One of my Kind: a demon slayer romance
Into every generation, three women are called to slay, to sing the demons to their doom.
According to the demon who’s blackmailing Monroe Kang, she’s always been killing her own kind.
Monroe has never really thought of it that way. She’s never thought of herself as half-demon, though she’s always known a demon contributed to her DNA by forcing himself on her mother, and she’s always hidden that fact. She’s always thought demons were monstrous and soulless, barely better than animals. She certainly never thought they were capable of blackmail.
As a member of The Trine, Monroe is an international pop sensation, but it’s just part of the job. She and the other members perform to fund their demon slaying. It’s a tradition that stretches back a thousand years.
Now, suddenly, everything seems confusing.
One thing she can always count on is the other members of The Trine. They’re all best friends. They sing together, slay together, and most especially snack together. Snacks are very important. So, together, they are going to get to the bottom of this demon scheme.
Monroe has to get close to the demon to find out his secrets. She has to pretend to be sympathetic to his side. It shouldn’t be easy. He’s cocky and insulting. Of course, he does have dark hair that falls in waves around his cheekbones and a deep, husky voice.
Not that she finds him attractive.
She does not.
And no matter what he says, she’ll never believe that she’s truly one of his kind.
For fans of K-Pop Demon Hunters who wish it was just a little more grown-up. This demon romance contains enemies-to-lovers action, besties, singing, tail play, mountains of carbs, horn kissing, kick-butt girl power, and a full helping of demon spice.

I want to start off by saying that I actually enjoyed this.
However - being realistic now. This feels very fanfiction instead of just 'inspired by'. I'm not sure what way the author was truly going. If it's meant to be a fanfiction, then I would change my rating.
The ending just felt very out there. To me, personally, I didn't feel like the story was ended great. I wished it would have went deeper in how everything ended up. But it just felt like the author got sick of writing it and wrote something.

I wanted to like it, I really did, but it honestly fell flat. A lot of repetition, basically the same sentences being said over and over again. Adults talking like they’re children— just hard to follow. I didn’t hate the characters but they needed more development and so did the story especially the ending which fell flat even more, just left you wanting to know how did things change. Like needing a more detailed explanation, not just a happily ever after. I’m rambling and probably not making sense.

This story was a riot to read. It mixes a bunch of different themes from a Kpop feel, monster hunting, forbidden romance, and demons to give a great read. I was hooked from the first chapter and had to see how the mash up would work and have to say it was well done and so much fun to read. A good baddie or two and great main characters and side characters to enjoy that added to all the fun and chaos. Just entertaining and fun.
