Nightshades: A Dark Monster Romance (The Monster Stalker Series Book 4)
by January Rayne
About this book
I’m a monster DNA experiment and her nightmares are mine.
In a world full of daydreams, I am the nightmare who haunts them.
Being kidnapped and experimented on violated me, but I love the power I have been given.
I get to inflict pain. Suffering. Fear.
And my favorite, death.
I will rid the world of the bad, even if it means having to kill the good.
Remorse? Humanity? Kindness? The little I had as a human died the day I became what people fear.
Mmm, I’m hard just thinking about it.
I do love when people are terrified of me.
Especially her.
Detective Lula Sanchez.
Her case files are a threat, and I have to protect her from the people she is hunting.
The only one allowed to install fear in her is me.
Her terror? I own.
Her thrills? They belong to me.
Her nightmares? Claimed.
When her eyes close every night, Lula will succumb to my darkness.
She’s mine.
And all my beasts agree.
This is book four in The Monster Stalker Series. The author recommends reading in order and asks that you please read the trigger warnings which are located at the very front of the book as this is a dark romance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐.25 / 5 Heat level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ / 5 (4 for content, maybe 3 peppers for frequency) I feel a little speechless after reading this. January Rayne writes some of the most creatively obscure characters that are refreshing in their individuality. Every time I think we have the most morally black monsters, January goes and writes a new book that dazzles me with an MMC even morally darker than before. Have you ever been sort of horrified and intrigued at the same time? No? Well that describes my...

Romance: 🖤💙❤️💜 Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Pairing: MF (Monster/Human) Format: Ebook January Rayne did it again with this one and it’s definitely darker so check those trigger warnings. I love unhinged monsters (the best kind) with huge peens (hello Duskwalker Brides) but WOW 🤣 this one was a unique one for sure and not sure what it says about me that I love Shade. Shade is our monstrous MMC who is part rhino, nightmare, nightshade (the plant), vampire and anglerfish (take a guess how that's...

Literally out of all of January Rayne's monster stalker books this one has been the most f***ed up in my opinion ☠️. The author even states before each read that she let her imagination run wild with this series so each monster made by experiments is a combination of multiple monster/animal DNAs and for this one we got Shade who is a Rhino, Nightmare, Vampire, Anglerfish & Nightshade ✨ And he is a straight savage, so yes this book is very bloody Gore filled and the few smut scenes are just as...

Its ok, It was way more on the shock factor. I do love me some extra dark romances and monsters! This felt a little rushed for me and could have been longer with more added. It was a nice quick read, I will finish the others as well at some point (I know i started with book 4 but I needed to know about the light on the um........downstairs) ) 2 people found this helpful
