First Impressions
Soul Eater is the first book in the "Monstrous" series and I have been really apprehensive about monster romances because I can't do it when they are too animalistic. It just way too close to the beastiality fetish. But I was recommended this one by a wonderful friend over at instagram who knew that this was more supernatural feeling in the monster and now having read this infamous monster romance I definitely understand now why its been so popular. And while it wasn't a perfect read, it was quite entertaining and the monster aspects of the story worked for me, not sure if I will invest in the series though, will do some research on the other books before deciding whether to move forward or not.

First Line
"Alright, men. This is the culmination of twenty years of intel, lost lives and millions of dollars.

Summary
Our story begins in a post apocalyptic world set in the United States, we have our human protagonist "Danny" who is in the military and joined when he was stuck in the city and lost his only family. Now he is just another "grunt" and a cog in the machine. He is sent in the barren lands called the "Wastes" to confront the "Soul Eater" aka Wyn. His wholed troop is killed by the Soul Eater, but he is left alive. His commanders capture Wyn and wants Danny to find out all the information he can on him. Wyn and Danny form an alliance and friendship of sorts. Wyn gives Danny an option to stay with his military forces, go out on his own or join him on his travels. Danny decides to join Wyn despite not knowing what to expect from Wyn. What starts out as a alliance, turns into a friendship and into something deeper on a romantic level. But their enemies will test their relationship in their journey across the American lands...

What I Loved
There was so much that I loved about this story. First, I adored this futuristic world in the States. It was so intriguing and I love the post apocalypitic worlds that authors create and this one was just right. The author really handles the atmospheric vibes so well in this one. But we also have such strong friendship between Wyn and Danny. And their meet cute was so intense and compelling. I just had to keep with their story because I was so drawn into their relationship and the connection that they have together. Now granted, there is so much mystery surrounding Wyn as he is killing human. But once you learn the secrets of what happens then it really makes sense what he is doing and his true mission. We get to meet one of his friends along the way and I am so tempted to read his book. haha

The romance that develops between Danny and Wyn was so precious. I loved the way that they explore each other and really have this connection that is so much more than on the physical level. Its intense and poignant and melted my heart with each chapter. I was immediately on the team cheering for these two to find their way. They definitely have some challenges that they both need to overcome and seeing them work together and work with their issues really resonates on a deep human level.

What I Struggled With
Some of the sex scenes were a little strange. I went with it because its a monster romance but it did turn me off a bit. And some of the pacing in the middle of the story was a bit slow at times. And the plot was a bit more simple than I would have liked. I would have preferred a bit more complexity developed in the storyline.

Overall View
I found Soul Eater to be sexy urban fantasy romance that had great focus on the romantic relationship and solid world building that will leave you eager to read the next in the series.

Steam/Spice Explanations

Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes. ( )

I liked this, even if it was very different from what I’d been expecting. Because who would’ve thought a dystopian book with honest-to-goodness monsters in it could be so sweet?? ( )

Cute, fun, wish there was slightly more action considering this is post-apocalyptic but I would continue on with these series, though maybe not right away because this basically functions as a stand-alone. ( )
