Description

Honestly this whole review is going to be gushing about how much I loved City of Gods and Monsters. This is your PSA to READ THIS BOOK! This book is a must read for fans of Crescent City. It has similar vibes, but is its own unique story with phenomenal characters and an amazing plot. I would have excused the veiled plagiarism had the main character been a little less...perfect. She reminds me of all the heroines from urban fantasy books I used to read when I was a teen, and I used to hate them even then so it's not a compliment. If you loved Crescent City then this book is a must-read! It includes similar elements but this book maintains its authenticity and stands on its own.

This book includes dual POV so it follows Loren and Darien's POVs and it really helped me dive into them and I appreciate that so much because it offered me a better insight into them as characters who have different layers to them. I kept crafting theories about Loren and oh boy was I wrong the ending of the book blew my mind. I suspected my theories were half-right, but omg. The main character was a bit unpredictable, but I didn't know that the story would go in another direction, and OMG.

review | City of Gods and Monsters by Kayla Edwards

It supposed to be cater toward 18 or+ but it really read like a YA which is not a bad thing but It didn't really work with what the author was trying to achieve (describe as a New adult). tropes: urban fantasy + romantasy + slow burn + grumpy and sunshine + protective possessive mmc + sweet pie fmc Darien is grumpy, tortured and an imortal devil. He is one of the most fearsome men in the city. He is the ultimate protector and possessive H. Yes,” she said, her stomach muscles fluttering. A whimper escaped her lips, and her words were wild gasps as she said, “I can, and I want to.”

This book is amazing and became one of my favorites reads from 2022 (and I already put it in my favorite books shelf cause it has all the things I love and cherish in books 💕) James Whale— Directing "Horror" With Style".

Dallas who is the heroine’s adopted sister/best friend (has a male/female name, similar to Bryce from crescent city, Dallas is also described almost exactly like Bryce to the wine colored hair) except she’s muscular. Loren's characterization: I think Kayla did a fantastic job of writing such a relatable and vulnerable character that was not necessarily a badass but she didn't need to be one to stand out. She is led by her emotions and some may consider that a weakness but in her case, I see it as a strength because she does not live in a kind world. She does have fears but is such a courageous person.

For one, it's true what they say. This books is SJM's Crescent City's annoying little brother who sometimes tries to hard to be like their oldest sibling to the point of cringe-ness. He is a pure-blooded hellseher and leader of the Seven Devils, the most feared Darkslayer circle in the city. Where Loren is at the bottom of the "food chain", he definitely is at the apex. I do not want to deter readers when I say this is a slow slowburn romance because from the moment they meet, every Loren and Darien scene is infused with so many feelings and so much sexual tension. The spice is truly rewarding and worth the wait although some moments are scattered throughout the book. WGA Awards: Previous Nominees and Winners". Writers Guild of America Award. 1999.

The dynamic between the Seven Devils and Loren and her friends was entertaining and a great touch of “found family”. And I mean, Max rendered speechless by Dallas was priceless. There was a perfect balance between the romance and the primary plot, and I loved that neither got neglected. Right when I thought I knew what is coming, it took me by surprise by going somewhere entirely different. I must say that this doesn’t apply to the ending, which I found a bit predictable.

City of Gods and Monsters Quotes by Kayla Edwards - Goodreads City of Gods and Monsters Quotes by Kayla Edwards - Goodreads

The world building is lazy at best. There is no coherent theology, geography, or mythos. Vampires and werewolves and demons and witches and the like make up the dominant demographic, with humans like the poor protagonist being second class citizens and erstwhile food sources. The city they call home is apparently the only inhabited place in the world. What I liked about Loren was, that she wasn´t really the badass woman you normally read in Fantasy books, she was more or less your girl next door with no real special magical powers. To be honest it makes her a bit prone to be the damsel in distress and to always get saved by Darien, but it wasn´t to a point where it would´ve annoyed me. I loved her and Dariens relationship, the slowburn is delicious and the sexual tension is amazing, I loved the angst between them. Darien is your typical "touch her and I´ll kill you" guy we all know and love; so you just know he will probably be your next book boyfriend. I mean you won´t find a guy who will kidnap you and take you out to dinner in the process just anywhere. BAFTA Awards: Film in 1999". BAFTA. 1999. Archived from the original on 7 March 2016 .

I'm not sure I'm going to give this another try because I've become pretty jealous of my precious reading time and I'd hate to miss out on a book I might end up loving in favor of one I want to like on purpose. Loren Calla is a mortal human girl living in a city full of immortal beings. Demons, vampires, werewolfs and reapers. The city of Angelthene is full of them.

The BFCA Critics' Choice Awards:: 1998". Broadcast Film Critics Association. Archived from the original on December 12, 2008. Cerberus was the famous three-headed dog, pet of Hades, the god of the Underworld. He was standing guard at the Gates of the Underworld, making sure that no dead soul would escape and no living man would enter the realm of the dead. Besides his three terrifying heads, he also had a serpent for a tail. Only two heroes managed to defeat this monster; Heracles (Hercules) and Orpheus. Heracles managed to defeat him with his strength while Orpheus made him fall asleep with his music. Cerberus was a child of Typhon and Echidna. He had a brother from the same parents, a two-headed dog called Orthrus.
