Monster Mansion
Sometimes what's in the void does more than look back...
When a handsome billionaire offered me an exclusive house-sitting job in his West Virginia mansion, I knew in my heart it was too good to be true. But if I wanted to get a leg up in the paranormal researching world, I was going to have to take the bait.
I just didn't know I was the bait.
Because the mansion isn't haunted, it's inhabited, and the starving things that go bump in the night aren't just hungry for my flesh, but my body too. Yet, even though I need to keep my wits about me to survive, something makes me want to give them my heart along with everything else.
Tentacles have that kind of effect on a girl...

This was really weird. And obviously it was weird but it was even a bit stranger than I expected it to be. A girl in college responds to an ad to house sit at a remote mansion. What she didn't know was that the owner of the mansion was using young women as offerings to the monsters who inhabit the house. Logan, however, is not your typical girl and is fascinated by the things that go bump in the night. She hooks up with the 3 monsters (in more ways than one) and devise a plan to release them from their ties to the mansion.
So this starts out with a girl being ripped apart and ends with a happy marriage proposal? I guess I don't necessarily have a huge problem with it but it came out of left field. To reiterate... this was weird... weird relationships, weird sexy scenes, weird mega happy ending...but it wasn't bad and had some fun as well. I'm not really sure how I feel about it so it's a 2.5 stars.

Okay, so I have absolutely no clue how this one ended up on my TBR, and I’m sure it was just from me being bored and scrolling through amazon trying to find either monster or why choose romance, bonus if it was standalone and both at the same time!
Now, once I read the summary (I started doing this recently), I knew it would either be really good or not so good, and hell it was awesome! Don’t be fooled by me reading it over 4 days, it was Christmas period and I needed to do lots of stuff. So I was always interrupted whenever I was trying to sit down and read!
The book follows Logan, who was a fantastic FMC, and her attitude towards the monsters was soo good! She was a bit too accepting I’d say, but then again, it was great! Now, right in the beginning there’s a scene which may deter a lot of readers, but don’t worry just read on, you’ll love it! I nearly closed the book because one of the monsters was described as a spider and my arachnophobia wouldn’t have been able to take that, but good thing was that he was never described as such later in the book and his appendage was just…..
Now, we don’t get group scenes in my definition of group scenes (when two or more MMC’s have spicy time with FMC), but we do get some great one-on-ones! And I was content with that!

Would read better as a novella
February 17, 2024
This book felt a little fast. The character’s emotions changed fast, but not rapidly. The monsters’ on the other hand? As soon as they saw what Logan was capable of, they changed their minds right then and there. The author could have at least built up their relationship more slowly. Still would recommend, but not as thrilling as I was expecting.

Warning, this review is sexually explicit (much like the book is)
Ok so, suspend your reason and just enjoy the ride. That's my advice. If you like monster sex and vaguely cnc erotica, it's good. If you pay too close attention, it's a mess. it doesn't HAVE to necessarily make sense but some of the lessons you might take from it are troubling.
Hold on i'm going to spoil it.
The MC is house sitting a mansion full of ghosts(?). well one is wendigo, one is a tentacle monster, one is a shape shifter. lots of monster kink to go around. it's established early and the MC learns that the ghosts have been raping and killing people who stay at the mansion. This worries her none (I think she's a sociopath but it's never part of the story explicitly). One ghost starts molesting her in bed and she leans into it with an attitude of 'OH, I like this' (hold on, the ride gets bumpier from here). Another shape shifts into a man she brings back to the mansion to hookup with and she notices it's the ghost and not the human man, and she just rolls with it and sleeps with the ghost. She assumes the ghosts killed him and doesn't mind beyond being worried she will be blamed. turns out later he's alive but she isn't relieved in particular to learn this.
After this she does a ritual to summon the ghosts and after meeting them officially, promises to set them free (she knows they kill people but she doesn't so much as extract a pinky promise that they'll stop once they're loose in the world).
Tentacle ghost comes to her in bed and molests her a little and she gets so feral horny that even the ghost starts to worry she's going to get hurt but she demands that he fit as many tentacles inside her as he can. after, he asks if she can sleep with the wendigo too because he's really pent up and it's harshing the vibe. She's afraid but but horny to try and concludes the giant wendigo **** is going to split her in half. She doesn't let this stop her. Magically the wendigo shifts into a human man and his giant **** becomes manageable. Everyone is happy. tentacle monster holds her while the wendigo plows her.
They all decide they should talk about how to free them and conclude they need to kill the mansion owner who has been feeding girls to the ghosts to gain magic powers or something. But first they need to kill the groundskeeper. She pleads that he has a family and maybe they can reason with him. She tries to do just that and he's a dick so she comes back and goes nevermind *** him up. The shapeshifter rips him to bits and comes in the house full of blood lust. He chases down and almost kills the MC but at the last second decides to rape her instead. She sees he has two **** and she's into it. after they have hot shower sex, he calms down into a proper gentleman and says oh sorry lost my cool there. No hard feelings about the rape, she says. (I'm making none of this up)
they lure the mansion owner back and after some gentle conflict, she stabs him good. We're not sure how they're going to cover up the murder(s) but that's a concern for another day. it'll all work out (it does).
so the ghosts go free into the world and the MC returns home having done her good deed for the day (murdering two people to set a trio of rape ghosts loose in the world). After two days the ghosts find her and say they're lonely. Shape shifter turns into mansion guy and is all I have an idea. I'll pretend to be him and we can get married. She's like, yeah but you have to watch my stupid shows and have all the sex with me. They all live in a happy orgy-tastic family forever after.
it's silly, sure. but it was fun. I tease because I enjoyed it.

I... didn't hate this? like it wasn't great, but it also wasn't bad.
CWs: graphic violence, murder, explicit spice, monsters, blood + gore
this felt almost like a long novella. it had a story, spice, not terrible characters, but none really felt... fully developed?
the prologue really just threw you right into violence and lots of gore. other than that, I mean the story wasn't bad.
Logan is house sitting for this rich guy that's out in the middle of nowhere. the longer she is in the house the more she hears sounds and feels things, until she decides to perform a ritual to drag the creatures out so she can confront them and find out what is really going on.
overall, I kinda liked this. I thought the characters were cool and I thought that the curse and how it was broken were written okay, I wish there had been a liiittle bit more development. but it wasn't bad as it was!

Soo... I guess I semi enjoyed this?
Parts of the story were done well, and the atmosphere was a lovely creepy, gloomy one at the start, I was convinced it was going to be epic.
This was not entirely the case as it turns from mysterious to
"hi, my name is Barry and I'm a monster that eats people"
It took a lot of the tension away and, for me, was less fun from then on.
Some hot/semi hot monster banging that turned them into nice monsters immediately and some drama at the end to spice things up a bit only to end it abruptly.
Like, really fliping abrupt, I was expecting a next page that wasn't there and it felt unfinished because of that.

I thought this could’ve been developed in expanded a bit, but it was cute and I liked the “monsters “.

Entertaining…
Monster Mansion by Melody Rose is an entertaining “ride.” I really liked Logan’s character. She was just the right amount of “knowledge of the supernatural” for a human. The fact that she’s grown up with a grandmother that believed in witchcraft and ancient lore helped to give her character credibility as a human who wouldn’t be automatically afraid of a “haunted” mansion.
Nox, Ruse and Thorn were vastly different monsters with very different characters. I liked Nox’s no nonsense demeanor and thought he had a good blend of “bad” and “good” traits. Thorn was, for lack of another word, adorable, lol. For a horrifying creature he’s a “gentle soul” that just yearns for love and true acceptance and a “pack,” once more. It took me longer to warm up to Ruse. I think that’s because he’s so anti-Logan for so much of the book, it’s a little unbelievable that he’d fall in love with her and shed his a$$hole ways because they had rough monster sex. Again, wasn’t the monster sex that was the turn off, lol, it was the fact that he did a complete 180 after they did the deed. And sadly this doesn’t occur until you’re well into the book, so all you really get to know is a-hole Ruse, not “I’m in love with Logan,” Ruse.
Mr. Silver could’ve used more “fleshing out” as a character. He was the typical evil corporate mogul who wants to rule the world because he has a God complex etc. etc. etc. since you don’t read that much about him, and all the “action” on his part comes at the very end, I just thought he was kinda “blah” as a “bad guy.” Heck, the weasel groundkeeper came off more evil and two-faced than Mr. Silver at times.
The end was thoroughly rushed! The pace of the book had been going so well, and then suddenly it’s like a rocket takes off and we’re speeding toward “the end.” Everything gets tied up neatly in a four page epilogue, and it’s quite dissatisfying. The end itself was also dissatisfying. So to have a lame epilogue kind of stinks. The book was funny, had some nice character development and an interesting overall plot, it deserved a totally satisfying ending ( especially since it’s just one book).
Overall, a fun, entertaining monster RH that ties up “neatly,” and is a quick read.

I don’t even feel like I can rate this book. It just went by so extremely fast. Everything was so A to H to Z. It moved so quick. Like I feel like I don’t have enough book to even go off to rate it. It wasn’t a bad read, just moved so so so quick. And the way she has been there for two weeks and was like omg I’m in love with you and all the rest of guys where like omg me too and then her killing Jonas randomly at the end made no sense. The knife thing too, like what. It just seemed so rushed and poorly thought out. ALSO THE WAY RUSE WAS LIKE NO I HATE YOU, I FUCKED YOU (the whole get in the shower to fuck you made absolutely no fucking sense and added NOTHING to the plot), AND NOW IM ON YOUR SIDE AND ALL IS WELL AND LOVLEY. Like what. Then the fucking epilogue. What the fuck kind of fuck ass epilogue was that. It was the most suck ass fuck ass I’m trying to finish this as quickly as I can let’s throw words on a piece of paper bullshit I’ve ever read IN MY LIFE. Why would you even write the epilogue if it was going to be so rushed in the first place. Makes no sense. Oh your friend Blair is gonna go clubbing but you don’t wanna go and all of a sudden your tentacle boyfriend (YOU KNEW THEM FOR A GOOD THREE DAYS AND YOU HAD SEX WITH ONE OF THEM AND THE NEXT DAY HAD SEX WITH ANOTHER. DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE BOYFRIEND TITLE THOUGH. YOU HAD KNOWN THE MEN FOR MAYBE A WEEK AT MOST AT THAT POINT. HELL YOU WERE ONLY WITH THEM FOR TWO FUCKING WEEKS. DON’T PISS ME OFF.) is back at it again because you left your lights off and you’re going to go fuck off at the creepy old mansion for the weekend. What kinda fuck ass shit is that? Shit ass fucking ending. On a good note though I did like Nox’s little awkward mannerisms but that’s about it. Like thats one of the only good things I have to say about this book. Anyways 1/5. Would not EVER read this shit again.

There's a lot about this book I didn't like. What I did like was monster smut....and that was probably it. The FMC wasn't horrible and the monsters themselves weren't bad. I especially had a soft spot for Thorn. Now for all I didn't like:
* POVs randomly changed. I recall a POV for Ruse but in the middle of the interaction he leaves and the POV changes to either of the two left.... then switches back to Ruse. But the whole thing was labeled as Ruses POV, but what happened wasn't SAID from his POV. So, it ended up being awkward and sloppy.
* Magical vaginas. The 180 flip of Ruse's personality, literally after tappin' that ass, was quick enough to make a person's head spin. He got a taste of the V and then is suddenly a devoted puppy. Like, no.
* The story felt rushed overall, we're saying "I love you" after 2 weeks and one bang session per monster. [insert eyeroll here] The ending cut off rather quickly too. I really think this would have been better either as a really long novel or a duet. We could have used more time with the monsters and a proper ending. I'm not saying anything needed dragged out, but we could have slowed things down and added more time for relationship building.
I didn't hate this so much that I'd never check out another one of this authors books, but it was a bad first read for me. I'll check something else out by them and see if maybe the book being a standalone was the problem.

fun little monster read
This is the first book I’ve read from this author and even though it was not very lengthy, I still enjoyed it enough to search for other work by this author. The story telling was great and grabbed my attention from the start. The book is a stand-alone but it could have definitely been fleshed out a little more. Added some more of a push and pull kind of dynamic between Logan, the monsters, and the 2 men behind the whole ordeal Logan found herself in. With that being said, certain aspects did feel a little rushed. Like the sudden alliance formed between the monsters and Logan. I would have enjoyed to read more building of their relationships from the time she met them officially to the big “I love you” bombs.
The ending left things a little uncertain about how the 3 monsters will live their lives with their newfound freedom and how exactly Logan will fit in. Regardless, they still found the happy ending they wanted. I still enjoyed reading this story and will definitely see what else the author has released.

As far as I have seen, I haven't read a book from the author before.
So, I really liked the book. Sure, the story is not for everyone. Though, for me, it was no problem, because I really love monster stories, and the psychotic characters. And I always take the book worlds, as they are. Means, I don't expect the monsters to have our moral standards.
So, the story was well-written, and the story pulled me right in. The book is a standalone, but not a lengthy one. That was one of the slightly negative points. Because some parts were rushed, and not all things felt concluded. Like, what is with the ending? How do their lives continue? There could have been more told, than just the things we got to see. Unfortunately, there isn't more.
But overall, it's a HEA and I liked it. So, 4 stars.

happily surprised
With the way this story started out I started to have my doubts but was happily surprised by the end. Part of me is happy with said ending but a bigger part hopes there will be a second book. There are questions like, did the knife really get destroyed or maybe someone had collected it later? What about the deed? What about Logan and mortality? So many questions…. Otherwise I am happy to have come across this book in some fb book group. Read it, you won’t regret it.

It was an ok book
These book has a storyline I’ve not come across so I was intrigued but it fell a bit flat in places. The characters seemed a little underdeveloped especially as it took so long to truly have the men manifest for Logan. It would have been nice to know a bit more of the background of Logan just happening to know some magic and have the others around a bit longer. I thought that there’d end up being something suspicious with the bestie (there wasn’t) I just read to much into it I think expecting the plot to thicken but there were no twists or surprises.

A fun little read!
There was something so cozy and lovable about the mansion and monsters in this story. I felt at home in this book. Somehow, I felt like I was in it. My ONLY slight disappointment was the moment Logan actually met the monsters face to face. It was slightly anticlimactic, but I think that’s more me than the author. I prefer brutal, violent enemies to lovers and this read just isn’t that heavy. It’s lighter, and manages to be fluffier despite the monsters initially wanting to eat her. It satisfies that craving in all the women who secretly want the monster in every story or movie to win. The ending was wholesome and left a smile on my face. I’d HIGHLY recommend!!!

Unique and captivating!
Monster Mansion was a very unique storyline. A Reverse Harem with a dark twist. A beautiful college student hired to house sit a mansion where three monsters are trapped by a dark curse. Little does she know she has really been sent by the wealthy owner as a sacrificial meal for the monsters. How will she ever survive? Can she win the hearts and loyalty of the monsters? Enjoy Logan’s journey!

surprisingly sweet!
I loved the monsters; they were very creative and well written! I felt like the story was pretty rushed, though. It was entertaining, but could definitely have been fleshed out more and the relationships better developed. I would read more of Melody Rose’s books if I thought they’d be less rushed.

was ok
Ehh it was a good read. I enjoyed it until one scene with rues just made me hate him and even the other guys. Like how are they gonna hide when he actively tried to hurt her? How could she just forgive him? It ruined the whole book for me.

If you like monsters you’ll love this book.
Great story. Love the monsters. Kind of an abrupt ending to the Epilogue. Hoping for a second installment. So glad there’s a HEA for the monsters and Logan.

Delightfully surprised
I was expecting this to just be about the spice but was pleasantly surprised with the plot. I really loved it and the characters. This is a great read anytime but especially if you need a pallette cleanser when you're in a slump.

unexpected excellence
I'm new to this genre and loved this book. So many different characters came together brilliantly. The author made this book hard to put down. WI will definitely be reading more of her work.

Surprisingly entertaining and good
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, but I really enjoyed it. Even though it was kind of dark in parts and also kind of creepy, it wasn’t too deep and made for easy, entertaining reading. I’m sure I’ll be reading more of her books.

Honestly more of a 2.5 for me but I'll round up to be nice. That ending was so anticlimactic.

Was not expecting that horrible of a cliffhanger. You go to turn the page to continue reading the scene and it just ends.
