When I’m hanging over a cliff and getting ready for death, the only way out is to promise the Grim Reaper anything he wants.

Because what’s a girl to do when her arms are going numb and she doesn’t want to become a pancake? Also, he is kind of gorgeous. I mean, apart from the terrifying skull he has instead of a head, his eye sockets filled with fire, his horns, and his prehensile tail.
When I fall to my death and Grim catches me to whisk me off to his lair, I am ready to look past the skull and the horns. But then, it turns out I’m not really saved. The only way for me to stay alive is to drink his essence. The essence that shoots out of the sinfully monstrous thing between his legs. Yup. That essence.
It tastes nothing like what I’ve expected.

This erotic novella is 13k word long, contains special-flavor CREAM, and is for adult audiences only.

Beth owns a pastry that's on the edge of bankruptcy, so she goes to a mountain, where one famous pastry chef lives isolated and hoping she gives her some of her recipes.
The path is hard and when she saws a baby goat, Beth tries to save her.
But the goat didn't need to be save, Beth does...
Now, she's hanging on a branch, waiting for death, when her personal reaper appears.

description

And to save her life, Grim makes a deal with Beth.
There's something about dating death that appeals her.

description

The reaper is my kind of guy, he tastes like chocolate, so I can understand why Beth is so in love with him.
These stories are fun and ridiculous, for now, this is my favourite.

description

Though Beth is immortal now, she still goes back to her pastry.
Grim helps her to pursuit her dreams, and they are going to help Sylvia and her personal grim reaper that's in love with his ward too.

Where are my chocolate lovers ? I heard that this grim daddy only has the cocoa juice. “Wink wink”!!

Unfortunately, I don’t like chocolate anything so this will be a hard no for me !! However for my chocolate loving ladies there is a magical dark chocolate syrup that will blow your mind.

Our lovely main character has the worst luck. Like I mean her life is essentially a lifetime movie. Complete with the bad hairdo and the nonexistent sex life. Grim is here to change all of that.

34% through and Beth is about to blow down the devil lol !!

I guess it was. That’s right, baby. I want you to give me a blowjob in return for catching you when you fell to your death. And when I come in your mouth, I want you to swallow every last drop of my cum. Do you think you can do this?”

Beth is moments from dying when things go haywire !! She is speaking to the Grim Reaper and is he hitting on her ? I know you read those shenanigans above !!

Things just aren’t making sense but what does she know? Beth has only had a piece of cake and she is running up the side of a mountain with dreams in her eyes. Do you think Beth will make it up this mountain with her mind intact ? Or will she give in to her true desires ?

Happy reading everyone 😅🥵 give this one a try and find out !!

I am loving all these flavors!!
Er… I mean…stories.

This was another cute and amusing monster story. So much fun to read!

“Your cock puts the bone in boner…”
See?! ^^

I really enjoyed this one. Likable characters, lots of laughs and plenty of steam. The filthy mouth on this Grim…*heart eyes*

The bonus scene was an excellent little treat/punishment.
On to the next one in the series!

“Drop your pants,” I said. “I need some of that premium chocolate flavor of yours.”

WHAT THE FUCK.

Grim later replies. “If you ever need some excellent pumpkin spice syrup, I know just the source.”

GOODBYE. IM SIGNING OFF.

unexpected.

So I decided to give this a quick read after another Goodreads reader posted a quote that was so ridiculously crude I couldn’t help but laugh. I’m not sure if I’m happy about it yet or not lol.

It’s basically monster erotica with praise kink and not much story. Then they toss in that crazy, unexpected moment in the end and I was just like what?!

So while I have no idea how I feel about chocolate semen, I think I’ll give the next one a try lol

Super cute with lots of sexy praise.

Beth (divorced baker) is hiking up a mountain in order to retrieve a recipe from a retired baker when she tries to rescue a goat and ends up hanging off the side of a cliff. Grim (her personal grim reaper) is there to offer her a bargain. He'll save her if she gives him a BJ, or something like that. Ya see - Grim is like a guardian angel, except for death. And along the way he's actually fallen in love with Beth. He wants to become human for her and is now cheating death? I guess? They go to hell and fock. It's really hot and I love it. His semen tastes like chocolate. I'm about 99% sure that more women would give BJs if this were an actual fact. I know I would!

Grim adores Beth and praises her constantly. It's so sweet and adorable. I'm kind of wishing human men had a tail that would stroke the clit while focking. That would make sex so much better.

I enjoyed it!

What can I say? It was really hot and surprisingly sweet! It was even fun. Who would say a grim reaper could be this romantic? It’s a short erotic book with a nice plot and charismatic characters. I’ll definitely read more books by Layla.

I liked Grim when he first appeared, after that it was along the same lines as the first book. Overused nickname and flavour cum. I did like how they helped the other two. Not so sure on the strangulation though. Again, with the strange epilogue.

Grim is the second in the truly excellent Monster Ever After series, but it was the last one I read. Honestly, in Grim's case the order in which I read it didn't make such a big difference.

I LOVE the MEA series and simply love the way that Layla writes each of her characters, and the ...uhm...flavours of each of her MMCs! IYKYK!

Grim and Beth's story was super-hot and actually very sweet and the bonus story (available at the end of the story) make a great addition to their HEA. And of course, they make an appearance in the bonus story of one of the other MEA characters.

I will always pick up anything that Layla writes in this series and imagining her joy in writing these absurdly funny and absolutely bonkers stories make me so happy!

Spicy: 🌶🌶🌶

“Now that I have you, I’m going to keep you.”

This authors novella's never fall to make me chuckle. The cake bit in the end lol-made me laugh! Super creative. Steamy, with a side of praise kink. Didn't flow the best. But a quick fun read for a challenge!

What a Delight

After reading Jack, I had no other choice than to keep reading, and I am having such a good time in the monster world. I'd read ten more if I could. And yeah, now I'm craving chocolate cake. THANKS LAYLA🙃😒😂

“In that hour, we need to change your status from mortal to immortal. There is only one way for me to do it.”
I nodded again. “One way. Fine. What is it?”

“You need to ingest my essence.”
WHICH TASTES LIKE CHOCOLATE BTW


Grim was so sweet! Also hot and dominating with his commands and his praises. I loved this short read!

“I chose you. Out of the hundreds of souls I cared for, and the billions of human beings I have seen in my lifetime, you are the most striking, the most beautiful creature. I had to do something to have you, Beth. To touch you, at least once. Although now that you’ve touched me back, once won’t be enough. It will never be enough. You are mine. Forever.”

This was delicious😉

It is quite Literally monster er0t1ca and it wasn't bad. Grim saves Beth from death because he loves her. They have sex. They fall in love.

A very normal everyday love story, truly.

It was spicy, it was short, it was tasty, it was good.

Go read it ✨

Beth is trying to get to Sylvia, who has promised her the recipe to her famous cake. The problem is she is in a secluded area that's hard to get to. And when Beth falls, she meets her Grim Reaper.

I love this author and every book they've put out on this series so far. They're fun, full of steam and always end with something to make you laugh. Beth and Grim are sweet and Steamy together and they make the book worthwhile. The writing is fantastic, but the characters in this book are relatable and fun.

I cant wait to see what else the author puts out!
