He’s very powerful and insists Matthew call him “master” but really, the guy’s pathetic. He’s supposed to be the romantic interest but never once did he do anything to deserve that. Even during this one, I’d started to feel that the constant mistreatment Matthew faced was getting pointless. That’s why I’m never reading the sequels. I’m just not holding out for one since, from what I know of the rest of the series, the author really enjoys torturing him.

That’s not to say that I want him to be miserable. Also, Matthew was such a Mary Sue, excelling at everything, but so weak in willpower. It was a tedious cycle that decimated any impact Matthew’s “breaking” would have. Except the whole ‘I will not break’ thing would happen again.

Every couple of chapters, Matthew would tell himself that he wouldn’t break, but then he would and say that he’s given up. Matthew is kidnapped, locked up, humiliated, starved, tortured, and basically broken is every way a guy can be. It’s just, I couldn’t, for the life of me, take the book seriously. The latter, unfortunately, may not be a good thing, not unless it was the author’s intention for the reader to be entertained by the misery of the main characters. This book is quite fucked up, yet strangely entertaining. Incubus guy, Tarrick, kidnaps Matthew and so begins the torture.

Then he comes across an incubus, something he didn’t even know existed. Matthew lives alone and tries not to kill too many people. The main characters is a vampire and he’s been one for only a few years. The reason is mostly the fact that I couldn’t rate it and I just don’t know what to think. And now that it’s been a couple of weeks since I finished it, and though this post will be pretty review-like, I’m still not calling it a review. I knew before I even finished reading that I wouldn’t be writing a proper review for the book. Series: Beautiful Monsters #1 (the series has at least three more books) Genre: Paranormal, Fantasy, M/M, (not really) Romance
