on the strength of her previous books. Sure, I wasn't too fond of Micheal's story, but the others (especially the first)did very well, to me.
But...man oh man, this is textbook classic rushing. She tried to fit 3 1/2 stories into one which didn't do the main story any favors nor justice and meant that all of them were unsatisfying from just about the second they were introduced.
Who's Oren? Don't know and don't care - why are we even hearing about him? To what is the purpose of his presence? Overall, he played a role so miniscule that on a good day, she wouldn't have had to mention his presence on accident or as an aside. And let me say, his story just pissed me right off. It may have been different if he mattered in some way, or even if his story was interesting.
It was not. Again - whyyyy??
She also spent so much time on needless back stories (mainly Oren's) that there was no room for the rest of the stories or characters to develop. In the end, I didn't give a hell about any of the characters. I won't read the next one.

I would have to agree with R A Butler, I did not connect with Cali or Seling and fast forwarded their story to read about Maeva & Oren. I enjoyed the first 4 books and am looking forward to the next.
