About this book

He was once a blue-collar man, but now he is something far more dangerous. Transformed into a monster DNA experiment, he exists in the shadows of Shallow Cove, his rage tenfold and his instincts feral. By day, he turns to stone on her property, a silent sentinel watching over the woman who has become his entire world. By night, he slips into her home, an invisible stalker driven by a possessive, all-consuming need to claim what he considers his own.

This dark monster romance dives deep into the primal side of the paranormal genre, masterfully weaving together tropes of forced proximity, secret identity, and extreme possessiveness. As he watches her from the darkness, he discovers the scars she hides, fueling a protective fury that promises destruction for anyone who dares to harm her. He is a creature of hunger and hate, yet for her, he offers a devotion that defies his monstrous nature.

January Rayne returns with a gripping addition to the Monster Stalker series that is as visceral as it is addictive. Prepare yourself for a story that is unapologetically dark, intense, and not for the faint of heart. If you crave high-stakes shifter romance where the hero is a terrifying predator who will burn the world to keep his mate safe, this is your next obsession.

The queen of paranormal has done it again!

June 15, 2024

How does each book January Rayne writes just gets better and better! Y'all better be actually reading the trigger warnings before you move forward!! And also that dedication page is perfect!! This is literally a story made up in her amazing mind! It's obviously not real! Now let's get to the good stuff! We have our main female character Mickey. She's been abused and treated like an animal. But if anything she's a fighter! And fight she does! She's a strong woman and doesn't play as a damsel in...

Not for the squeamish

Admittedly, I didn’t read the trigger warnings. I prefer to go into my books blind & be surprised. This book is dark, the monster is possessive and of course loves Mickey with everything he is. They have great chemistry. Rhett is shy & wants to stay hidden due to his own self doubt. She thinks she’s going crazy. There’s a lot of drama from an @busive ex. Very well written story & I stayed engaged the entire book. BUT do not read if you’re squeamish. ***Spoilers*** One of his beasts is a...

June 15, 2024

Finally! Book Two of the Monster Stalker Series of Shallow Cove Dark Dimensions Series, SNAPDRAGONS is here! I am obsessed with HONEYSUCKLES, so you can understand my excitement about this release. The second Monster DNA Experiment lived up to everything I expected and more! January Rayne once again has proven what a talented writer she is! SNAPDRAGONS is amazing! Our latest DNA experiment victim gone rogue is Rhett Royals, a down-on-his-luck mechanic who owns a small business drowning in debt....

I loved this book, I wish I could live in Shallow Cove!

June 19, 2024

5 / 5 Heat rating: 4 / 5 peppers This book was fantastic, and I devoured this in a single sitting. I will say while I loved the first book in the series Honeysuckles, I think I actually loved Snapdragons even more. Personally, I think this one has a few more sweet moments than the first book, but that is not to say that this story is all sunshine and rainbows either. This book put me through all of the feels, from anger to actually laughing out loud and everything in between. I also loved...
