From Sofia Rose comes a Fortune Records Omegaverse. Monsters and Humans live apart in this urban fantasy series centered around a record label, the diverse cast of Monsters and Humans that work there, and the mates they've found along the way.
A new start for Hyacinth…
Hyacinth is starting her first job as a sound tech, and it's with the illustrious Fortune Records label. She knows that her life is about to get an upgrade, but what she didn't expect was the effect her new coworkers would have on her.
Two potential love interests…
In Book Two of the series, Monsters and Humans are now working together in their joint studio space. With tensions running high, Hyacinth is drawn to two beautiful Monsters.
She needs to make a decision…
Hyacinth meets a purple haired Electro Witch music producer, Addison, and has an instant spark. The Succubus, Liliana, is the Head of PR and is known to be difficult to work with has been nothing but nice to Hyacinth - and maybe that’s just as interesting. Can she come to terms with her identity and follow through?
Aster is a cozy, low stakes, why choose romance packed with spice! The Fortune Records series are interconnected standalones. Please see the author's website for content warnings and the full tropes list.
Loved getting back into this world! We're back at Fortune Records and more humans are starting to interact and socialize with monsters which makes for some fun pairings.😏 I loved reading Hyacinth spending time with Liliana and Addison. It's very insta attraction so things do move quickly. I wish we had more of them all three together because my oh my....those spice scenes at the end were HOT HOT HOT. I want to be snuggled and fed in a cozy nest....
I can't wait to see where we go with the world building and the relationship between human and monsters in future books. There are still some humans who are not as open minded as Hyacinth and personally I feel like those people can go step on Legos. There was perhaps a little hinty hint at the end of this book as to what the next one might be and I'm VERY excited about the possibility of that romance.
spicy sapphic witch x succubus x human romance. such a cute story!!! i loved these three and their dynamic sooooo much. the characters feel fully fleshed out and well rounded. and the spice was absolutely delicious.
”She looks scary. But in the way that I would thank her for killing me.”
I loved the characters in this book so much that I’m fiending for art of them—especially Liliana (referred to above) 😻
This is the perfect length for a cozy, low-stakes romance (human x monster x monster) and I never felt like it dragged on or was under-explained! Also such a cute coming out story with authentic dialogue and genuine emotions 🥹❤️ I want a story on the fmc’s friend/roommate though; I’m obsessed with her just from the tidbits we got haha “so I dumped him” YES QUEEN 💅🏻
Pick this up if you wanna dip your toes into sapphic monster romance with 10/10 spice!
༄˖°.🎶🔮🌙.ೃ࿔*:・ There is just something about this series that feels like a warm blanket. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5)
The Fortune Records books continue to surprise me with how cozy and comforting they are — and Aster might be my favorite vibe-wise so far. It made me giggle. It made me smile. And even though I’m not always reading monster romances, this series handles it in a way that never feels fetishizing or over-the-top.
✎ᝰ The Setup
Hyacinth is a human sound tech starting a new job at Fortune Records, fully aware that Monsters exist — she’s just never had to work with them before. Determined to stay professional, organized, and emotionally neutral, she quickly finds that impossible thanks to two very different coworkers:
Liliana, an Alpha succubus PR powerhouse who runs the studio like a war zone — sharp heels, sharper fangs, and pure dominant energy.
Addison, a soft-spoken Omega producer with a chaotic desk, violet braids, and a quietly magnetic presence — also a witch, which I loved as a “monster” classification.
Between studio chaos, flirty banter, and feelings Hyacinth absolutely did not plan for, she finds herself caught in something tender, tangled, and surprisingly gentle.
⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ Characters & Dynamics
Liliana was hands down my favorite character. She’s hot, dominant, confident, and fully a bad bitch — but not without depth. I loved watching her soften without losing her edge.
Addison was also a standout for me, especially as a person. The witch-as-monster concept was genuinely interesting, and her calm, grounding presence balanced the dynamic beautifully.
Hyacinth herself was easy to root for — sweet, overwhelmed, and quietly brave as she navigates her queer awakening and her first experiences with Monsters and poly dynamics.
♡✧˚ ༘ ⋆。♡˚ Romance & Spice
This was my first F/F/F poly romance, and I thought it was handled really well. The relationship development felt intentional and warm rather than rushed or purely physical.
It’s definitely spicy — but in a soft, cozy way. Sensual without being scandalous, and emotionally driven rather than shock-focused.
🌶️ Spice level: moderate, warm, and very approachable.
⋆。°·☁︎ Final Thoughts
I gave Aster three stars not because I didn’t enjoy it — I really did — but because that’s just where it landed for me based on my usual rating criteria. It didn’t "blow me away," but it absolutely delivered comfort, charm, and heart.
If you’re looking for a lighthearted, cozy-yet-spicy queer monster romance with found family vibes and studio shenanigans, this series (and this book especially) is an easy recommendation.

Hyacinth is just starting her first job for the new Monster/Human production firm "Fortune Records". Starting a new job is challenging enough but when she feels drawn to not only one, but two of her co-workers, things start to get a bit difficult. Both monsters are open to Hyacinth exploring her new found attraction to females, but both feel, that there's something missing in their relationship. Will they be able to work out old grudges for the sake of becoming a happy throuple? Wow! This was my first female only why choose and it didn't disappoint. Hyacinth and her monster mates are truly perfect for each other. Even though there are some obstacles to overcome for the three of them, they work together to make sure everyone gets their happily ever after. Hyacinth is just the most adorable girl everrrr and I loved how open she was to explore and accept her mates with all their differences. Go pick up the "Fortune Records"-Series if you like fates mates, human/monster pairings, phenomenal 🌶️, cosy books with low angst and lovely characters and pet frogs named Albert 🐸. Book 1 "Snapdragon" is out now, "Aster" will be out on July 26th 💕
Man, where do I even start with this absolute gem? I just dove into this book and couldn’t help but fall head over heels for its wild, heartwarming ride. The story kicks off with Hyacinth, a super sweet rookie at Fortune Records, where not only does she navigate the ups and downs of a new gig, but she also finds herself caught in a delightful, unexpected love triangle with two irresistibly charming monsters.
What really makes this story pop is how effortlessly it blends the quirky with the cozy. Hyacinth and her monster mates aren’t just sizzling with chemistry—they’re real, flawed, and utterly lovable. They each have their own baggage, but instead of letting old grudges hold them back, they work together to overcome obstacles and build something truly magical. It’s like watching your favorite TV series, where every episode leaves you smiling, laughing, and eagerly waiting for the next twist.
Sofia Rose has crafted a vibrant Monster Records universe that feels both fantastical and familiar. The characters practically jump off the page, inviting you to join their fun, messy, and oh-so-sincere journey toward finding their happily ever after. If you’re into fated mate stories with that perfect dash of spice and a whole lot of heart, this one’s an absolute must-read.
Trust me on this: if you loved the energy of Snapdragon, you’re in for a treat. This book is not just a romance—it’s a celebration of love in all its wonderfully complicated forms. Grab a cozy blanket, get comfy, and prepare to be completely swept away by this deliciously unique monster romance.
⭐️ 3.5 - I had such high hopes for this second book after Snapdragon and it fell flat for me. I liked the dynamics between Hyacinth, Addison, and Liliana, I liked the arc they went through and they had very good, strong communication. But, it was very fast paced, and very spicy very quick. I thought this would be similar in pacing with the first one, but by 30% they were kissing and having spicy scenes. For over 60% of this book, the three weren't even officially together, it was just Hyacinth seeing both of them separately (with knowing consent from the other two, no cheating here). And when it was "revealed" who she was seeing, suddenly we find out that Addison and Liliana hate each other. That point came out of nowhere and threw me off, and then they made up very fast and just got over it. Granted, it did make sense, they fought years and years ago and were ready to move on, but it just felt a bit sudden. The ending was pure spice and all of the spicy scenes were the exact same. They only did three things over and over and over again. I was entertained but it just fell flat, especially after the first one.
*received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*
If you're looking for a faced paced storyline with that's both equal spicy and sweet, look no further. We got our human, we got our succubus, and we got our witch. Quite honestly that whole combination is what drew me to this book in the first place. I LOVED Hyacinth, she's my twin for real. None athletic, can't drive, loves female monsters?? Check, check, and check. Although it could just be me, but I did feel that some plot points were written in some ways that felt TOO fast. We meet hyacinth and she quickly develops a relationship with Addison and Liliana, but that was around 30-40 pages in. Truthfully how much can you know about each other by then to say "I'm fine with dating both of them"? But besides that the whole spice scenes were written well with constant consent and safe words being used.
This book was sooooo cute! I loved all three FMCs ; Hyacinth, Liliana , and Addison , I definitely cannot pick a favorite . I especially love how Liliana and Addison were so understanding with Hyacinth needing time and needing to explore this new part of herself . I just love a relationship with good open communication , it is very nice to see this represented . With that being said the relationships moved fast , which makes sense cause it is such a short book .
This book was very spicy , but in the best way possible ! Sofia Rose definitely knows how to write spice .
My one critique is that I had hoped we would see more development in the world and with humans and monsters moving toward accepting each other . I loved this aspect of book one so much I just wish we had more of this in book 2 . Regardless I cannot wait for book 3 ! This was such a quick , fun read
I really enjoyed this second installment in the Fortune Records series. An easy-to-read, feel-good, monster/human, FFF story, with plenty of spice and an HEA.
This is the story of Hyacinth (human), Addison (electro witch), and Liliana (succubus/Alpha). Hyacinth meets Addison and Liliana separately and has a connection with both separately, and both females are aware and ok with Hyacinth seeing someone else…until they both realize who the someone else is. Addison and Liliana have some history and have to choose to find a way forward to be with Hyacinth.
You don’t have to read Snapdragon to follow this story, but some of this book runs concurrently with the storyline in Snapdragon, and there is some character crossover.
If you enjoy sweet and spicy, why-choose, all female, monster/human stories that move at a quicker pace, then don’t skip Aster!
(I received an advanced copy for free and I am leaving my honest review voluntarily)
Sofia did it again! Another cute story in the Fortune Records universe, but absolutely not lacking in hot, hot, hot spice! In this one, we explore the dynamic between Hyacinth (a sweet little human), Liliana (a hot succubus), and Addison (an electro-witch). I love how the focus is really around Hyacinth's experience and introduction to the Monster world and dating monsters. Both Liliana and Addison put her needs first and prioritize her comfort and learning who she is in these types of relationships. I do wish there was more of all of them together, rather than predominantly Hyacinth/Addison or Hyacinth/Liliana. Both monster females take such good care of their little human and ensure her constant consent and comfort with safe words.
If you love sapphic sweet low angst romance then this may be the book for you!
Hyacinth is so sweet and bubbly. I could picture her all curls and smiles playing her videos games in her safe space. I loved her awakening and how supportive her entire group was of her.
Addison was amazing too! She definitely seemed to be more level headed and open with her sexuality. I loved that she was a witch but over something specific and the way she used that power? Jealous!
Lilliana is mommy forever. Sorry not sorry. A tall succubus red head? That’s a dream. Literally. We love a confident career driven woman. Her instincts leading her to take care of her girls was beautiful.
I loved this throuple very much and I’m so sad it’s over!
I absolutely loved the characters in this look. Liliana was an absolute dommy mommy, Addison was smart and sweet and Hyacinth was probably the most adorable FMC there is. I enjoyed their chemistry and thought that they matched well. My only critique was that I wished we would have had MORE of the 3 of them together. I felt like we just could have used more of them all as a triad, but maybe I'm biased because I liked them a lot! The spice was spicy and the sweet moments were sweet. I really enjoyed my time with this book and look forward to our next installment! ❤️ ----- "I feel complete. This is the path that we are supposed to be on, I feel so greatful that I have them both."
I could not wait for this book!! This was so cute.
This book was about a polyamorous relationship between human x monster x monster. A miscommunication between the monsters causes a strain between Hyacinth (the human) and the two monsters (Addison and Liliana). That is, until they make up...Lol. SO CUTE!!!
I loved the detail in this book. My favorite scenes were when Liliana was trying to win over Addison. They were so cute! Their history is where the miscommunication took place, and the way Liliana made up for it was so cute!
Also Alfred…I love that Addison and Liliana took the time to listen to their mate and learn about her beloved pet frog. Ahhh, so cute!!!
Aster is written with such vivaciousness and while reading, it felt like I was watching a tv series! I love the Monster Records universe that Sofia has come up with and it has carried on from Snapdragon. The characters just jump off the page as I’m reading. I’m really loving the details that are written for each character and their thoughts. Even the side characters feel like they’re leaving thoughts that are being said out loud. I love that this is a continuation of an awesome world built in Snapdragon but with different main characters!
Super cute sapphic monster read! This trio is so perfect! Not only are all three of them absolutely so hot, but each have their own personalities and quirks that are so different. The way that each monster female responds and dotes on their little human female is so sweet and cozy that it made me want to be Hyacinth for sure! And then the wlw spice was HOT!
In the end when they realize that this is a mated trio and not duo, it is so sweet and full circle. I loved the limited use of toys in this, the creative Shibari, and the use of TAIL!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
At first this story seemed lacking with the juvenile writing and Innocent Young Cutsy main character (don’t like that in an adult romance book) being slutted out double time, but when the backstory hit I was gasping at the POV change.
The two older love interests reconciling their past and missed connection… peak. I could have read the entire book just from Liliana or Addison’s perspective. I just wish Hyacinth was more appropriately aged in the narrative. Don’t get me started on the mommy thing //
This was super cute and I wish this was properly categorized. The setting brings us back to fortune and we see Sebastian and Flora again, but this time we get to meet these absolutely fabulous characters that were dynamic sides in the first book. This was well written if a bit fast toward the end. The speed still made sense, monsters are different than humans so it seemed logical if a bit rushed. The spice was good as was the communication and after care. I would have like to see more of the relationship between Lillian and Addison, but it was still great.
This book was adorable! A cute, short, easy to read monster romance!
Hyacinth, Addison, and Liliana are so amazing. I'm glad they were able to work everything out in the end to come together and be happy.
I wish we could've gotten a little more one on one time between Addison and Hyacinth in the build-up. And maybe a little more bonding time between the 3 of them before fully mating.
THIS WAS SO STINKIN CUTE. And hot. Good lord it was hot. I would like to get my own succubus mommy please and thank you.
This was my first FFF Why choose and it was AMAZING. I loved all the females and the dynamic they had. It was cozy with just enough angst and plot to keep me on my toes.
I just want to be cuddled and call Liliana Mommy. Is that too much to ask for? If you haven’t read Snapdragon by Sofia Rose yet you absolutely should! The Fortune Record series is becoming a favorite cozy romance series of mine. When I first saw Sofia was writing a FFF monster romance I knew I was going to be obsessed with it and it absolutely lived up to my expectations. I loved seeing this relationship come together, they’re perfect for each other! And the spice was 🥵🥵 these three are so hot together!
I adored this book a million times over. I have been searching for a good Sapphic monster romance for a while and I absolutely fell in love with this one.
While a shorter book, each character is thorough and very well put together, we get a great amount of time with each one, allowing the reader to get to know them personally and I really really enjoyed that. The plot depended on the relationship and was a little predictable but it did not stop me from loving the book as much as I did. Also, it's really refreshing to have a monster romance that isn't about action or some big plot, since most of the time a plot exists outside of the relationship thats building as well. I liked the coziness and I think it not only fit well with the book but their relationship too.
