About this book

I like to describe myself as an ethical ghoul. I’ve been working at Broth with a Bite in the Creepy Court Mall food court for eight years so that I can get my… very specific nutritional needs in a way that doesn’t make me feel like too much of a monster. I work in the ‘special’ kitchen, preparing food for our customers with the same, ahem, dietary issues, and I’m totally fine working alongside the humans who run the other kitchen and have no idea what’s actually served.

Until the new guy starts. The new human guy with the cutest shy smile and the raddest hair and a body that makes my mouth water. He looks like a very decent mouthful and smells like the best five-course meal rolled into one.

Suddenly, Ricky is all I can think about. Sweet, delicious Ricky who has no idea he’s working in a restaurant for ghouls, who has no idea ghouls even exist, and who I just want to take a big bite out of. Not, like, literally. Kind of.

It's totally wrong for a ghoul to lust after a human. They’re food. But I can’t help it. I want Ricky bad. I just have to remember to keep my teeth in check.

⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 This is a fun MM monster romance novella set in the ’80s. It was originally published in the Creepy Court Monster Mall Anthology but was revamped and released as a standalone. Set in an 80’s mall food court, MMC Elliot is a ghoul working at a restaurant that has a side business “ethically” catering to ghoul diets (it’s people). Human MMC Ricky starts working on the human side of the restaurant, and Elliot is instantly obsessed. I really enjoyed this book. It was full of fun ’80s vibes,...

Elliot really wants to take a bite out of Ricky, maybe literally. He mostly just wants to kiss him though. 😏 Spoilers ahead! This is a cute and quick read. The chemistry between these two is on fire right away. And Elliot calling Ricky muffin is the cutest thing!! I was very worried how Ricky was gonna take the whole ghoul thing, I didn't want these two sweethearts to fight!Thankfully that doesn't happen. On a serious note: I also appreciated showing how the ideals other people/society put on...

I like it and….

The book was good but the pace of the relationship and the way it ended is why it’s 3 stars for me. The relationship felt like it progressed really quickly and considering both their hangups it felt unbelievable. The ending made me feel like there should have been at least 2 more chapters. We didn’t get a glimpse into parent or coworker perspectives on the relationship and honestly it felt like they both were deciding to hide it from their personal lives which would have been great to expand...
