I thought a lot of the rage on Damien's part was ridiculously dramatic. He kept calling the FMC a whore and a bitch and just being a general jackass to everyone around him - even his other mates. I didn't fully understand the venom that any of the 3 MMCs held for mortals either since they seemed to go out of their way to insult her for being human and then insult her some more when they found out she was a demigod. So honestly what the fuck do you guys want? (I think the answer is that they simply wanted her to be dead.)
I'm also the kind of girl that enjoys a lot of praise in my smut so this just kind of wasn't the best book for me. They kept calling her a shitty thief even though they admit privately that she stole things that would be hard for them to get their hands on. So I was a little bit confused because they actually give some pretty good examples of her being a complete mess of a thief. I don't know why it bothered me as much as it did but... can she do her job or can't she? Does she have any skills worth noting or...
Also a point that I could never really get over is finding violence attractive when it's so objectively, brutally horrifying. I'm talking about at one point one of them threatens to break her jaw while she's giving a BJ. Or ripping her soul up and throwing it in the underworld. Killing her. Chopping her into little bite-size bits for the fishies. They were pushing her around like a soccer ball, slamming her against walls until she blacked out and it never really felt like she had a single physical advantage. Done right, with the proper amount of sexual tension and a feeling of being more on equal ground, I could see how it would be attractive during a fight scene and might even be into it but it never felt set up in a way that made me think that she was anything more than a victim and that they were anything more than sadists completely devoid of any compassion toward her suffering. Which...get it, I guess. I would probably be sadistic too if I had to live centuries after centuries as a tri-headed syndicate boss. But...maybe don't capture a human and then make it seem like it's her fault for being attractive??? Idk just an idea.
It never felt like any of them cared about her getting hurt or even being emotionally open to their sexual advances which made me feel gross. A lot of the time we would be inside the FMCs head and she would be disgusted and angry with the way that she was bring treated and then the male leads would say that she was wet or into it and it felt like we, as the audience, were supposed to kind of swallow that answer or consent and then carry on. Which... listen I've never accepted the word of a man on first glance and I will not be doing it in written form either. Especially when it comes to the sexual urges of a woman. So Ceberus can take his helpful observations about her nos being yes' and shove them up his ass.
Just not for me. I think the world is interesting though.

nothing to see here ladies... keep scrolling
May 15, 2023
Um so this is mid at best. The plot was really not there, which is fine but based on the marketing for this book I was expecting more, substance? The worldbuilding definitely has potential.
It wasn’t until I was looking for this book on Goodreads that I realized this is an expansion on an existing (or previously existing book)? When I looked on Clio’s author page on amazon I saw that the version that was 180 pages and cowritten with Opal Fairchild is no longer available/out of print. Here is the link to this version’s GR page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Interesting that there has been no mention of that on any of Clio’s posts when promoting this book.
Anyway, it’s centered on this art thief Ashley, and she’s sent by Hercules to steal a piece of artwork from the three guy/hellhound/werewolf shifters who come together to make Cerberus. Yes, that Cerberus. The very little plot/world building we did get was honestly very interesting I wish we would have gotten more about that.
There is not much of an explanation over how monsters came out of hiding, and why monsters, especially Damon hate mortals so much. With his curse you would think that he hates gods/goddesses more than mortals but we move. She’s the “best art thief” and naturally gets caught by the three guys, Damon, Minos, and Aaecus. Apparently she smells good to 2 of the 3 of them and so the 3 guys make a contract for her to be their slave for 7 days and then they would send her away and she would be under their protection. Now, if that doesn’t make sense to you trust me you are not alone. Like why would they let her go at the end of the contract? Like her a “poor stupid little mortal” was able to break in to their impenetrable penthouse for her to even attempt to steal something and these three mafia heads were just going to let that fly? Yeah right.
Anyway insta love ensues and its fine but its more bully romance-y than I enjoy. And by that I mean I would definitely call this a bully romance beginning. They treat her like trash, she fights back and the cycle continues. It isn’t until a, ding ding ding, you guessed it one of them realizes that she’s his (and all of their) mates that the switch is flipped and they go from treating her like trash to treating her like THEIR trash but whatever. Anyway demigod Bullshit ensues and we keep getting told “oh Demi gods are so hard to kill” and it’s repeated several times. Yet this 26 year old art thief, newly realized demigod herself is able to take down one in like one shot with like zero training? Not even 3 ancient hell hound/Cerberus is even able to keep up blow for blow with a demigod but she does? Be real.
Also while we are at it, the impenetrable penthouse the “poor stupid human” was able to break into? Why the fuck did they think a demigod wouldn’t try to get in? Again the more I think about the events that happen in this book the more batshit they are. Like I get it, it’s urban/paranormal fantasy, like it doesn’t have to be realistic but it does have to be believable and this is just not.

Today, I learned that I do NOT have a degradation kink. The way the MMCs insult and physically injure the FMC made me insanely uncomfortable. And the way the FMC’s body kept ‘betraying’ her was annoying.
Concept was cool though, and the world has potential! The relationship dynamic just wasn’t my cup of tea.

✨MMM, MMMF Monster Lovin
✨Mafia-ish
✨Greek Mythology-ish
✨All the Kinky Spice
This is a fun why choose monster romance that requires you to leave your brain at the door. If you are in the mood for some pure monster smut, this one is for you.
Ashley is an art thief that’s sent to do one last job to pay off her debt. She’s caught by three hot Mafia monster men that also happen to form Cerberus. In order for her to leave, she has to make a contract to do whatever they want for one week.
This is super fast burn and a quick turn from hate to love, which is not my jam at all, but still not too bad.

Soooo god, it gives a new twist to books that mix Greek mythology and mafias. I can't wait for the second book ♥️

Stanche dei soliti romanzi spicy conditi da scene smut tutte uguali?
Stanche del solito bad boy dominante che tratta la Mary Sue di turno come una bambola gonfiabile?
Stanche dei soliti mafia romance piene di traumi nonsense conditi da porno nonsense?
Ebbene, Thieves and Monsters è il pornazzo con quasi una trama che fa per voi!
Non solo fornisce una vasta selezione di tutti i trope e kink possibili e immaginabili, ma non c’è una scena smut uguale all’altra!
Questo perché stiamo parlando di una relazione composta da una ladra d’arte e Cerbero, che in realtà è composto da tre manzi piuttosto dotati che sono mate tra di loro (beh… almeno due su tre).
Quindi sì, amanti dei monster porn, furry, orge e M/M… Ho pensato molto a voi.
Perché non potete negare che sia un libro furry. Cioè, dai… questa si fotte Cerbero in ogni salsa e portata!
Posso quasi affermare che sia il libro più strano e zozzo che ho letto finora.
Me ne pento? Nemmeno un po’.
Dopotutto provate voi a iniziare un nuovo lavoro e ritrovarvi subito sommersi di straordinari… avevo bisogno di qualcosa che mi aiutasse a staccare il cervello e questa perla non solo mi ha ucciso i neuroni, ma mi ha fatto a pezzi il lobo frontale.
Ricordi di guerra a parte, perché mentre sto scrivendo mi stanno tornando in mentre le fin troppe scene zozze e i fin troppi “daddy”, c’è persino una trama nel mezzo. Sì, perché si tratta di un mafia romance mischiato con la mitologia greca.
Da una parte abbiamo i semidei che sono tutti dei cazzoni assurdi.
Dall’altra abbiamo i mostri che hanno ovviamente delle rimostranze verso il nepotismo.
Insomma, di saette, melograni, pioggia d’oro (più bianca in realtà) e altri riferimenti il testo ne è pieno. Persino Zeus decide di fare una capatina. Per non dire chi compare sul finale!
Lo stile non è dei migliori ed è quasi tutto un enorme WTF, ma se cercate qualcosa di leggero con cui farvi quattro risate se non siete troppo schizzinose, fateci un pensierino.

📖 Thieves and Monsters by Clio Evans
Star Rating: 4/5 ★★★★
Spice Rating: 5/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Spice Frequency: 5/5 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
POV: Multi/1st
• m0nster romance
• br33ding k!nk w/o pregnancy
• why choose
• fated mates
• group scenes 🥵 (w/ DVP/TP)
• kn0tting
• size difference
When Ashley thinks she’s about to do a job that will free her from her crushing debt to m@fia boss, Hercules, she ends up in the house of Cerberus. An experienced thief stealing a painting from Hades’ h3llhounds should be easy right? Try again. When she’s caught by Damon, Aaecus and Minos…she enters into a contract with them that will pay her debt to Hercules. The conditions? Be their s3x sl@ve for the week. Yes, it is as unhinged and sexy as it sounds. 😉
Perfect for the monster romance lover, Thieves and Monsters has it all. I thoroughly enjoyed the spice, the storyline, and the artwork that was shown in the KU version of the book. It was an easy and fun read and kept me on my toes while also satisfying that hunger for something EXTRA spicy. 🌶️
The four stars comes from a few grammatical errors and that this book wasn’t LIFE CHANGING for me but it was super fun to read and I will 100% be reading every other book by Clio Evans ever.

3.5 Somewhat interesting Greek mythology Mafia world, but it isn't very fleshed out in this book. But let's be real, you're not here for the plot. 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 spiciness. This book was filthy and I was kinda here for it.

I really don't know how to rate this. I can't quite get my brain around it. And the ending spice scene was just weird - why would a 3 headed one bodied shifter still have 3 🍆🍆🍆? The confusion was distracting. This may have been just a step too far in my shifter reading- it was a little too close to beastiality for me. The original concept was good but it went beyond my personal comfort levels. Sometimes you just go a step too far, lol
In the end I decided this was 1⭐️ book for me- I would not recommend it or read it again- time did not soften my distaste for this book as I'd thought it may.

If you would've told me a year ago that I would be obsessed with Monster Mafia romance, I would've called you crazy. I loved the book. I loved this book so much. The crazy parts, the not so crazy parts. I loved all of it. I can't wait to read more.

Read your content warnings. I cannot stress this enough. Read. Your. Content. Warnings. It is all there.
Now that that's out of the way. I am here for a new spin on mythology. I love reading about characters that I've met many, many times, in new and fun ways. This was certainly new, and it was definitely fun. Very naughty as well. Ashley is a thief, sent to steal from Cerberus by Hercules. She gets caught by the three men that can shift into monsters and combine to form the monster of legend, Cerberus. They are Mighty Morphin' Power Hellhounds!! And I was here for it.
When they catch her, Damon, one head of Cerberus, wants to kill her. However, his other two monster men, Minos and Aaecus, are not about that. They want her. So they draw up a contract for her to be their sex slave for 7 days. After the contract is fulfilled, they will pay off her debt to Hercules and she is free to go on her merry way.
Then all Hades breaks loose. Not literally, but nothing goes to plan in this book. Well, I'm sure they went to someone's plan. Specifically, Clio Evans's and the Fates' plans. But certainly not Ashley, Damon, Minos, OR Aaecus. All of their plans go to shit. And it's pretty funny to watch.
This did drag a little for me. I knew that some of the content, listed in the fairly thorough content warning was not for me, and I was right. I managed to push through, and I'm glad I did. But those things did hang me up a few times and that's ultimately why I can't give this a higher rating.

I tried, but there's dubious consent and there's straight up rap3. This is the latter. I'm giving up on Cleo Evans' books. They're really not for me.

What did I just read?!? The first half of this book was dark, problematically/toxically dark at times, and then half way through fated mates kicks in and she gets over & forgives everything so they can boink their brains out. The characters & relationships had very little depth and were completely superficial. The writing was mediocre with tons of grammatical mistakes, word repetition, the pacing was off, & there was no real plot or an kind of character development. The spice was bonkers, ridiculous, & kinky AF.

For real though, there are no words to describe how much I enjoyed this book. I absolutely loooooved the characters (Aaecus probably being my favorite but psst 🤫). The dynamic between all of them. All the smut and dirty talking had me dripping ughhhh 💦💦
I'm not gonna lie though, the plot wasn't really there. I sort of expected much on that front, but I don't really read Clio's books for the plot anyway, so I didn't mind it that much. However, if you're looking for plot, this is not the place. Sex is the major plot. And I'm a-okay with that.

(arc review) In the city of Moirai, monsters from ancient times and the few remaining demigods live among the humans. There is no longer a division between villains and heroes - they're all villains now and everyone runs one of the 10 subdivisions of the Three Fates Mafia.
One of the subdivisions is Cerberus: Damon, Aecus and Minos were once the hellhounds of the underworld, cursed to live forever together as the three-headed dog Cerberus, but were now given a new chance at life among mortals.
So they each have their human body and their wolven body - but they also merge and form the immense 3-headed, 3 *headed* dog. 😂
Ashley is an art thief sent by Hercules, Cerberus' rival, to steal a painting from their penthouse. But she gets caught and they make her a tempting offer: spend 1 week as their little f* toy and get out alive (and free of debt). Very romantic, imo.
But of course these mobsters will fall one at a time, and Ashley is going to find out very quickly that this monster 🍆 business is not that disgusting. And that maybe she was already more involved in this world of myths and monsters than she thought.
I'm really digging Clio's dark side. Aecus, Damon and Minos are really monsters, they mistreat Ashley a lot in the beginning - but then they grovel a lot after, just the way we like it.
Ashley is such a badass, she shoots with no mercy and wraps everyone around her little finger - except when she decides to kneel to be the mobster's good girl. And those who already know Clio's books know what I'm talking about. These moments are not scarce, haha.🫠
Some of you may recognize this story. T&M is a re-release, it came out as a novella a year ago, and now the whole series is being restructured. The general idea is the same, but it's been rewritten and is now a novel in length, with a much more developed story. 🖤

4.5⭐️ 4/5🌶
This originally came out in 2021 as a co-write but has now been written. This version seems to be much more fleshed out. Of course there were some changes that made the story flow much better, the bare bones of it remains the same from the original one.

DNF @ pg 242(75%)
Reason for DNF: I didn't have any interest to pick it back up or to find out how it ends.

I read the original Thieves and Monsters last year and absolutely fell in love with these characters. When Clio said the story was getting revamped, I was so excited to new things would be added and what stayed. Clio DID NOT disappoint with this book 👏🏽. The plot and spice are just as amazing as before.. maybe even better 😏. I love the dynamic of Ashley, Damon, Minos, and Aaecus so much. The tension and chemistry between them is EVERYTHING!! I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

I read the first edition of this one so no surprise that I loved this one!! The action! The dialogue! The smut!! All top tier as usual for for a Clio Evans book. Another one to add to my 5/5 would recommend, read again and purchase a physical copy to put right next to my other edition.

Arc review
I got the chance to read the first version of it so I was really curious to see what kind of changes Clio did. I was really happy to see some part of the old book and I really enjoyed to newest one. The smutt was as always really hot and on point. I really enjoyed the book, the storyline is really interesting, Ashley was a totale badass ! I CANT WAIT for the next book
