This is the second book I’ve ever read with a FMC named Christina, and for that, this story had five stars in my heart💛
This was a short and spicy read, part of what appears to be a days-of-the-week dark monster romance series. This second book, Tuesday, didn’t have quite as catchy a hook as Monday did. With these super short stories, there’s really no time to development investment, so it comes down to enjoyment for me. The storyline on this one did make sense in the way it tied in the monster element, but just fell a little flat overall.
I did like the classic gothic-horror-castle vibes, though, mixed in with the monster romance. That combo worked.

Yuck
Did this Dr get her diploma from the same place the Dr from the Simpson's did? Cause she ain't too bright, first she asks to look around, they say ok but not now cause the rain is bad, spend the night you can go tomorrow, ok (the kid could be out in said rain) next day she goes out looking stays out a couple of hours, we have to go back the house the boss wants you to eat lunch with him ok, (kid could be hungry) It all was really sus I would have been running out of there, but she let herself get talked out of leaving, then she finally gets a brain and decides to confront him, oh and don't get me started on when she threw the maid under the bus. Really!! it's not very believable not very good.

Currently down a deep, freaky rabbit hole here..
Who am I kidding.
This hole is my home and I live here.
The freaky-Deaky one here is me, cause I'm all about these days of the week.

For a novella, this story moved slower than molasses in January. Drag, drag, drag. There's so much circular dialogue that it's dizzying. And tedious. And just simply padding for a story we all know the outcome to from Chapter 2.
The weirdest and most disconcerting thing about this story is the complete lack of urgency that a small child is MISSING. When the FMC starts having meals and sleepovers with the MMC while waiting for permission to look on this dude's estate, I almost pitched my phone at the wall. Seriously? There's a little kid missing, and the MMC is dithering and being cagey about letting people look for him. The FMC is even worse, chatting with the staff, walking around the mansion, having numerous repetitive conversations with the male lead, and having meals and sleeping over while waiting for the ok. This story couldn't decide between copying an old Hammer film or an episode of Dark Shadows. And why does your standard werewolf have six arms/legs? He was a werewolf who changed every night. I get this is a book about monsters, but this was a stock character. The FMC was a cardboard cutout.
I realize this is supposed to be a short story, but hoped for at least a little character development with some very hot spice. Instead, we got page after page of the same dialogue, a non-mystery, and some smokin hot $ex at the very end.
The spice was great but there was too little of it way too late. I'm kinda shocked by the high ratings here.

A child goes missing, last seen playing near a mansion that the town's people see as cursed. No one in town has the balls to go and search for the child there so Christina, the town doctor decides to go and search for the child at the mansion.
The first four chapters gave me 'Dracula-vibes', reminding me of the first mysterious night that Johnathan Harker slept in Dacula's castle. Yet it was in no way like Bram Stoker's Dracula. It did feel gothic and mysterious and held my attention in those chapters.
However, this is not a vampire story. The monster was interesting, and I will leave that part for you to discover. For a woman of science, the doctor seems a little stupid at times, but she is written well enough to keep me at least interested in the story. The story isn't bad, but I think it has the potential to be more. Still, I do believe it was a fun story and enjoyable. Teratophilia-geeks will enjoy it, so if the story seems interesting, have at it and read it.

This horror/suspense supernatural book could have been a 3-star read. Out of an entire village (that has a police force), the local doctor is the one who goes to an elusive outcast's estate to search for the missing child. Although there are several oddities beginning at her arrival, she stays. For a doctor, she seemed incredibly dense.
Her blatant disregard for her safety (and common sense) seems to existent in favor of progressing the story forward. I think there could have been more clever and thought-out ways to progress the plot without having her act like an idiot.
I am sort of familiar with this author, so I knew not to expect anything extensive. In fact, I purposely read novellas by this author whenever I'm in need of a quick, easy read that doesn't have too much depth. But I was still left disappointed by the FMC's actions.

A missing child, a spooky estate, and a lady who's determined to do her part in helping find him thanks to some past trauma and a driving desire to help everyone in need. Okay, maybe that last part was a bit of a stretch, but Christina is a doctor so she does the helping thing so maybe it's not that much of a stretch.
Anywho. Christina has heard the hushed rumors about the Ashcroft Estate and she doesn't want peoples' emotions to get the best of them (I think she was envisioning pitchforks and torches, idk) so she volunteers to go up to the big house and request they be allowed to search the grounds for the missing child. William Ashcroft is...not enthused by this request. He allows Christina to conduct a search, but doesn't want anyone else from the town on his land. Which might be a red flag or two, but Christina is determined and she accepts his terms.
Turns out William is hiding a little something. Well, it's a not-so-little something, really. A beast that prowls the halls of the manor and grounds. It has its sights set on the good doctor and she's not nearly as terrified of it as she probably should be.
A creepy manor, a beast who knows what it wants, a man who is caught between wanting to protect and claim, and a lady who is willing to embrace the terrifying once she understands what's at stake. *thumbs up*

A longer one from Blue this time.
I was about 50 pages into this a few weeks ago, and then Alchemised came out and I've been slowly torturing myself with that a bit each day. Just wanted to come back and finish something lighter, and I liked how this one started. (I know, monster romance being lighter, haha.)
A lot of monster romance requires the suspension of disbelief. I still like a solid plot, but it's one of the few instances where I'm not super bothered by the fact that the FMC makes some crazy allowances for the MMC or situation.
In this case, our FMC is a doctor in a small town, and a young boy goes missing. She--rather than the local PD--goes off to the nearby estate, which is entrenched in spooky rumors, to ask for permission to search the grounds. She then allows herself to be talked into staying the night, not immediately looking for the boy, taking these lunch breaks on the days she is allowed to search, etc. She's worried, but doesn't really balk at the staff and MMC telling her she can't go out at night, can't go in the rain, can't go here or there.
I won't go into much detail on the creature itself, so readers can discover him for themselves. The mansion is your typical one riddled in secrets, and serves as a good setting for this.
The spice is all late in the book, but it's decent.

When a child goes missing near the Ashcroft Estate, Dr. Christina Blackwood volunteers to help search the grounds. By day, she explores the sprawling property; in the evenings, she shares increasingly intimate dinners with the estate’s mysterious owner, William. From their very first meeting, there’s an undeniable connection that deepens with each passing night. Everything changes when a large creature tries to break into Christina’s room. Believing William is hiding a dangerous animal, she confronts him, only to learn that he is the beast. That’s when the story takes a turn into something strange, spicy, and weird. I’m a sucker for both Gothic romance and monster romance, so the blend of the two was an instant win for me. And yes there’s most definitely knotting. Despite its novella length, this story hit all the right moody, monstrous notes for me and is another great spooky season read.

Spicy shifter short story!
Loved this one! Spice doesn’t hit till about 70% through it, but when it hits, it hits HARD. 😈 - a missing child in a small town that whispers about William Ashcroft and his large gated estate on the north side of town. Dr.Christina Blackwood goes to the estate in hopes of finding the missing child and helping keep the peace between the superstitious townspeople and Mr Ashcroft. However, although he’s adamant that the child is not on his property, Christina knows he’s hiding something. There’s something very wrong and she intends to discover what he’s trying to keep from her… (contains knotting & size difference) Spice level: 3.5/5.

should be a 4 but
I must admit I enjoyed it.
This short story had a very gothic feel to it, almost like Sherlock Holmes meets the gargoyles meets the werewolves.
This was not as “scary” as the first in the series. It had more of a mystery feel to it, what with the missing child and the one woman search party going on. I didn’t like the part where there weren’t any bars/signal in the estate and people couldn’t reach the FML; do people not have landlines anymore?!
Other than that, this ended up actually being a sweet romance with some heavy monster spice.

So good and filthy
This author really knows how to write short, wonderfully filthy stories. I find a lot of authors can't do it. They usually can't built the world and characters enough to make it interesting. But this author can do it. All this authors books are interesting, with characters and sex
hot enough to light up your imigination.

Can’t wait for more.
This one dragged out the build up more than the first one. But when it turned on the heat…O. M. G. It just made it so much better. If you read a lot of monster romance, then you may expect that it can get lackluster. But this one will restore your faith in the genre. Very good.

I usually love books by this author, but this story was lacking. There was not much chemistry between William and Christina until the end.
This is one time the story should have been longer to give it more depth. Even the creature was lame. It was nothing more than a werewolf with an extra set of arms.
I hope the next book will be more in keeping with this author's usual style of writing.

For a longer (for this author) story it was just ok.
I cannot stand TSTL characters and this doctor was firmly in that category. So many things didn't make sense but were forced for the story and that took me out of the story.
the smut was decent.

Love a spooky, Gothic, wolfman tale
I’ve read Monday and Wednesday and decided to try this one out and I really enjoyed the spooky, gothic vibes. If you like a good horror mixed with definitive spice this is a great short read.

The good doctor discovered William family secret. He was the Beast. This dark monster romance story had a happy ending. The imagination of this author is amazing, a fun read.

The story was silly but the smut was hot.
FMC didn’t have any survival instincts, all her choices were laughable. So trusting and naive. But whatever, I still enjoyed reading it.
Quick fun read if all you want is something mindless and spicy.

Love the story & Smut.
The book had a good amount of plot and smut for a shorter book. I liked the build up and wish it was a little longer. Overall liked it though!
