Can a sorcerer apprentice learn to control his magic before the elder demon destroys his home?
Fledgling sorcerer Isaac and his friends accidentally create a spell that sets a cryptid town on top of theirs. With no one hurt in the aftermath, they put the night of the Red Storm behind them and opened their arms to the new residents, shifters monsters and everything in between. Caspian, a sweetly sexy fox shifter has turned his considerable affections and attention toward Isaac, making him smitten in return.
Unfortunately, not everyone is welcoming and not everyone is kind. A corrupt mayor and his cronies want to use Isaac for his unique and powerful magic.
With the help of Caspian, his foxy boyfriend, and his mentor, Darius, Isaac discovers that magic can be fun and helpful in the battle to save his town from the grasping hands of an elder demon hellbent on taking over.
Monsters In Love is a small-town series where monsters, humans and others find love and community. This book includes a sweet cinnamon roll fox and his shy sorcerer, found family and small town charm. There is a cliffhanger for the overall story arc but our heroes, Caspian and Isaac are together.

Sweet Romance with no explicit scenes.
What I liked:
I’m not a major fan of shifter novels, but I was pleasantly surprised with the spin the author put on this shifter story. It made it so much more enjoyable to me.
One of my favorite stories to read are fantasies/urban fantasy and once again, the author surprised me with a different twist on demons, mushroom kings, sorcerers, etc.
What I didn’t like:
I felt like this book was a fantastic story that didn’t spend enough time in the oven. The characters felt like they needed more development, the story line often felt rushed, and there were times when I felt a bit confused about what was going on with the characters.
Honestly, had I not been reviewing the book I probably would’ve stopped reading fairly early on, which to be honest would’ve been a loss to me since the story didn’t really get good until halfway through.
The author clearly has a talent for storytelling, I just wish they’d spent a bit more time on editing.
