Synopsis (Goodreads):
Lauren was haunted by nightmares of monsters as a child, but learned the hard way that the worst monsters look like everybody else.Thoughts on Minotaur's Curse: Things are getting sticky in the Dead Fall. Not that they weren't before, mind you. Because, you know, when you have a big, inter-dimensional portal that randomly (or maybe NOT so randomly. Who knows?!?!?) opens and dumps unsuspecting individuals into a harsh, dangerous world is already pretty crazy. But Gray's actions in the last book have ramped things up and now things are SUPER crazy.
While visiting her mother and stepfather during the holidays, she’s sent to search for her two younger brothers, who have a tendency to wander onto the land of their nearest neighbor—land that has been abandoned for a reason. When she stumbles across something unexpected, it changes her life forever, drawing her into a world beyond the boundaries of the civilization that has always sheltered her.
There, her courage will be tested, as the monsters she’s always feared when she was a child turn out to be real. When the Minotaur of myth helps her take down a manticore, she wonders if she isn’t still trapped in those childhood dreams. Except there’s nothing childish in her feelings for her bullheaded rescuer.
Asterius has just one chance to prove himself a worthy mate and win the love of the new female that has fallen into the Dead Fall, so she can break the curse upon him.
He knows it will be difficult to win her love, because she’s as beautiful and fierce as any goddess, and he fears she will never be able to see the man beneath the monster.
He will risk everything to protect her from the dangers of the Dead Fall, which seems determined to destroy all life within it.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing when you're a nearly immortal monster who likes to fight. However, it isn't so good for the human he's drawn to. Not that Lauren's a damsel in distress who can't fight her own battles or anything. The lady's pretty good at keeping herself alive, really. But she is human and human's aren't as tough as immortal monsters.
No worries, though. THINGS HAPPEN and Asterius finds his groove between fighting and protecting his new honey. Lauren figures out that not all monsters do monstrous things and it's all good. SEXY TIMES HAPPEN. Frequently.
I'm digging this world and all the diverse characters who populate it. Monsters, mayhem, and a VERY ANGRY Nex make for good reading.
