About the author

Kelly Apple

71 books47 followers
Kelly Apple is a hardcore paranormal junkie with the bad habit of falling for damaged heroes. Finding (and writing) characters who make her heart break is one of her goals in life. She has a boy who can drink his weight in Mountain Dew and always tries to get her to play video games with him. She politely declines on account of all the voices in her head who are impatiently waiting for their stories to be told. Oddly, her two dogs have never tried to talk her into playing video games. They just expect belly rubs.

Kelly lives in sunny Northern California and she’s baffled by snow. Her flip-flop tan is something many dream about but few can achieve.

She reads, she writes, she tweets.

Ever wondered what it would be like to do it with big foot? How about a sexy mermaid whose junk pops out like a pez from a pez dispenser. Boy is this the book for you. As a proud monster f*cker reader this book was a great little collection of stories to wet the palette.
The main love interest falls in love with a forest guardian golden retriever type who sends her on a quest to screw other monsters while he does his obligatory procreate for his species piece. He claims this is so she can get a sense of what her options are and whether he truly is the monster for her. Let's be honest here though, who would give up tentacles that can please you in every way possible in addition to an unselfish lover?! Not me and certainly not her. After every round of coitus she compares it to her man's and decides while the d was good his is better. She however decides to soldier on and boinks every monster that crosses her path. (She's so unselfish doing this for her man!) When her latest lover informs her that her true love is probably being murdered by snusnu she starts asking the monsters to join her quest to save her lover. All the guys are ok with this and eagerly volunteer their services after sampling the kitty meow meow. Everyone gets a happy ending and there is a copious amount of bodily fluids and weird sexy times. What more is there to ask for?

Monster Mash

Ari has always known her interests wouldn't be accepted by anyone else. She tried dating "normal" guys but decided if that was all it was ever going to be, she'd pass. But then green arms grab her and spirit her into the woods. If monsters are real, well, things are definitely going to be getting a lot more interesting.

Spoilers ahead.
Sometimes you pick a random book at 3am and it turns out better than you thought. I mean, it is what it is, a quick fluffy erotica, but while the supposedly sexy times has me giggling more than anything (seriously, "honey pot", "lady lube"? I started skimming past them), the friendships built were rather interesting. I'm a mythology nut so I would have liked a little more about them. I wasn't too sure about the whole contract thing. Especially how it's carried out, but it's kind of accepted as a culture thing and not the same trauma a human would be unpacking. There's a not surprising reveal that explains a lot. It was... interesting, to say the least. I see there's a sequel, the dating service mentioned, with the friends she made being featured. I don't think I'm brave enough to go there yet, but I'll keep it in mind for the next round of insomnia.

A short story that gives alot of insight from the get go.
Actually love the spice level.
its interesting that the second book in the series is continued straight after the the first one.
looking forward to finishing this series.
im loving the different creatures and the spice is really good.
But I can't go higher than 3 stars. the spice level is amazing, just repetitive.

Palate cleanser for the win

I was fresh off the heels of a 6-book series when I picked this up. It was delightfully bingeable. Raunchy, ridiculous, and so very much fun. I’m locked in for the next installment! Although I desperately wish this was a why choose (because #moreismore), I’m living for the matchmaking aspect and can’t wait to read about it.

Absolutely Ari

The stories flowed . Each story was a quick read which I enjoyed. Kelly Apple is a great storyteller. Who knew Monsters could be so sweet and sexy. I can't wait to get into the Matchmaker series.

Great series

This is a great series. The stories are short and fast paced with plenty of action. There's all kinds of adventure within the pages of these stories. You never know what'll happen till it does.

Oddities abound

I have never read a series of stories quite like this. Very erotic, explicit and enervating. A lot of fun and camaraderie also. Best friends, great lover, romance…sort of, lol, good fun to read!

I had a lot of fun with this! One story flowed into another very nicely and by the end I was invested in the threads tying them all together.

If I had to quibble, it would be that the main character's characterization could be inconsistent at times. Otherwise, very enjoyable!

Strange

I admit, I bypassed the monster sex for the rest of the story. Friendship for other lonely creatures. I have a feeling about Ari's mother...

Monstrously good

Really enjoyed these Supernatural tales. A nymph makes sense. I can’t wait to find out what happens next for these big hearted (among other things) supernaturals.

Fun

Such a variety of monsters!
I wish the book had illustrations, the writing was descriptive but...
Lots of sexy times and a little itty bit of conflict.

A solid collection of short stories about wanting to bone all kinds of monsters. It was a fun and enjoyable read and the smut was pretty good. One grip with the book is that the main girl is very annoying at times

I LOVED Ari and her monsters! I can't wait to read about her next adventures! I couldn't put this down once I started. A beautifully well told story

Ari is a great MC she's fiesty and sexy and the different short stories link together well which is good as I generally don't enjoy shorts. The sex is fun and I enjoyed the twists, the ending was complete without leaving to many unanswered questions but enough for a new story to carry on if Kelly wants to, I'd buy it. Now off to llok at more of Kelly's work

Accepting yourself and others.

Have you made peace with yourself and others? If not, are you trying to? What's important to you? That others are accepted and happy? That's Arabella. You'll be glad you read this book. It's a true joy.
