Flirting with Monsters: The Complete Series by Eva Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great value boxset containing four books that feature a sassy pyromaniac thief, four sexy-as-sin monsters, and a paranormal conspiracy of epic proportions. Get ready for the ride of your life. I'll put my review of each of the four books below:

#1 Shadow Thief - 5*

Saorsa is a sassy thief who does what she can to release supernatural monsters from the cages they are placed in within collectors' homes. She then lets rip and allows her pyromaniac tendencies free and leaves the whole place burning. On what was just an ordinary job she let three free from their cages, stole some trinkets to pay bills, and did her usual exit. What she didn't count on is that the three very manly monsters would follow her home. So now she has a seductively cheeky incubus, a sweetly enthusiastic demon, and a grimly stoic angel camped out in my kitchen, determined to repay her for her help, and they won’t get out the apartment until they’re satisfied they’re even. It appears that a covert band of hunters caught their boss before the trail went cold. In a lucky coincidence, it now means they are after the same people as Saorsa who is determined to find the people who killed the people she loved the most. So she is all in with them. It should be simple surely to track the baddies down, steal back the boss of the three monsters, stay alive and maybe hook up with a gorgeous monster or two.

I absolutely loved this new series which was all the required features - a sassy woman, some hot supernatural beings and a quest that united them. It was easy to read and addictive as I became more and more involved in the story. Lots of danger and drama in the skirmishes with the hunters kept me glued to my Kindle Fire as I couldn't put it down. Easy to understand and feel the thoughts and emotions of the various characters. Does contain sexual content and is a reverse harem style story.

#2 Twilight Crook - 5*

Saorsa lost her apartment and sense of security while helping the three sexy monsters who followed her home. However, the new lovers (as they now are) make her feel as if she got the better part of the bargain. Unfortunately, their boss Omen who they worked together to rescue, is not at all keen on humans - in fact, all he does is test her and try his best to prove that she is not good enough to continue to help them. Too bad then that her mortal skills are far too useful to ignore - after all, they have the group of monsters torturing people to destroy so they can release all of their prisoners. Interestingly, as part of passing all of the tests set for her by Omen, they discover she has powers that no human is meant to wield which creates the question - if she is not human what is she and can she work out how to use this supernatural side of her nature? After all, this could be her only chance to avenge the murder of the woman who raised her as well as all the beings who have been murdered since. Only one thing seems certain - that she is not going to back down!

Wow - this certainly was an action-packed story that kept me hooked wanting to know what was going to happen next. It was nice to see the relationships between Saorsa and the guys developing and that it felt more two-way than them feeling that they owed her something. The new powers were interesting and I loved the way Omen tried to help her work out how to use them. The ending of this story certainly was dramatic and I can't wait to find out what happens next. Contains some sexual content.

#3 Dusk Avenger - 5*

Saorsa has teamed up with monsters (who are now her lovers) because an organisation called the Company of Light were already on her list to be destroyed have now scaled up that list after they may have damaged one of her demon sweethearts beyond repair - so they are definitely overdue some flame action. However, she needs to be careful as the inner fire she only recently discovered is intent on burning her up at the same time as burning the baddies - somehow she needs to learn some control of this skill before she destroys herself and everything/everyone she loves. So she determines to understand where both it and herself came from - however, will those answers end up being even more dangerous than not knowing in the first place? Enemies are multiplying by the minute and for all Saorsa knows the worst of them could be standing right next to her.

OMG - so much happened in this instalment of the series. It was great to find out a bit more about where Saorsa came from and what her new power was like although I fear that is going to open a whole new set of problems for her. The drama was definitely ratcheting up as the story unfolded further and it definitely ended on a series of cliffhangers that just made me want to scream as I finished the last page of this book in the series. Well written and very easy to feel and empathise with the thoughts and emotions felt by the characters. I definitely enjoyed some of the dramatic moments in this story. Contains some sexual content.

#4 Dark Champion - 5*

Saorsa now knows what she really is with the help of her 4 monster lovers and that, unfortunately, means that the most powerful monsters fear her (or what she is) and want to stamp out her very existence. Add to her list of tasks that they are still trying to destroy the Company of Light and the psycho monster who has teamed up with them, and she really does appear to be between a rock and a hard place. She has also discovered that the demon lover who was her strongest ally has been caught in the middle where both his freedom and his life are on the line. Can she control her powers and find a way to solve all of these problems, or will she be consumed?

This is an action-packed final instalment in the Flirting with Monsters series which will not disappoint whether you want to see more of Saorsa with the monsters, the Company of Light, the psycho monster and even the other characters as everything will work its way into an explosive conclusion. I loved the way everything came together and the final conclusion which was definitely not quite how I had anticipated it finishing. Well written and easy to read, feel and understand, I was completely hooked on the story and was unable to put my copy down as I read through it. My only disappointment was that the series is complete and there are no further adventures for these characters in the future.
