Stranded with the Kraken (Clearwater Monsters, Book 1) - Zoe Ashwood

Cosy, spicy, monster romance

This is the first book I’ve read with tentacle action. Who knew I’d like it!?

Stranded with the Kraken is book one of the PNR Clearwater Monsters series. It’s a long novella which is spicy from the start and stays that way throughout the story.

Our human FMC is snowed in with her hook-up, who happens to be a kraken shifter. All of those tentacles. What else is there to do when you’re snowed in during a power cut?

If you like forced proximity, cosy romance, big cinnamon roll monsters and a lot of spice to go with it, then I wholeheartedly recommend this.

A Taste of Magic (Magic of the Damned, Book 3) - McKenzie Hunter

Devious deities, monstrous magicians and more than a sprinkling of spice. 

This is the final installment of this PNR series and it didn’t disappoint. If you like your paranormal romance with devious monsters and a dash of spice, then this is a series for you.

Our FMC, Luna, is in a sticky situation. She has no magic; it has been stolen by a powerful Dark Caster who would happily leave the supernatural world without magic. Everyone in the supernatural world blames her. Most of them would happily see her dead, including family members of the Prince of Darkness, who has claimed her as his own. 

Will she be able to reclaim her magic or is it gone forever? Can her relationship with the Prince survive? Can she, herself, survive?

I love the way this ended. It could have gone down a wholly predictable route but it didn’t. 

The reading order is as follows:

Book 1 : A Touch of Brimstone

Book 2 : A Hint of Darkness

Book 3 : A Taste of Magic
