This book made me feel a deeper connection to these two characters which made me fall more in love with this story. There’s just something about seeing Quill, this monster, show his feelings to Piper. I just love him.

[Kristy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This prequel to the Monster Duet gives you a little background with Quill and Piper. As well diving deeper into Quill and his history with the Devil Tower. Quill absolutely gives morally grey, dangerous, possessive energy, and the romance has that toxic pull that dark romance readers either love or immediately side-eye. I love how this is mostly his POV and how we see more of his thought process and his inner debates regarding his obsession with Piper. This series is dark, so please read TWs before going in.

This was messy and I think it turned me off of reading the main duet. Maybe I should have started with those...

Quill Nelson Is Not a Red Flag—He’s the Entire Emergency Alert System

ARC Review: Thank you to the author/publisher for the advance copy. All opinions are my own, including the unhinged ones.

🖤🔪 This book looked me dead in the eyes and whispered, “Your emotional stability is optional,” and honestly? It wasn’t wrong.

Monster Made is the kind of dark romance that grips you from the very first chapter, refusing to loosen its hold. This isn’t your typical love story; it’s obsession cloaked in romance, danger masquerading as attraction, and emotional chaos wrapped up in a disturbingly addictive package. The moment Quill and Piper stepped onto the page, my peace vanished.

From the opening pages, the atmosphere felt off—in the best way—tense, unsettling, and dripping with danger that makes good judgment slip away quietly. Intriguing secret society plots, psychological tension, and obsessive romance pulled me in instantly.

Piper is resilient, stubborn, and braver than she knows. After years trapped in Quill Nelson’s orbit, she’s drained, angry, and desperate to reclaim control. Quill? He’s more than a red flag; he’s a full-scale emergency alert system. He’s possessive, unpredictable, emotionally fractured, carrying enough darkness to turn every encounter into either a kiss or a crime scene. He’s walking psychological warfare.

And somehow? The chemistry works. Actually, that’s an understatement. The chemistry doesn’t just work—it detonates. Quill and Piper’s dynamic is messy, volatile, and frankly, unhealthy. This isn’t a story about romantic obsession; it’s a dive into what happens when fear, attraction, possession, and emotional dependency become tangled together until nobody can tell where one ends and the other begins.

Their relationship is built on fear, obsession, hostility, power imbalance, and an attraction neither can escape. Every conversation is a standoff. Every glance is loaded. The tension isn’t romantic in a traditional sense; it’s dangerous. Quill constantly feels like the biggest threat in the room, ready to burn the world down if anyone gets too close to Piper. It’s the kind of dynamic that makes you question your judgment as you eagerly turn the pages.

The setting only amplifies the madness. Devil Tower oozes secrecy, menace, and hidden agendas. Rumors lurk around every corner, and the secret society woven throughout the story creates an atmosphere where nobody feels trustworthy, and every answer seems to lead to a darker question. The entire novella feels like wandering through a haunted maze while clutching the monster’s hand.

What really hooked me was how fully committed the story was to its darkness. There’s no softening here—these characters don’t make healthy choices. Obsession is obsession. Possessiveness is possessiveness. The gray morals are so dark they’re practically black. The story embraces this chaos with unapologetic fervor.

The suspense layer kept me hooked just as fiercely as the romance. Strange behaviors, hidden motives, unanswered questions, and escalating tension keep your nerves on edge. As Piper digs deeper, the atmosphere tightens, blurring the line between attraction and danger.

What I loved most wasn’t just the romance—it was the electric tension surrounding it. The lingering question: is Quill a protector or Piper’s greatest threat? That uncertainty adds a sharp edge.

That said, the book wasn’t flawless. The attraction occasionally moved faster than I fully bought into emotionally, which weakened some emotional beats that deserved more weight. While the chemistry was believable within the story’s dark atmosphere, a bit more groundwork would’ve made certain moments hit harder.

Some mystery threads shone brighter than others. The unanswered questions created excellent suspense. Not every reveal carried the same punch, which occasionally disrupted the momentum the mystery was building, leaving the pacing slightly uneven at times.

But overall, the strengths shine through. The dual POV structure is superb—it lets us see both Piper’s fear and Quill’s increasingly alarming fixation. The writing thrives on emotional discomfort, moral ambiguity, and psychological tension. The pacing simmers rather than races, gradually tightening the pressure until the story feels like it’s holding its breath.

As a prequel novella, Monster Made delivers exactly what it promises: a dark, fiery, emotionally volatile glimpse into a relationship built on obsession, fear, and irresistible attraction. It’s messy. It’s toxic. It’s entertaining. And if your favorite romance dynamic is “girl, run” immediately followed by “actually wait, hear him out,” you’re in for a wild ride.

This is tailored for dark romance fans who love morally gray heroes, obsessive devotion, psychological tension, bully dynamics, secret societies, and morally ambiguous relationships.

If your favorite fictional men make you think, “This is deeply concerning,” then you’ll understand the appeal instantly.

I appreciated that the story never softened its darkness. It’s unapologetically toxic, intentionally so. The obsession, danger, and darkness aren’t hidden behind romantic gloss—they’re front and center, demanding engagement.

Final Verdict: Watching Quill and Piper’s relationship is like witnessing a match and gasoline slowly combust—no regrets about standing close enough to see the explosion. 🖤🔪🔥 Overall, an addictive, atmospheric, tension-packed read that delivers on obsession, secrets, emotional warfare, and enough red flags to cover a football field.

Despite every warning sign, I still found myself eager to see what happens next. 🖤🙃

spoiler alert review // monster made by a.v. blackmoor
— ( 🧷 ) first read
★★★★☆
౨ৎ ⋮ “some monsters are born. others are made.”

ᝰ.ᐟ tropes:
⤷ dark romance
⤷ morally grey mmc
⤷ possessive love interest
⤷ trauma + healing
⤷ dangerous attraction
⤷ secrets
⤷ “touch her and die” energy

— tw: violence, trauma, manipulation, toxic relationship dynamics, sexual content, dark romance themes

this book had that gritty, dangerous, why am i rooting for this man? kind of energy. it’s dark, messy, intense, and definitely not trying to sell you a soft fairytale romance. this is more like love crawling out of the wreckage with blood on its hands.

ᝰ.ᐟ plot summary:
monster made follows a romance built around darkness, survival, and the kind of attraction that feels almost impossible to walk away from. the characters are pulled together by pain, secrets, and obsession, and as things unfold, it becomes clear that the real monsters aren’t always the ones everyone warns you about. sometimes they’re the ones created by betrayal, trauma, and the need to survive.

꒰ 🖇 ⊹ ׁ݂ “he was the monster they feared, but somehow, he became the only place that felt safe.”

ᝰ.ᐟ my thoughts:
i really liked how heavy the atmosphere felt. this book has that dark romance tension where every scene feels like something could snap at any second. the mmc gives morally grey, dangerous, possessive energy, and the romance has that toxic pull that dark romance readers either love or immediately side-eye.

what worked best for me was the emotional intensity. it’s not just dark for the sake of being dark — there’s pain underneath it, and that made the characters feel more layered. the relationship isn’t clean or easy, but that’s kind of the point. it’s complicated, obsessive, and full of those “this is a terrible idea but i’m invested” moments.

i do think some parts could’ve used more breathing room, especially when the emotional beats hit back-to-back, but the overall vibe kept me hooked. it gave danger, angst, obsession, and a romance that feels more like a storm than a safe place.

ᝰ.ᐟ final thoughts:
if you like dark romance with morally grey men, messy emotions, survival themes, and intense chemistry, monster made is worth checking out. it’s not for readers who want healthy communication and soft love confessions every chapter — this one is darker, sharper, and more chaotic.

— rating: ★★★★☆
dark, emotional, dangerous, and giving “he’s a monster, but unfortunately… i get it.”

[Brina's Emotional Borrow · Rating 4 out of 5]

I rated this book 4 stars.

This series is definitely a DARK one. Quill is morally black 100 percent. However, this novella is not as dark as book 1 and 2. The entire Devil world is deeply psychological, and there's so much to unpack. If you read it at a surface level, it would seem horrible. Quill is a tormentor. Piper is a pushover. But when you factor in a lifetime of abuse and the reality that Quill is a psychopath who lacks empathy and self-control, the series becomes incredibly layered. There's so much happening beneath the surface.

Honestly, I am completely obsessed with the Devil world. A.V. Blackmoor has this way of making me gasp, say what the heck, and sit there stunned at the end of chapters. Every book in this world pulls me in deeper. This novella may be shorter, but it still had me reacting out loud and flipping pages like a maniac. I love when a story makes me feel something so strongly, and this one absolutely did.

Having the full story and then coming back to the beginning adds so much nuance to every interaction. It gives more meaning to Quill’s internal struggles, Piper’s fascination with Devil, and the later actions of the side characters. The amount of character growth that Quill and Piper have from this novella to the end of book 2 is astounding.

Most of this novella is from Quill’s perspective and takes place over about a two-week period after they get together. There are a few scenes from books 1 and 2 shown from his POV, but for the most part this is new information and new insight into who he is. Seeing these events through his eyes changes the way the entire series reads.

Surprisingly, this prequel left me with even more questions and has me begging for the next book in the Devil world. I am so curious how much the people at the top of Devil really know about what is going on. Did they sanction these things?

Thank you BookSirens and A.V. Blackmoor for this ARC. I am anxiously waiting for the next books in the Devil world!

Although she used to fantasize that he would be her knight in shining armour, Piper has been bullied by Quill ever since they started high school together three years ago. While she’s been used to dealing with his torment, most others leave her alone, so when she’s attacked by another student one night, she decides to take her revenge. This brings her to Devil Tower, where she sees things she shouldn’t have, including Quill.

For years now, Quill has wanted nothing more than to end Piper, but something always stops him. While he fights his urges, one thing is clear, no one else is allowed to touch her. But when he wakes up with bloody hands and no memories of the night before, only to see bruises on Piper’s face, he’s convinced he hurt her, and somehow that doesn’t sit right with him. When his obsession turns into a need to possess her, everything changes, and suddenly keeping her safe is his biggest priority.

Having read the Monster Duet, I was thrilled to receive this prequel novella from the author. It was interesting to see some of Piper and Quill’s interactions from the opposite POV, but also, because this one was entirely set in their high school years, we got to dig a bit deeper into the origins of their relationship. Quill is just as unhinged here as he was in the duet, but we got to see more of his thought process and his inner debates regarding his obsession with Piper, and it also set the scene for what I’m sure will be the next storyline in the Devil Universe. It was interesting to see how much the characters have changed over the years, and yet how much is still exactly the same.

I received an advanced reader copy of Monster Made.

I want to start off by saying that I read this before the other books in the series. I don't think it's necessary to read them first as this is quite a world building novella for the main books/storyline.

That being said, definitely read the triggers to avoid any surprises down the line.

I did enjoy the book, I'm not a big dark bully romance reader if I'm honest so this was like a tester book for me. But learning some things about the MC's before the main plot was my ideal scenario for a new book. Sometimes details can get lost when its mixed with the storyline.

Quill is a unique character, had a definite dark psychotic mind due to the whole soldier programme part. Could this also be due to his father's treatment of him and childhood trauma? Maybe, but also a contributing factor I think. Its definitely rewired his mind to be what they want in some way, but part of his own mind is still there playing devil and angel on his shoulder.

Piper, well she definitely has a bit of Stockholm Syndrome. All it takes is one kiss and she has forgotten exactly how badly he treated her. She is beyond crazy to think her father wasn't hearing some of the things she said in her room one morning when he was literally outside the door, but hey ho delusional is definitely her vibe when it comes to Quill and his antics.
I would have liked to see a bit more about the lab and that whole situation but it just felt like background fluff.

Either way, I enjoyed it and will eventually read the other two books!

[Miss Elle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a gripping, page turning novella that pulled me in almost immediately. A fashion loving serial killer, a man returning for revenge, and two main characters who are basically walking red flags? Yep… totally my kind of read!

Cass is such an interesting character. She’s clever, confident, completely ruthless, and somehow manages to make being a serial killer seem almost fashionable! Then there’s Finn, who has spent years planning his revenge and comes back with one thing on his mind. Neither of them is remotely innocent, and honestly, that’s what makes their dynamic so addictive.

The hunter and hunted element kept me hooked, constantly wondering who really had the upper hand. The tension between them is intense, and with both characters carrying plenty of darkness, you never quite know where things are going to go.

For such a short novella, it packs a lot in. The pacing is quick, the story is gripping, and the spice level is definitely 5+ 🔥. This is not a slow burn romance, you’re thrown straight into the intensity, and it absolutely works for this story.

I loved how unapologetically dark and outrageous it was. It’s twisted, dangerous, spicy, and completely entertaining.

If you enjoy morally questionable characters, revenge, masked men, hunter versus hunted, primal energy, and VERY high spice, then this is definitely one to pick up.

[Kat Hingle · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a pretty interesting short novella. If you haven’t read the other two books make sure you do so after you read this one. I read those before I read this one which is absolutely okay to do by the way. I got to read in more detail on Piper and Quill’s back story. I also got to meet some characters that I didn’t get to read about in the other two books like Case and Finn. This book just really goes more in depth about Piper and Quill’s life when they went to school together back when Quill used to bully Piper really bad. Then it goes into when Quill joins the devil’s society and then when Quill realized he was obsessed with Piper and made him his girlfriend. I was kinda hoping we would get to read about the night when Quill’s bestfriends betrayed him by going behind his back and texting Piper pretending to be Quill to lure her out to the devil’s building and then rug and you know what to her but the book stops pretty much right before that would have happened. Maybe the author can write a separate novella going into detail about what happened that night. It would have to have trigger warnings at the beginning of course but it would be interesting to read about exactly what happened that one terrible night from Piper’s POV.

Monster Made by A.V. Blackmoor gave me everything I wanted from a prequel and more. I loved learning how Quill and Piper started out and how their story developed before everything that readers already know happens. The way the author wove Quills beginnings as a Devils soldier into the storys core was really well done. It didn't feel forced or like content. It made Quill a deeper character and helped me understand him in a whole new way.

One thing I really like about A.V. Blackmoors writing is how it feels like a movie. Each scene has much detail that it feels like you're watching the story instead of just reading it. You can imagine the atmosphere, tension and emotions clearly. It's like the book has pictures in it.

I've been following this series and each book gets better and stronger. This novella added a lot to the story while still having the dark addictive energy that the series is known for. If you already care about Quill and Piper you should read this. It made me more obsessed, with their story.

[Rogue Kayl · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice little novella about Quill and Piper, fiĺling the gaps of their intense relationship before Piper let for University.

I really enjoyed this. It showed the true side of Quill's feelings toward Piper. Even though you see a snippet of it in the Monsters Duet you mainly see his psychotic side. But this little novella showed how much he truely loved Piper. Yes he is still a psychopath and does and is capable of many unhinged things, but in this novella DEVIL hasn't corrupted him fully yet, compared to his adult life.

There is a softness to Quill which hasn't been destroyed yet.

Definitely worth a read, but would have loved more to the book, maybe it ending after the incident with Dane and Liam and leading to Quill and Pipers break up and her leaving Astley.

Read the snippet of Cass and Finns story at the end of this arc and can't wait to see how that unfolds.

Prequel to the Monster Duet 🖤

I’ve been following A.V. Blackmoor’s releases and was lucky enough to receive this one as an Advanced Reader Copy.

Honestly, reading about Quill and Piper before the events of the Monster Duet really completed the picture for me. It closed the circle on their relationship and helped me better understand the dynamics between them.

And full disclaimer—their relationship is DARK. Quill’s obsession with Piper is intense, and this prequel gives even more insight into what shaped their connection.

What I love about A.V. Blackmoor’s books is that they don’t just focus on dark spice and obsessive MMCs. Everything is woven into the larger DEVIL world, and I absolutely can’t get enough of it.

As with the rest of the series, this world is very dark. Your mental health matters, so please read the trigger warnings before diving in.

If dark romance is your thing and the triggers aren’t an issue for you, pick this up and explore the DEVIL world today 🥵🖤

[Emma Fullalove · Rating 5 out of 5]

Monster Made by A. V. Blackmoor is the prequel to the Monster Duet, which I had already read beforehand. Personally, I think reading this novella afterwards made the experience even better, as it added extra layers of insight and background that were cleverly woven into the story.
This was an incredibly engaging novella that I finished in a single sitting because I couldn’t put it down. It offered a deeper insight into the early stages of Quill and Piper’s relationship, while also expanding on the mysterious secret organisation (“Devil.”)
The story had unexpected twists that genuinely caught me off guard and kept me hooked from start to finish.
Although this novella isn’t quite as dark as the Monster Duet, it still contains some darker themes, so I’d definitely recommend checking the trigger warnings beforehand - your mental health matters!

[Mary Gallitano · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the prequel to the Monster Duet, which I read previously. It introduces you to Piper and Quill, and Quill's obsession with Piper.
He's been bullying Piper for 3 years when he suddenly realizes " If only I'd known how delicious this kind of squirming was...why the hell did I wast my time making her wriggle around in fear when I Could've had her wriggling around in pleasure instead?" Ths spice never stops, but neither does the plot.
There's a serial killer lose in the town, and mysterious events happening at Devil's Tower.
This is short - but you do need to read the Trigger Warnings.
I'll admit I'm an A.V. Blackmoor fan and this is the fifth book I've read, and I'm waiting for the next one to come out!.

Monster Made by A.V. Blackmoor is the Prequel to Monster Prey and Monster Claim from the Monster Duet series. This is my1st experience with this Author and haven't had the opportunity to read the Duet yet. (I am downloading them as I write this).
This bully to lovers/ revenge romance brings to you the story of Piper a coke bottle glasses wearing loner who has the unwanted bullying attention of Quill the young man everyone fears.....except Piper.
Even after years of his torment and perceived hate she still looks at him with a heat spiraling inside her she can't quite explain. When they finally collide it definitely looks like trouble.
I enjoyed getting to know these characters and look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Check your trigger warnings….

It’s nice to see the prequel of Piper and Quill and know more of their beginnings. Definitely suggest reading this before diving into their story Monster’s Claim, but you don’t have to.

This is set during Piper and Quills high school years, and what happens at the Devil Academy. We learn more about the bullying Piper endures from pretty much everyone in her school because she’s poor and her looks (thick glasses, eyes being different colours and her unruly red curly hair).

I dropped every other arc to read this one because omg 😍😈😍😈. I felt so blessed to be chosen again for this series. Devoured this in a couple hours. Prequel to the Monsters Duet by @avblackmoor.author she never disappoints.

Please make sure you read the trigger warnings before you dive into this series. It is a Pitch-Black Romance with themes and scenes that go with it. The author truly knows how to bring the characters and scenes to life. The development of the MMC are my favourite. If I was to have a book boyfriend, this would be it. Maybe I should analyze myself more for that 😅. Anywho, please go pre order this one!!!

ARC Review
Monster Made
Prequel to Monster Duet
This was a quick read that provides background for the MMC’s for the Monster duet.
Having read the duet, I think that I would still read this prequel after the main books, more because we meet new characters leading into the next series. We are given some insight into Quill & Piper’s history especially the shaping of why Quill is the way he is. For a short read we are given a decent amount of spice – would expect nothing less between Q & P. A bit more insight behind Devil Tower. I’m hooked on these characters and can’t wait to read the next series. This is series is Dark, check your triggers!

Just Not the Right Fit for Me 🖤

Monster Made had an interesting premise, and I’m sure it’s a great book for the right reader, but unfortunately, I just couldn’t get into it.

Nothing about it was necessarily bad, it simply didn’t click with me the way I had hoped. I struggled to fully connect with the story and found myself having a hard time staying invested.

That said, I can definitely see why others might enjoy it, especially if this is your preferred style of dark romance. Sometimes a book just isn’t the right fit, and that’s okay.

Overall, it just wasn’t for me, but I still think it’s worth giving a try if the synopsis interests you.

[Victoria Martin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received an advanced reader copy of this book and I was so excited to add to Piper and Quill’s story.
The story is a prequel to the other Monster books. It gives more backstory and filler to the whole world behind Devil Tower.
The FMC and MMC have a weird chemistry that I didn’t quite understand in the first book, started warming up to in the second book, and can finally say I get it after reading this book.
Loved the intrigue, mystery, and spice.
Perfect for lovers of dark romance, morally gray main characters, and secret society suspense!

Monsters Made was such a great novella! I loved getting to dive deeper into their relationship before the duet and finally see more of the history between them. It added so much more emotion and understanding to the story while giving us little hints and sneak peeks at what’s coming next!

A fun, quick read that lays the groundwork for Piper and Quill's relationship. How does a psychopath fall in love with a girl, especially one who is clumsy and has no sense of what's happening around her, totally oblivious? How does he go from wanting to hurt and bully her into wanting to cuddle her instead? This girl is his.

I'm looking forward to reading the two books I've purchased to see what happens to them further down the line.

Thank you to the author for sharing an early copy of this book with me !!!

Did you ever feel like you wanted to know more about Quill and Piper’s time in high school? Well, the author heard us and she delivered some novella set in the past, to quench our thirst for these characters after the ending of the Monster Duet !!! Fast paced, strong, raw and sometimes funny in a scary and unhinged sort of way. Basically it’s all Quill. And I enjoyed every second of reading it !!! I know y’all will too !!

Monster Made is the spicy dark bully romance prequel to the Monster Duet. You get a little more of Piper and Quill's story and how things started for them. Reading the Monster Duet first, most of the events of Monster Made were referenced to in the duet, with just a few events that were not mentioned previously. I did expect that Quill's thoughts would be darker though.

I loved the Monster Duet so much so it was great to be back in their world with this prequel novella.

Monster Made is Piper and Quill in Highschool and we learn how/why the characters became the way they are in the Monster Duet. This was everything I didn't know I needed.

It is dark (just like the duet) so check your triggers please!
