Beautiful Monsters · #2
Sire
“Because love is the easiest way to control someone and I needed a way to control you.”
Still mending a broken heart, Matthew has spent a year avoiding incubi and their army of hunters.
Now he has a new goal: lift the shroud on his past. Why had he been turned and abandoned by his sire? Why didn’t he feel the initial bond between sire and child that vampires experience? Who were his parents, and why had they given him up at birth?
Frustrated by dead ends, his luck changes when a teenage girl tracks him down. She’s strange, socially awkward, and she can see the future. Matthew’s future. She’ll help him if he agrees to save her from the darkness…from Tarrick.
With the incubi armies closing in, a mysterious protector appears, swearing his fealty to Matthew. He’s ancient, seductive, and cursed—unable to explain why he keeps calling Matthew ‘my prince’.
The series
In a world where desire is as dangerous as a blade, Beautiful Monsters walks a razor’s edge between seduction and survival. This dark fantasy series doesn’t ask for permission—it sinks its teeth in from the first page and doesn’t let go.
Read full series description
At the center of it all is Matthew, a reluctant incubus raised in the illusion of humanity. When the truth of his bloodline comes crashing down, so does the world he thought he knew. What follows is a visceral descent into an underworld of vampires, demons, and immortals who see power and pleasure as two sides of the same coin. Here, bonds are forged in blood, loyalty is a fragile thing, and love is as likely to destroy as it is to save.
What makes this series stand apart in the crowded landscape of paranormal fantasy is its fearless exploration of identity, dominance, and the blurry boundary between predator and prey. Told in raw, unflinching prose, the story pulls no punches—whether it’s in its vividly brutal action scenes or the magnetic, often dangerous, connections between characters. Power dynamics are never simple. Emotions are never clean.
Atmospheric, brutal, and deeply character-driven, this is not your typical dark romance. The supernatural elements—vampiric politics, demonic rituals, forbidden desires—aren’t just window dressing; they’re integral to a story that’s as much about internal conflict as external war.
For readers drawn to morally gray characters, queer fantasy with sharp teeth, and world-building that simmers with danger and temptation, Beautiful Monsters offers a ride through darkness that’s as intimate as it is intense. It doesn’t shy away from the monstrous—it dares to ask what beauty looks like when it wears a beast’s face.
