About this book
Hazel
The universe created me for a purpose, and I have no problem fulfilling my destiny... Right up until I feed on the wrong angel. He deserved it, but as fate would have it, he had a cluster of his own, who track me with ruthless precision.
When my family ends up at risk, I have no choice but to leave the only home I’ve ever known. Luckily, a friend in Black Cove rents me a room in her house, and I have just enough magic to pass as a witch. It’s a tough adjustment, and I’m lonelier than I’ve ever been, but I settle in, even getting a job at Spellbound.
Except things get complicated all over again when a sinful incubus moves into one of the other rooms at the house I’m renting.
I’m barely managing that mess when an almost seven-foot-tall archangel walks into the spell shop, seeking help to locate the creature that ate his friend...
Only that creature is me.
My house of cards is so shaky that one heavy exhale could knock the whole thing down.
Have I mentioned angels are the worst?
Hazel's Choice takes place in the same sanctuary city for monsters that Greer's Change does. You'll likely get the most enjoyment reading them in order, but it was written so it can be read independently. There is no cheating, no choosing, and no cliffhanger.

Every single book in this ‘next generation’ series was so so good and I’m hoping that the last two in the series get their own audiobooks soon but, I loved all of them equally! I’ve read all of them multiple times and not a single one has gotten old. The spice was fantastic in all four books and the angel-demon back and forth in this last book was so well written! I seriously have not read a book by Jillian West that has not been a 5 ⭐️ read! And if you need a spice rating for the books then...

Hazel’s Choice is packed with tension, morally complicated romance, supernatural politics, and a heroine walking a razor’s edge between fate and freedom. It’s seductive. It’s dangerous. It’s emotionally charged. With delicious enemies-to-lovers energy, a sinful incubus roommate, and stakes that could shatter worlds, this book is equal parts sharp, seductive, and suspenseful. Because sometimes destiny isn’t about what you were made to do… It’s about what you choose instead. If you love morally...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ Spice Hazel’s Choice is hands-down my favorite in not only the Monstrous World second gen series, but my favorite in the entire Monstrous World. Ever since Hazel was introduced as the baby devourer in The Monster’s Mate I’ve been begging and pleading for Hazel’s book and Jillian did not disappoint. Hazel is everything I want to see in an FMC (strong, can hold her own and is scary AF in her monster form), but not only that she’s got the perfect mates. Annex the trash...

This was such a fun ending for the Next Gen Monstrous World Series! Hazel was IMO the most interesting offspring from our first gen crew and it was so cool to see her powers from her POV. Her MMCs were such opposites to each other and they both compliment her well - it made for a really humorous read! Definitely recommend reading the entire series and the next gen so you can get allll the vibes - they’re all amazing books! In typical Jillian fashion we have 🔥 spicy scenes, a great cast of...
