Oh My！I was looking forward to this release， and it didn't disappoint at all！ The character building snuck up on you and made you have a rollercoaster ride of feelings。 I hated Esme's family and loved her monsters。 I had tears and laughter reading the last couple chapters。 I kept worrying it would end on a cliffhanger， but fretted for nowt！ But I'm looking forward to the next book！ If you don't like dark， blood， gore， insanity， or sexy times， don't buy this book。 If you do， ENJOY！！！！ Oh My！I was looking forward to this release， and it didn't disappoint at all！ The character building snuck up on you and made you have a rollercoaster ride of feelings。 I hated Esme's family and loved her monsters。 I had tears and laughter reading the last couple chapters。 I kept worrying it would end on a cliffhanger， but fretted for nowt！ But I'm looking forward to the next book！ If you don't like dark， blood， gore， insanity， or sexy times， don't buy this book。 If you do， ENJOY！！！！ 。。。more

I would give this book 4。5 or 4。75 stars。 Den of Monsters was such an interesting ride。 I loved how easily Ms。 Song navigated us from the reality to the Sinful World。 There was so much detail， but I would like to know more about each of her Devils of Sin。 We do not know too much about about how Esme's mates became the Devils of Sin。 There needs to be a bit more development with their characters。 I want to know more about Antionette and who she is as well。 Initially she seemed like a one note evi I would give this book 4。5 or 4。75 stars。 Den of Monsters was such an interesting ride。 I loved how easily Ms。 Song navigated us from the reality to the Sinful World。 There was so much detail， but I would like to know more about each of her Devils of Sin。 We do not know too much about about how Esme's mates became the Devils of Sin。 There needs to be a bit more development with their characters。 I want to know more about Antionette and who she is as well。 Initially she seemed like a one note evil spoiled sister， but at the end we learned that she has had Esme's back all along and if she's not Lucas' sister， who is she and how did she become a Bellerose？ The ending was a bit convoluted and rushed。 I'm still confused by the trap。 Though I want to read Eloise's book， I want another book focusing on the Den of Monsters after the ball because there are a lot of questions。 。。。more

fabulous interaction between worlds 。。。。 loved the suspense and character levels 。。。 but what was that ending？！？ 。。。 this is supposed to be a stand-alone but totally needs a part two！ 。。。 or as Esme would say， "And to my haters。。。go to #ell。" fabulous interaction between worlds 。。。。 loved the suspense and character levels 。。。 but what was that ending？！？ 。。。 this is supposed to be a stand-alone but totally needs a part two！ 。。。 or as Esme would say， "And to my haters。。。go to #ell。" 。。。more

Story was interesting however I felt there needed to be more cleared up at the end。 Maybe when the next book comes out there will be some clarity。

Wasn't my normal go-to type of book but I did end up liking it。 Each time I thought I had figured out what the plot was leading up to in the story Miss。 Avery took it in a totally different direction than I thought it was going。 If you like badass female characters， hot monsters and a lot of steamy scenes then you want to give this one a try。 Wasn't my normal go-to type of book but I did end up liking it。 Each time I thought I had figured out what the plot was leading up to in the story Miss。 Avery took it in a totally different direction than I thought it was going。 If you like badass female characters， hot monsters and a lot of steamy scenes then you want to give this one a try。 。。。more

A great story！I usually dread reading books this long but Avery Song made me wish there were a couple of chapters more to read！ The story never felt like it was dragging on and on but instead moved fluidly and made me forget how long it is！ The story is a unique one and I loved the plot。 The FMC， Esme， is a strong person without being sassy or overly stubborn and dramatic。 She doesn't do stupid things just to prove how strong she is。 She does however find herself in a lot of difficult situations A great story！I usually dread reading books this long but Avery Song made me wish there were a couple of chapters more to read！ The story never felt like it was dragging on and on but instead moved fluidly and made me forget how long it is！ The story is a unique one and I loved the plot。 The FMC， Esme， is a strong person without being sassy or overly stubborn and dramatic。 She doesn't do stupid things just to prove how strong she is。 She does however find herself in a lot of difficult situations where we're able to see her true self。 Her Den of Monsters are swoon worthy。 Physically and mentally strong that have gone through much but each of them loves their Esme。 They all have unique attributes （wink wink） that makes me wish for my own Den！ Her best friend is a person we all need in our lives and she's awesome！ This isn't a spice book。 It revolves more around the plot but we still get some fun times！ It's just not the main plot which I weirdly appreciate。 I say weirdly because I'm all about the spice but I feel like it would take away from the amazing story！I do feel that the ending was rushed though。 *Minor Spoiler Alert*I think the book could have benefited from another another chapter that would tie everything together and give us more time with her Den of Monsters but hopefully questions will be answered in the next， much awaited book！ 。。。more

So。 Um。 Was there an entire chapter missing？ There was no "Dance with the set of devils part one" chapter。 It seems as though we are dropped right into the middle of the masquerade， and the characters begin to talk about the beginning bidding process that the reader doesn't experience。 So many grammatical errors started to drive me crazy。 I want to be obsessed， but I just can't。 So。 Um。 Was there an entire chapter missing？ There was no "Dance with the set of devils part one" chapter。 It seems as though we are dropped right into the middle of the masquerade， and the characters begin to talk about the beginning bidding process that the reader doesn't experience。 So many grammatical errors started to drive me crazy。 I want to be obsessed， but I just can't。 。。。more

This book has an amazing story， full of mystery， steam and intriguing characters。 As a first time RH reader myself， I enjoyed it a lot cause the transition is smooth and natural。 It’s a story that makes you laugh， a bit hot *giggles* and teary eyes at some points， it also has a few twists that I didn’t see coming which left me wowing and gasping at the audacity of certain characters 。 I’d love to see more about Esme and her 5 monsters。 I also am very intrigued to know what will happen next with This book has an amazing story， full of mystery， steam and intriguing characters。 As a first time RH reader myself， I enjoyed it a lot cause the transition is smooth and natural。 It’s a story that makes you laugh， a bit hot *giggles* and teary eyes at some points， it also has a few twists that I didn’t see coming which left me wowing and gasping at the audacity of certain characters 。 I’d love to see more about Esme and her 5 monsters。 I also am very intrigued to know what will happen next with Eloise and *wink* …this is for you all to read and find out …enjoy！！！ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Its a good story， impressive world but I feel like I’m missing some facts。 There was a lot of things that could have been unpacked and I feel that I’m missing out。 The ending also felt like a shortcut by the author and I wish we would have gotten to know the characters more and learn more about our maiden’s power and potential。 I do like the writing style and the characters I just wanted more。 There was so much time used in the beginning and middle they the end felt stumped。 I feel that there sh Its a good story， impressive world but I feel like I’m missing some facts。 There was a lot of things that could have been unpacked and I feel that I’m missing out。 The ending also felt like a shortcut by the author and I wish we would have gotten to know the characters more and learn more about our maiden’s power and potential。 I do like the writing style and the characters I just wanted more。 There was so much time used in the beginning and middle they the end felt stumped。 I feel that there should be a second book but as it’s declared a standalone it won’t happen 🤷🏻♀️ （and writing a standalone only to give more details in another standalone is just cheating） 。。。more

Lovely bookI dove in this book completely blind， didn’t read introduction what’s this book about， just loved the cover。 First half book really didn’t left me disappointed， there was so many plot twists who didn’t let me put the book down， it was exciting to read as I didn’t knew where journey will take me。 My opinion started to change in chapter where Esmeralda and Eloise was having dinner and started discus their lives as written book， whileI didn’t mind the discussions about Esmes life as it w Lovely bookI dove in this book completely blind， didn’t read introduction what’s this book about， just loved the cover。 First half book really didn’t left me disappointed， there was so many plot twists who didn’t let me put the book down， it was exciting to read as I didn’t knew where journey will take me。 My opinion started to change in chapter where Esmeralda and Eloise was having dinner and started discus their lives as written book， whileI didn’t mind the discussions about Esmes life as it was about this book， I wish the part about Eloise life “book” would be removed as it’s book two on these series and that short sneak peak in it ruined my excitement for book two。 That make me to finally put book down unfortunately as I was upset， I planned to dive in book two same way as this one， without any clue what’s will gonna happen there。Now the rest of the book went pretty well， again there was a lot of exciting plot twists that kept me intrigued up until the end。The end of this book was complete and utter disappointment。When the true was revealed that Esmeralda， Antoinete and Eloise knew about the monsters real world since they was child， that they worked this whole time to become sinful Maidens and this whole charades that they didn’t knew about it was just plan to catch Luca， which wasn’t completely clarified why？ Just didn’t make sense。If they knew everything then whole book doesn’t make sense， whole Esmeralda’s journey doesn’t make sense， her finding out about monsters in her dreams being real， learning about Masquerade ， learning about what sinful maiden is， just doesn’t make sense anymore as turns out she already knew everything。 Yes yes there was those memory block which turns out Luca put but at the end there was no chapter where her full memory come back， only some bits and pieces of it ， so that means she remembered most of this story the whole time。 It’s was a nice book to read， I just wish the end would be better and more exciting ， I feel it was rushed to way to much。 I really think that author could’ve done better whit this book。 。。。more

Avery Song always surprises me， in a unexpectedly great way。 She is an author that knows how to craft a story that lives in the readers mind。 You become invested in the characters and their feelings and experiences。 Any time you pick up a book by Avery Song you need to brace yourself for a wild ride。 This is a book filled with suspense， wonder and danger。 The story is filled with complex and engaging cast of characters。 I loved the way Esme and her monsters interacted。 I was on the edge of my se Avery Song always surprises me， in a unexpectedly great way。 She is an author that knows how to craft a story that lives in the readers mind。 You become invested in the characters and their feelings and experiences。 Any time you pick up a book by Avery Song you need to brace yourself for a wild ride。 This is a book filled with suspense， wonder and danger。 The story is filled with complex and engaging cast of characters。 I loved the way Esme and her monsters interacted。 I was on the edge of my seat （so to speak）。 I loved the way that Esme and her crew of hotties personalities and stories were slowly developing throughout the book。 It was great to see the way the stories of the various characters flowed and intertwined with each other。 I especially liked the way the characters interacted as each new twist and turns came along。 The stories got more and more exciting as the story progressed。 I couldn’t wait to see what happened next。 I will say that I wished that the ending was a bit better and explained more。 I will say that I wished that the ending was a bit better and explained more。 I’d like things to ‘feel’ more resolved， there just seemed to be too many loose ends。 I’m giving this book five star rating because of the romance， magic， adventure， and magic that flows through out the story。 Overall it was a great read and I’d definitely recommend this book。 。。。more

5 stars all the way！The first chapter had me second guessing and I wasn’t sure I’d like the writing or if this would just be a poor read but man was I wrong！！！ There is so much world building and mystery within this story I love it。 There is spice but isn’t straight erotica with no plot。 I couldn’t put this down until I completed and now I can’t wait to read the next book about the best friend and her psychos！！ Definitely den of vipers vibe but paranormal and so much more to the world building！

Who wants an angel， when all a girl wants and needs is a bad boy， or 5 devils to be precise。Hot as sin， this bad boy teases with twists and turns till you can't tell the difference between up and down。 Definitely not another cinderella story， though I want to go to the ball。 Plus everyone needs a crazy best friend in their life who will ride or die with them， along with her big brother and maid to help along the way。Another amazing book by Avery song， I cant wait for Eloise's tales。 Who wants an angel， when all a girl wants and needs is a bad boy， or 5 devils to be precise。Hot as sin， this bad boy teases with twists and turns till you can't tell the difference between up and down。 Definitely not another cinderella story， though I want to go to the ball。 Plus everyone needs a crazy best friend in their life who will ride or die with them， along with her big brother and maid to help along the way。Another amazing book by Avery song， I cant wait for Eloise's tales。 。。。more

A Dark Fantasy Masterpiece I love when authors try something different with their writing-as long as it's just as good。 This book was written beautifully。 I've never read a monster romance novel so perfectly written with just the right amount of plot twists， eroticism， and character depth and development。 I was obsessed with this story until the very last chapter。 Although fair warning the ending of this book will throw you for a loop。 Definitely one of the best Dark Fantasy and Monster Romance A Dark Fantasy Masterpiece I love when authors try something different with their writing-as long as it's just as good。 This book was written beautifully。 I've never read a monster romance novel so perfectly written with just the right amount of plot twists， eroticism， and character depth and development。 I was obsessed with this story until the very last chapter。 Although fair warning the ending of this book will throw you for a loop。 Definitely one of the best Dark Fantasy and Monster Romance books I've ever read。 。。。more

So as we can expect with all of Ms。 Song's books， the world building is absolutely amazing。 She makes sure to give us a time period， the place and what's taking place so you're not left with any questions。 Den of Monsters is a story of deception， twists and turns， spice， and redemption。 Esme is a very strong， confident and take no prisoners kind of woman。 Once she believed she could accomplish anything; but recently she has begun to remember things that she was previously made to forget。 Now wit So as we can expect with all of Ms。 Song's books， the world building is absolutely amazing。 She makes sure to give us a time period， the place and what's taking place so you're not left with any questions。 Den of Monsters is a story of deception， twists and turns， spice， and redemption。 Esme is a very strong， confident and take no prisoners kind of woman。 Once she believed she could accomplish anything; but recently she has begun to remember things that she was previously made to forget。 Now with circumstances changing beyond her control， she has started to doubt her perceptions of theworld she has previously glided through relatively unscathed。 Esme also has an amazing BFF in Eloise （I’m so excited to read a story about her）。 This story hooked me from the very first page and I hated to put it down。 The action was off the charts， and the masquerade was so creative。 The twist at the end was so satisfying， and I'm very interested in what comes next。 。。。more

Loved it！Den of Monsters: Devil's Serenade by Avery Song is book one in the Masquerade of Sin books。 This follows the story of Esmeralda and her five monsters: Talon， Joaquin， Dagger， Creed and Croix。 This book is a monster romance， so if that's not your thing turn away now。 Honestly this book has soooo much jammed into it and I'm not made about it。 There's hate， love， revenge， family， spice and so much more。 Loved it！Den of Monsters: Devil's Serenade by Avery Song is book one in the Masquerade of Sin books。 This follows the story of Esmeralda and her five monsters: Talon， Joaquin， Dagger， Creed and Croix。 This book is a monster romance， so if that's not your thing turn away now。 Honestly this book has soooo much jammed into it and I'm not made about it。 There's hate， love， revenge， family， spice and so much more。 。。。more
