Woah! This book took the boogeyman and made him desirable。 And then multiplied that 👻👻👻。 All the little things that came together?! So good! Definitely worth reading if you like monsters!

I love this book!!! The bogeyman meets RH! Such a fantastic storyline I was sucked in from the very start。 I couldn't put this book down, I enjoyed it so much I read it in one sitting and now I'm counting down the days to book two so I can get some answers!

Monsters 🤤I’ve always loved villains and monsters in stories so naturally I was thirsty for this book when I saw it up for preorder。 The story was interesting and the plot didn’t fall flat or seem shallow with minimal details。 The plot progression was evenly paced without feeling rushed。 The concept of the world of boogeymen and its dynamic especially when related to the humans and their world was descriptive and made for an interesting read。 It was definitely unique and honestly a lot more than Monsters 🤤I’ve always loved villains and monsters in stories so naturally I was thirsty for this book when I saw it up for preorder。 The story was interesting and the plot didn’t fall flat or seem shallow with minimal details。 The plot progression was evenly paced without feeling rushed。 The concept of the world of boogeymen and its dynamic especially when related to the humans and their world was descriptive and made for an interesting read。 It was definitely unique and honestly a lot more than what I had expected。 MJ usually always has me laughing out loud with her books but this one didn’t have the same comedic tone as some of her others。 Not that I am complaining because I think the lack of comedy makes this story a little bit more on the eerie side which is perfect considering the time of year。 The characters are all unique with differing personalities that helps keep them from blending together。 And I love the good doctor 🤤😍 I was worried that the author would ultimately write him out of the series but I think she has something else planned that I am sure to love!!! The steam is hot…I mean we get some monster c*** scenes 😈 This book wasn’t just some monster smut or porn, it had a good story line to it that has me intrigue and excited to read book 2。 。。。more
Beth Knight,
This one was a pleasant surprise! With the way the book is written, the first half in the human world, the second in the monsters world, you get two stories that have a surprising connection。 Also, the way it is written you kind of forget that the monsters are monsters。 Anyway, I loved the ending and I'm excited for the second one。 This one was a pleasant surprise!

Mariah Vollmer,
Love this book! It’s so different than anything else i have read。 I love that they are Actual monsters that have inhuman body parts and love and posses in a way that humans just don’t。 I’m crossing my fingers for Mark (that ending was unexpected!) being able to step up and help save her。 Or Alexis saving herself。
April Hampton,
Absolutely fabulous! Monsters Under My Bed is full of intrigue and the storyline hooked me from the very beginning。 This story is a tad on the darker side and I’m loving it! I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Vicki,
I was given an ARC of this book with no obligation to write a review, but I couldn't help but give my honest review as I really loved this book!Alexis grew up knowing there were monsters under her bed。 At first, she was afraid of the shadowy bogeymen, but she soon came to trust them and they eventually became her friends。 Then, when she turned 18, there was an incident that caused her to leave home and run away from her monsters。 Now, 12 years later, she's home again and her monsters aren't lett I was given an ARC of this book with no obligation to write a review, but I couldn't help but give my honest review as I really loved this book!Alexis grew up knowing there were monsters under her bed。 At first, she was afraid of the shadowy bogeymen, but she soon came to trust them and they eventually became her friends。 Then, when she turned 18, there was an incident that caused her to leave home and run away from her monsters。 Now, 12 years later, she's home again and her monsters aren't letting her get away again。 Alexis is THEIR mate and they intend to claim her and breed her!This book was amazing! M。J。 Marstens is a talented author and the story was so well written that I couldn't put it down! Xhoshad (red eyed monster), Nerazi (yellow eyed monster), and Seriq (green eyed monster) had their own POV in the story, along with Alexis, and I just loved them! Each monster was born of destructive human emotions, much like the beings in Pandora's Box。 Xhoshad is formed by coercion and is the leader of the group, Nerazi is greed and mischievousness (a nice combination, especially during smexxy times!), and Seriq (my favorite。。。Ok, I love them all!) is possessive。 Think "MINE, MINE, MINE!!" I enjoyed the characters and the riveting plot。 And yes, the smexxy scenes with their long tongues。。。 nice。。。 long。。。 tongues。 And their。。。 um。。。 other huge body parts。。。 Nevertheless, it's not just smex。 This book is very descriptive with the monsters' world and quite exciting。 Oh, and there is a really "bad guy" and his army, who want to destroy them and take their mate for himself。 What happens next? Read the story and see! This story is awesome if you love monster romance and it's perfect if you are new to monster romance like I was。 The monsters are so endearing that you'll be looking under your bed and wishing for monsters of your own to be there! Definitely recommend! 。。。more
Juliane Mendes,
Oh my gosh wowI have no words this book took me on so many twists and turns。 I think I might wish I had some monsters under my bed cause ohh my gosh。 Cannot wait for the next book
Dominique,
Sooo, the author's note alone had me laughing。 Laughter, as well as a variety of other emotions, is something that I can always count on with Marstens and she delivers yet again with Monsters Under My Bed。 This storyline is a bit on the darker side of things and I'm ready for the journey! We get a unique storyline along with a couple of the tropes that are well loved。 There is steam, and a whole slew of mystery。 I'm excited to see what's next!

LOVED ITI was a little confused at first when I found that a big chunk of the story featured the fmc and her Ex, but after reading the book I understood why that was。 And I have to say… I LOVED where the story went!!!

Nerazi is mischievous ( I find his fake gentleman act so hot and idk why), Seriq is possessive with a tendency to speak few very little words (and you know what? he gets his point across), and Xzoshad is the monster equivalent of a Teddy Bear。 I fell in love with them and this book, and I dying to see them again in the next one。 Also did I mention there is art? Deliciously raunchy art? Did I happen to cackle like an excited lunatic when I saw it。 Absolutely。 This book is hot hot hot and 100% worth the read。 。。。more

Oh wow! This book is just fantastic! In true MJ style it is super sexy。 It also has a fantastic story line, which this author manages to do time and time again no matter what the topic is!I really enjoyed that everything went the opposite of what I expected it to and it continually kept me guessing。 I did want to throw my kindle once I reached the end。。。so thanks for that, but for me it is a sign of a truly great story line that leaves you wanting more, and more of everything, especially the bog Oh wow!

Michele,
Such an intriguing story with so many layers to the background that as soon as you think you have a handle on the twists another springs up。 Alexis is running from the Bogeymen of her childhood and dreams but also towards them。 Sent back to her hometown unexpectedly she is stuck confronting her fears and her past but it's not as anticipated。 How is this all going to play out with the portals new visitor at the end?

Nance,
When I first started reading this book I thought Alexis had every right to be scared of the monsters under her bed but then the story turned into a great love story。I thought this was a great read that was a hot and steamy and it does end on a cliffhanger。 I can’t wait for the next book!

Looking forward to book two! 。。。more

Wow! If you’re a monster romance lover this book takes it to a whole new level。 The harem is made of a bogeymen who in most circumstances would be the thing of nightmares and for a time that was the case for Alexis but everything changes in this book。 I enjoyed how Marstens set up the back story for Alexis and her monsters。 She did a beautiful job of giving us a beautifully broken and imperfect main character that you can’t help but root for。 I was also pleasantly surprised by all the twists and Wow!

What if the monsters under your bed were real。。 Alexis finds out the hard way what can happen when the boogeyman haunting her dreams isn't a dream。 I loved this story, its unique and loaded with feelings and dark imagery。 There's heightened emotions and tons of steam and monsters。 There's a bit of a cliffhanger, but don't let it stop you。 I can't wait for the next book。 What if the monsters under your bed were real。。 Alexis finds out the hard way what can happen when the boogeyman haunting her dreams isn't a dream。 I loved this story, its unique and loaded with feelings and dark imagery。 There's heightened emotions and tons of steam and monsters。 There's a bit of a cliffhanger, but don't let it stop you。 I can't wait for the next book。 。。。more

When I saw this book I was so here for it! I'm digging the monster vibes that are going around the RH community right now。 This book was so much more than just monster smut though - there was a solid plot throughout, but some hot AF sexy time too。Don't expect to get to the goods too early in this story, there's a lot of groundwork and setup that MJ has to lay to make sure the reader is thoroughly entrenched in the world。 The dynamics of the monster world are so interesting and I can't wait to le When I saw this book I was so here for it!
