A Monstrous Night Out Ari Monstrous “Okay. So obviously we can’t go out to a regular bar, but we can make our own bar here. In the house.” Ari pointedly ignored the way Siri’s head popped up and her eyes went wide with excitement. She had a well thought out speech put together to […]
‘Tis the Season (The Pumpkin Spice Season) Ella Monstrous “Michael, did you know there’s an entire subculture dedicated to pumpkin spice?” Ella stared at her mate until he looked up from his phone, his expression caught between confused and amused. “I’ve seen candles and lattes and cereal that’s pumpkin spice flavored. It’s incredible.” “Yeah, […]
Kitchen Duty Liz Monstrous Being in charge of the kitchen at the house wasn’t a hardship. Not for Liz, at least. When she lived with the pack, kitchen duty had been a chore. A hundred plus ravenous wolves to feed had sucked all the joy out of cooking. Plus, she hadn’t been in charge […]
Whew. Another month gone by. My kiddo is back in school (college, so it’s not like he’s underfoot when he’s home or anything, but…wait a second! How do I have a college-age kid again? MAN, time flies!) and pumpkin spice lattes are back at Starbucks. GOOD TIMES! What happened on the bookish front? WELL… Monstrous […]

Damn Fabulous Ari Monstrous If there was an award for most fabulous nymph, Ari expected she’d win it without even trying. Wait. Maybe she was being hasty. After all, it wasn’t like she knew any other actual nymphs. Maybe they were all as fabulous as her. Whatever. No way were there other nymphs out […]
Her Gargoyle Cin Monstrous In the grand scheme of things, finding a job after graduation was…well, it wasn’t really on Cin’s list of Things That Were Important. That was probably the wrong attitude to have, but there was so much more to focus on than her future that…. Well, shit. If Vane heard her […]
All’s Fair in Love and Cinnamon Rolls Ella Monstrous Ari, the little sneak, was hording the last cinnamon roll. Ella knew she was. She could feel it in her bones. Her damn wings kept twitching whenever Ari walked by with that too-innocent look on her face. Right now, Ari was in the living room, […]
Going a Little Crazy Ari Monstrous The bakery was busy. Given it was the middle of the week and it they’d come in late enough they should have missed the early morning rush, this bothered Ari a little. She’d come for cinnamon rolls, dammit, and she wanted her cinnamon rolls. Now. Immediately. The thought […]
