What to expect
When a secret society offers me an invitation to stay in their isolated forest retreat, I can't possibly refuse. Not if I want to find out what my mother was hiding before she died. But it's not just any forest. The noises in the woods at night aren't animals—they're monsters. They watch me from the trees, slither through the lake, and creep in the shadows outside my window.
By day, the society hides their secrets from me. By night, I disappear into the world of monsters and discover secrets of my own. Secrets about being meant for their world, the Void.
About how they're going to keep me forever, enthralled by their claws and primal hunger. Possessed with desire for fangs and wings. Embraced by tentacles and their insatiable cravings.
But I'm not just here to dig into the past. The society's retreat is not what it seems. There must be a sacrifice . . .
And that sacrifice is me.
Contains mature themes.

"An Invocation of Monsters had some elements that didn't quite work for me personally. The love triangle storyline felt a bit clichéd, and I found the female narrator's portrayal of the male characters to be unconvincing at times. The pacing also dragged in parts, making the overall plot feel slow and uneventful.
On the positive side, I did appreciate the author's attempt at meta-humor, even if that particular style of humor isn't really my preference. And while the spicier scenes didn't fully resonate with me, I know many readers enjoy that level of romantic content.
Ultimately, An Invocation of Monsters seemed to have a lot of the typical genre tropes, which may appeal to fans of the style. But for my personal tastes, it didn't quite hit the mark. Still, I'm sure many readers will find enjoyment in this book, even if it wasn't a perfect fit for me."powzipbam 2025-06-02
