With his friends’ lives on the line, can Adam find the confidence in magic to save them?

When Trey rescued a mushroom child on the night of the Red Storm, he didn’t think his whole life would be upended. Nothing that happened after that night was part of his plans, other than maybe asking out Adam, the man who helped save MushMush.

Not all is well. A new enemy is in town and he has his eyes set on Adam and Trey. Adam’s keeping big secrets from everyone, much to Trey’s dismay. The stability of their relationship is crumbling and when the new enemy changes Trey, Adam has to step up and reveal his new abilities.

Adam has to learn that magic is a friend that will help and guide him if he lets it. In order to save his boyfriend as well as the town, Adam must embrace his powers in order to stop Hastur and his plans.

This is the second book in the Monsters in Love series and features best friends to lovers, found family, secrets so big, biting moments of pleasure, and a demon hellbent on extracting revenge.

Book two is a solid addition to the trilogy. It provides the explanations and action lacking in the first book.

In the Wraiths Adore Gods we find out about the world the Author created. We learn who the characters are and what they’re about. For instant MushMush (Mushbaby) goes through several changes in the book. The changes may not be what we like, but you see what the Author has in mind later.

You won’t be disappointed. We learn what Hastur (King in Yellow/Elder Demon)plans.

I like the main character Adam and Trey. The book opens with Adam (like Isaac) afraid and unsure of his gifts. Again, like Isaac he doesn’t share dark dreams and fears with his partner. This in turn keeps Trey from sharing his problems. I would like to see more strength between the couples. The love scenes are heated and more active. Always a plus for me.

As the book progresses Adam develops confidence in his skills and abilities. He is able to stave off Hastur and disaster. We are left with enough interest and questions to look forward to the next book.
