Monster Island

Rate this book
Welcome to Monster Island, the deadly televised competition where felons, ex-military, and anyone crazy or desperate enough is dropped on an island of monsters. Winner takes all if anyone can survive.

I’m a bad girl—a convicted armed bank robber. It isn’t the pardon, fame, or riches I’m after though. It’s the monsters themselves. I’ve got a mighty hunger.

However, I might get more than I can handle when a grumpy green giant sets his red eyes on me.

Expect this action monster romance novella to include:

massive size difference
strong FMC and MMC
fast paced action
lots of mean green milk

Author Note: This is a slightly expanded version of the short story in Monstrous Desires Anthology published February 2022.

**2/5 stars**

Premise: I’m a bad girl—a convicted armed bank robber. It isn’t the pardon, fame, or riches I’m after though. It’s the monsters themselves. I’ve got a mighty hunger. Pretty much, this one girl who's such a super badass is sent to a Monster Island, filled with blood thirsty monsters, for a TV survival show. To win the show, you have to be the last one standing, but Sammie has another goal: to get f*cked by a monster. When she meets Thracker, the biggest and meanest ogre on the island, she hits the jackpot.

I don't understand how this novella has so many good reviews. I was expecting something really cool and hot but was only met with an anime over-the-top hentai, parodying Hunger Games. I could forgive the dumb plot as it was obviously just a setup for the heroine's goal to happen. But I can't forgive the characters who were so unlikable, especially Sammie. She was literally a walking pet-peeves of mine; an obnoxious self-proclaimed badass. She was one-dimensional and just plain annoying. As for Thracker, nothing about him was hot. And most of all, his sheer size (10ft) was just a put-off for me. Their size difference just made everything so unbelievably stupid that I couldn't enjoy any of the smut, which could've been great had Thracker been a third of his size smaller.

I could feel my pelvic bones shifting, spreading slightly-Sammie (Why can I imagine the bones cracking? How is this supposed to be hot?


All I needed was a man with two dicks, a bulge, and who grunted when he used me like a flesh toy-Sammie (Wow what great life aspiration..)


I can't help but think this author is a big troll. There's no way she was serious writing this. I didn't like it. The conclusion of the story was so weird too. It was entertaining, maybe? I guess? Also the epilogue wasn't really an epilogue. Introducing some random character? It was confusing, didn't conclude anything to Sammie and Thracker's story. The relationship between them was just lust and blood. And a big waste of my time.

Sammie gets thrown onto this reality TV show called Monster Island. It's about convicts being led to slaughter basically on this island full of monsters. But Sammie has another goal in mind than just surviving. She wants to get with a monster!

This was an entertaining, short read! I was even cackling at some moments!

I was in monster territory aka my own little red light district of desires.

Monster Island is a deadly reality show where criminals and convicts can go to compete for a prize and a fresh start. No one has ever won it but that doesn’t stop Sammie from going because she doesn’t care about the prize - she just wants to bang a monster. Luckily for her, Thracker (a 10ft tall Ogre with 2 🍆’s), wants to bang a human. The showrunner’s aren’t exactly pleased with the new direction their show is going 🤣

This is one of those books where it just does what it says on the tin. Deadly competition - check! Tons of monster fuckery - double check! It’s fast and exciting and shockingly sexy. I ate this up and can only hope there’s more to come on this island. 5⭐️4🌶️

I received an advanced copy for review - all opinions are my own.

What I expected:
* Funny bits based on the sheer absurdity
* Ridiculous monster spice

What I got:
* Funny bits based on the sheer absurdity
* Ridiculous monster spice

I do want to add that while I expected the spice to be over the top ridiculous in its size difference, it was also to a point that was more uncomfortable than funny to me personally. Like it went from hot to painful maybe halfway through the scene. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

That epilogue sucked. It didn't really add anything of value to the story imo, it's not relevant, and kinda low-key ruined the funny vibe for me. I'd recommend not bothering to read the epilogue.

Get ready for a wild romp across Monster Island, where convicted felons and thrill seekers alike can gain notoriety and easily fluff their bank accounts— if they can successfully outrun bloodthirsty monsters. For most, money, fame, and freedom are enough of an incentive, until one comes seeking something more…carnal. Quick and entertaining, this cheeky, f!lthy book by Beatrix Hollow is everything you need in a monster smüt story. Hold on tight!

This extended short story is filled with all manner of mayhem, and at the center of the storm lies Sammie, a woman that knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to take it, and Thracker, a massive ogre with a filthy mouth and some *extra* anatomy. Sassy, IDGAF attitudes blended with intense desire and very specific fantasies, these two are a match made in heaven. Both morally gray, they’ll do whatever it takes to get their way.

I’ll be real with you here, this is monster er0tica at its finest. We’re talking ‘how does that even work’ over-the-top outrageousness, and I ate it up with glee. Low plot, high smüt, fast burn/insta-lüst, extreme size difference (understatement) along with copious amounts of green batter, you couldn’t ask for more. Steamy doesn’t even begin to cover it.

This story is such a great concept that has plenty of room for expansion. While Thracker may be the biggest and baddest on the island, other beasties deserve some love, too! This was a fun read that ended too soon, and I would absolutely love to read more. Also, I found a certain side character to be an incredible addition, and I’d love to see him get his moment in the spotlight as well. All in all, another great one from Hollow. I loved it.

This was an absolutely wild ride 😂 Definitely check the content notes for TWs because it’s violent, gory, and extremely “ogre” — and not the fun Shrek kind of ogre lol.

You’ll really need to suspend belief for this one because it goes to “unrealistic anime-pr0n belly bulge” levels of impossible size difference; like. She should’ve d!ed ☠️ honestly, lmao. There is no magical stretching or healing or anything like that, just a girl with a mission to check of her biggest life aspiration: f*cking a monster. And an ogre with two enormous 🍆🍆 ready to fulfill her dreams of being a human sleeve. 🙈

It was an entertaining read and Beatrix Hollow delivers on exactly what she promises to. If you know what you’re going in to I think you’ll enjoy the read; if you’re hopping in blind, well… good luck! 🫡

B, if you’re reading this I want a Lapis Lane spin off, he can find his very own monster & apologize to Sammie for judging her lmao 😉

This book was the epitome of a crazed monsterfucker and it was awesome. Sammi is in an equivalent of the hunger games with the goal to fuck a monster. Everyone else wants to survive and win a clean slate and cash. It’s hilarious and ridiculous.

Spice: 4/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

“I was in monster territory aka my own little red light district of desires. No one came to the island except the contestants. It was a guaranteed death. Which meant it was time to finally snatch my heart’s desire—a meaty monster cock.”

💚 I just want to start off by saying that when I saw that Beatrix Hollow was making an extended story of her short story from the Monstrous Desires Anthology I SCREAMED. I had loved that short story so much and I really feel like my prayers were answered with this one 😭

“I think I loved him. All I needed was a man with two dicks, a bulge, and who grunted when he used me like a flesh toy.”

💚 Short, steamy, and full of action 😉 Monster Island exceeded my expectations, and is quite frankly the definition of a monster lovers wet dream. Sammie is literally me she knew what she wanted and she wasn’t leaving that island until she got it!! So good thing she met our giant ginger ogre, Thracker, with the same life goal 🙊 I seriously loved her and all her antics 😂 Hugely recommend to all my monster lovers out there!!

Oh wow um.. so I’ve read losts of monster romances but none quite like this! It was fast paced and dirty (but in a good way) if you’re looking for plot then this story isn’t it.
Sammie is going to monster island for one reason only.. and that’s to bump uglies with a monster. Thracker has always wanted to *do* a human so I guess it’s a match made in heaven! The spice is good and different, but he’s so much bigger than her that honestly she should’ve died when they bumped uglies.
But Beatrix does it again with any other monster romance and i would totally read it if she decided to make it an actually full length stand-alone

This was something all right. Over the top, graphic, titillating and action packed. Just this side of too much. I was thoroughly entertained the entire time. Hunger games meets monster lovers? Sign me up. This is for all the monster lovers out there that fantasize about unabashedly freaky and being double stuffed to their heart’s content. 4/5 would I read it again? Likely. But I’m a monster lover. 😉

I will forever pick up a Beatrix Hollow book because I love her style. But, this one is my least favorite of her works. In my opinion, the writing felt incomplete. And the plot took a few too many odd turns for me to find it enjoyable😔.

Think hunger games meets monsters with the addition of sex. I enjoyed it a lot! It’s a quick paced hot read about an ogre and the girl who makes it her mission to have sex with him while also trying to escape the other monsters trying to kill her.

Went into this expecting pure monster smut and that’s exactly what I was given.

The character banter was great and the spice was spicing. And I was continuously cracking up while reading Sammie’s POVs.

Perfect quick read for green ogre fun 💚

So that happened. I mean gotta love an FMC who goes after what she wants. This has a hunger games feel to it if the hunger games didn't have a plot and was all smut. I enjoyed it very much. I will be reading more by this author

OMG this books brings all the smut. I loved the idea of this and will have to check other books out with this type of story. It starts with her parachuting onto monster islands and then has a journey and one series spice se& scene. It was well written and really enjoyed it.

A monstrous competition where competitors go to an island full of monsters where they compete to stay alive to win a grand prize.

However, what happens if a competitors prize is actually a monster itself?

Well thats the case for Sammie in this novella where she encounters an Ogre on the island called Thracker and so the monstrous spice begins!

I'm giving this 5 stars as the story was a short but fun read that was also quite wholesome and spicy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (5/5)

Are you in need of a quick read to cleanse your palette after that dark romance? Are you looking for something heavy on the smut and light on the plot? Do you like big (like... big, big) green men with double the anatomy? I'm talking about x2 🍆. Look no further, because 𝔐𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔯 ℑ𝔰𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡 might be for you! 

I hope you read that in your best Billy Mays voice, as I intended. 😉

𝔐𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔯 ℑ𝔰𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡 is a novella about Sammie, a convicted felon given the chance to win her freedom by competing in a Hunger Games meets Survivor-style competition tv show set on an island of monsters. Little do the show creators know, she's there with an ulterior motive... To bed the biggest and baddest monster she can find, whether it kills her or not. Thracker is that big and bag monster, an ogre set on eviscerating every human that crosses his path. That is until Sammie.

This was such a fun read! Quick, but with excellent spice and action-packed adventure. If you go into this knowing that it's smut over plot then I think you'll have a good time. I loved how Thracker changed from "I'm going to k!ll everyone" to "touch her and d!e." 🥵 I can't resist when the big bad monster becomes a simp for his woman. And Sammie is the epitome of a badass FMC.

Beatrix Hollow, is this really an AU "Hulk x Black Widow" fanfic? Because that's who I kept thinking of while reading, and I'm here for it if it is!

Thank you, Beatrix Hollow, for sending me this ARC in exchange for an honest review! As always, my opinions are 100% my own.

"Welcome to Monster Island."

"I'm a bad girl-a convicted armed bank robber. It isn't the pardon, fame or riches I'm after though. It's the monsters themselves. I've got a mighty hunger."

Sammie is 1 of 21 new contestants on the show, Season 4, all competing for a chance to be the best and for their freedom. No survivors have come out of this yet. Only, Sammie, has only one want on this island. It isn't to slaughter as many monsters as she can... Her dream goal is to have wicked amazing s e x with a monster. With their big appendages, it was all she could think about. Even running for her life, the thought made her as wet as can be.

When she meets Thracker, the meanest, greenest Ogre on the island. Everything changes. Their desires are the same, only for each other. This match made in Monster Paradise just got a whole lot steamier.

When Sammie is declared winner, her final recorded moments set off a chain of events no one predicted. Will Sammie and Thracker be able to stay together? Will they bring another season to Monster Island? Will Sammie be enough for Thracker?

The ending came up too fast, but I did love everything about how it ended. This book was steamy and quick to the point. Monster Romance at its finest. Another great read from Beatrix Hollow.

*Overall 5/5
*Heat? 5/5
*Fast Burn
*Dual first person POV
*Quick Read
*Ends on HFN

Honest ARC Review: If you’re looking for a super quick monster romance read that is wild then look no further. This short story is packed full with crazy spice, an unhinged human, and a ferocious berserker ogre. Sammie is a criminal who was selected to be part of a reality show called Monster Island. Competitors are dropped on an island full of monsters and challenged to survive. Most people are fighting for the cash and fame but not Sammie. She’s got one goal and that’s to find a big bad monster and take them for a ride. She finds a gigantic green ogre with red eyes, tusks, and something huge under the loincloth he wears. Thrasher is the top predator and relishes killing the weak humans who visit his island. But when he sees the tiny human woman he decides to seduce her instead of kill her. Most humans are horrified and scared out of their mind when they see him but not Sammie. He becomes fond of the human and decides he wants to keep her and protect her. I loved how confident and wild Sammie was. She’s tough, funny, horny, and just plane awesome. If you are into smut heavy stories with major size difference, “it’s not going to fit,” possessiveness, belly bulge, double the equipment, and a wild fun ride then check this book out.

Tw: violence, guns, murder,
👉 Knotting
👉 Breeding Kink
👉 Game Show
👉 Two massive 🍆

Monster Island is game show where they drop off convicts off on an island filled with monsters and the last one standing wins. The convicts are able to be free as well as win a half of million dollars. Great motivation right? Well Sammi is also has another motivation to be in it and that is to meet her life long goal of fucking a monster! She will do anything to get what she wants. Great news! There is an ogre there who also has the same life long goal of fucking a human. Thracker isn’t letting his little human get away and he will keep her as long as he can.

This book was short but it felt longer than it actually was because of how jam packed it was with action. Besides the whole monster fucking, there is actual murder, blood, and violence on the island too. I didn’t expect this book to be so funny but kudos to Sammi and her determination to 👏get👏fucked👏 I also absolutely love her and Thracker! Thracker is obsessed with fucking a human and now he is making her his mate. Absolutely enthralled by her and it’s adorable. This book came as a recommendation by Yulie and I can’t wait to read more from Beatrix Hollow!
