Beautiful monsters jex lane5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() You really sympathize for Matthew as despite the terrible situation he’s put in, which is right in the middle of a centuries long war between Vampires and Incubi, he falls in love with the general. His “love interest,” the Incubus General Tarrick, tricks him into slavery and slowly and methodically breaks him down until he’s calling the Incubi his “master.” It certainly doesn’t help that the general also uses sex as a weapon to manipulate the MC into performing specific orders. ![]() In this book, it’s way more obvious and it really makes you feel for the main character: Matthew Callahan. It plays on the mental and emotional manipulation that people have often speculated happening in another fictional vampire franchise: Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. ![]() I wouldn’t call this a romance title at all though far from it in actuality. What truly drew me in was the M/M romance mentioned by the genre listings and from many other reviewers on Goodreads. For me, it died with TV shows like The Vampire Diaries and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I haven’t looked back too much to be completely honest. In all fairness, I knew going in that I wasn’t going to absolutely love this story because I’ve just been so done with the whole vampire cliché for quite some time. Genre(s): Paranormal, LGBT Total Star Rating: 3.5 Stars ![]()
