About this book

It's been ten years since my family was murdered right in front of me by someone we were supposed to trust. I was only eighteen at the time and barely survived myself, and I've spent the last decade running from my past. I still remember every single detail like it all happened yesterday.

The nightmares keep me awake at night, and the whispers taunt me for it.

After the sudden death of my only aunt, I suddenly found myself the owner of that wretched place, and now I have no choice but to go back and face my demons. But what I didn't expect was for those demons to be…literal monsters. Monsters who feed off of pain and human suffering. They’re alluring and seductive…terrifying, utterly inhuman, and slowly but surely, they're drawing me into their dark, twisted world.

I’m torn between wanting to give into my fantasy of burning this place to the ground with me inside of it, ending it once and for all, and wanting to live for these monster men who need me just as much as I might need them. To feed them…to give them what they so desperately crave.

I don't know what's going to happen to me, but I can't deny that I'm strangely drawn to these deadly creatures that seem to have crawled out of the dark depths of my nightmares. Some people say this house is cursed, and maybe they're right, because as much as I try to fight it, I can feel myself being pulled further and further into the dark...and you know what..?

I might just dive right in.

This is a very dark why-choose monster standalone. See TW inside.

Dammmm

Iris is a fabulous character. She's the lone survivor of a tragic story in her childhood. Family is gone. She has no one who cares about me. She goes through life filled with a daze from toxicity. Empty encounters with random men, drinking and whatever drugs she can get. But a mysterious call brings her home. Back to a nightmare she keeps reliving. The huge southern estate is empty except for what hides in the night. Returning home was only meant to be until she burned it down. But from the...

Sadder than expected but still really good

Penn Cassidy's House of Monsters is a thrillingly dark and deeply emotional dive into the monster romance genre. Following Iris Cooper as she returns to her family's cursed estate, I was immediately struck by the book's unapologetically sinister atmosphere. What stood out most was the author's commitment to the darkness. The house felt like a character itself, and the descriptions of the monsters were fantastic—they were truly alluring and terrifying creatures, not just men with horns. This is...

Loved it!

I was hooked and scared throughout this story. Iris is a crazy character because I don’t think anyone in there right mind would do what she did. Plus, the voice in her head that developed after the trauma she went through just proves that she actually is crazy. The reason she is not in a mental institution is because she knows how to hide it by medicating herself. The monsters are dark with not an ounce of humanity and it was scary. Overall I think it was a great story to enjoy in October in...

No Romance, Just Pure Smut

October 19, 2023

This was not at all what I was expecting when I picked this up, but I still enjoyed the story and the ending was very fitting. Please note that there isn’t any romance at all in this. Just pure smut and more of a obsessive and possessive claiming. If you like dark stories with gore, with tentacles and monsters, pick this up! ) 4 people found this helpful

A good Dark romance

November 29, 2022

I know the author said this wasn’t a romance but hell I would have to disagree. Lol these monsters low-key had me swooning. One thing about me is I can do dark romance as long as it has what I view as a relatively good/ happy ending. Also I can’t do ow or cheating which I wouldn’t classify as dark but it’s one of my trigger in general and this didn’t have that, thus I wasn’t really triggered by what I was reading. Funnily enough, it was actually a pretty safe read for me! Was it deliciously...
