Monsters are real, and everyone knows it. When Mikey, an employee at the US Department of Fish and Wildlife, is assigned to rescue an abused creature at Samuel’s Carnival Extravaganza, he feels drawn to the sympathetic thing. But, rescuing and nursing the creature back to health has some…unforeseen consequences. Not only can Renin talk, but he has the same urges and needs as a human—urges and needs now set on his savior, Mikey. Ones which Mikey can’t say he doesn’t reciprocate. As a creature used to high levels of socialization, keeping him in isolation with little stimulation could be doing him more harm than good. For the second time, Mikey must break Renin out of captivity, bringing him home for…safe keeping. While ending up in Mikey’s home is one of the best things to happen to Renin, multiple forces threaten to tear them apart. Mikey’s boyfriend, for one, isn’t accepting of the creature making itself comfortable in Mikey’s bed. The government is desperate to get their creature back, and will stop at nothing to have him. And then, there’s what’s hidden in the woods—watching, waiting, ready to strike at Renin at the first opportunity. With everything seemingly against them, Mikey may not be able to hold on to his creature for very long.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice “monster” story
    Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2019
    Format: Kindle
    Mike is an enforcement officer for Fish and Wildlife. When he find a creature being abused in a carnival he rescues him. When he learns that the monster Renin can talk and is intelligent he knows he has to rescue him from his newest cage. He didn’t anticipate issues he would face letting Renin make a home with him. Also he didn’t know just how much he will come to care for Renin. Until he has to let him go.

    I wasn’t sure what to expect from this story. It was very unusual. At first I was a little surprised at the sexual relationship between man and monster. Then it just became Renin and Mike, so what if Renin had feathers and a very talented tail. A very engaging story about not taking a “Monster” at face value.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Worth a read!

    This is the first I've read from this author and it definitely left a good impression!

    The story is very compelling, though a tad bit slow in the beginning, it really picks up after the first few chapters. The relationships between the characters (especially Mikey and Renin of course!) are complex but sweet. Once I got about halfway through, it was impossible to put this one down. Definitely give this one a go if you liked The Shape of Water, Cold Skin, or the author's other work, Scales of Gold!

    4.0 out of 5 stars An easy read and a nice way to spend an afternoon!

    Received an ARC from the Author

    More of a slow burn than I am used to, but a delightful one to be sure. Just enough heat to tease you until the main event.
    I did have some small issues with the drawn out failing relationship between Mike and another since that particular trope isn't to my taste, but by the end I was cheering on Mike and Renin regardless.

    For fellow Monster lovers this is a good book to waste an afternoon with.
