Her Monsters #1
Rage
My husband killed me.
Then he screwed his way through the city, the only problem? I didn’t stay dead. It seems killing me woke something deep inside, something so dark and buried so deep I never knew it was there.
I don’t know what I am, I don’t really care. All I can think about is revenge, even as the monsters in the dark start to surround me. Their horns and black eyes, mouths filled with fangs claiming I am theirs.
My monsters will have to wait, he will regret the day he crossed me.
Are you scared of the dark? You should be.
*18+ Reverse Harem Romance. Warning this book contains scenes and references of abuse/assault that some readers may find triggering. Along with graphic sex scenes and violence. This is a dark book*

May 31, 2019Nope 11% and I’m calling it a day.
Ridiculous is the only word I have for this.
Insta-lust on steroids would be a good second choice of words.
This “calling” that happens that makes all these monsters hard and making them “whole” might be better if we were given a reason why or how it’s happening? Not to mention the constant inner monologue without any actual explanations.
Instead of the desired reaction all this book made me do was this;
This type of “dark” read just isn’t for me. I need more than a “calling” to go along with this insta-bond and justification for monster smut .

Narration Type: Dual Narration
The heroine: Dawn - she hates her husband he is controlling, mean and cruel. He controls what she eats because he doesn’t want her to be chunky, he belittles her, buys her expensive clothes as a way to control what she wears, and always buys them a size too small so she would lose weight, he locked her up in their apartment, went into rages and when she left with nothing but the clothes on her back, he tracked her down and attacked her. After time, she lost her spirit until he finally killed her. Her last thought is about how much she wants to make him pay.
The Heroes:
Nos - he is an ancient has spent the last thousand years gaining power. He spends time in the forest in his true form (including antlers), until he feels something calling him. Something he hasn’t felt before. He is a divine creature of lust, fertility, animals and the underworld.
Dume - he is the monster of the labyrinth that the humans created stories about. He has been chained down there for a long time, only wanting revenge on those who betrayed him and left him chained down there, unable to shift. One day he feels a tug in his soul, which allows him to break free.
Aska - his eternal slumber is broken, and he feels a pulling in his heart that has disturbed him. He is a dragon shifter who has been hidden away long enough for the world to have forgotten him. He leaves his cage to follow the call that connects with his magic.
Griffin - humans call him a monster, but what he has seen of them shows him who the true monsters really are. He is called a monster and a freak; he relies on his skills and lack of a moral compass to get things done. The call wraps around him and he immediately fights the need to find her, wanting to complete his job so the council doesn’t kill him. He is half angel, half man; his soul begs to save those in need but his other half, his darker half wants to hunt and kill.
The Story: Dawn is buried in the forest and though she is dead, she digs her way to the open air until Nos helps her out. He is immediately attracted to her and sees her beauty from the start, even naked and covered in dirt and her own blood. Dawn thinks Nos is beautiful, though most think he is a terrifying creature of nightmares. When she asks how she is alive after being gutted and buried, he tells her she is not human, but doesn’t know what she is.
After being abused, controlled and then murdered, I think it would be awesome to wake up and discover you are more than human and can’t die. I also would want nothing more than to go back and do the same to my abuser as he had done to me, but worse. So, I have to say, I really like the premise of this one. The fact that Dawn gets four supernatural males to cherish her, help her and treat her like a queen makes her afterlife even better. Her new powers let her see into people’s thoughts, super strength, she can suck the soul out of people and turn into them, and more. I really like Dawn’s character; she is snarky and fun despite what she went through and the trouble she gets in. She is also confident and fierce.
The story gets pretty steamy early on. Dawn has a few intimate encounters with Nos before she even meets any of the others. I was also a bit disappointed about the storyline having to do with sex slavery and experimentation on paranormal women. That whole experimentation on the supernatural has been overdone and I have read too many books lately with that as a main plot point. Though this one doesn’t focus so much on that, but on the hunt for the bad guys, so I did like that quite a bit.
Dawn turns out to be one of the most powerful supernatural creatures there is. So powerful that the council have killed the few that have existed before. Though I keep thinking that she thinks she is more powerful than she actually is. She keeps saying things like, if they get in my way, I will just kill them all, while, if her kind was that immortal, how could the council have taken out the ones before her. So I have a feeling she is in more trouble than she expects. This book ends on a cliffhanger, so I am stepping right into the next book.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Celestine Wolfe and Jason Clarke. Jason is one of my all-time favorite male narrators. He has a deep, gravelly voice and does a great job in anything he does. He uses different voices for each of the male characters. Celestine Wolf has a soft, feminine voice which is very pleasant, though I wish her voice sounded a bit more youthful.

I finished it but this was bad. Wish I would’ve DNF'd but I had such a hard time bc the premise sounded unique enough I expected it to be good. In the end the death was anticlimactic. 1 star

Probably just not my cup of tea. Couldn't get past the guy being imprisoned for 400 years and then making a phone call immediately after escaping.

Here's a lucky book right here. I am in a RH mood and the ones I've been reading suck real bad, this one sucks too but compared to what I've been reading this is A+. Therefore this gets 3 stars.
It is a book that goes nowhere after the beginning. I was so intrigued then I kept waiting and waiting and waiting because nothing was happening. I might check out the rest of the author's books,

FANTASTIC!!
So I didn’t read any other reviews before I started this book and I am really glad. I don’t know what those single star reviewers were reading, certainly not this book! It was great! It is dark, it is twisty, and it is steamy. Pretty sure that was in the blurb provided by the author. Along with the standard trigger warnings. I was really bothered by the reviewers who didn’t get more than 25% in before deciding to trash it with a terrible review. They spent more time misspelling their inaccurate description of a story they didn’t bother reading, than actually giving it a shot.
I love these characters and their darkness. I love a good monster, or at least one who is chaotic neutral. Dawn has a crappy life with her horrible husband. But in her afterlife she gets to focus on her revenge and embrace her rage. Her knew life feeds on sex & souls. Not too surprising since her former life had her on the wrong end of the sucking. New Dawn is amazing. Not 100% sure on what she is now, but it honestly doesn’t matter. She is all about her plans for revenge and labeling the monster she has become is incidental. Her only real concern is not dying again before her vengeance.
Nos is steady and wise, not one of the typical males in a harem. Griffin is a little crazy and a lot conflicted. Dume & Aska are just trying to get there. It will be interesting to see what other obstacles get thrown in the way and what other monsters could have been called. This is my first novel by the author but it won’t be my last!

Now that was a great story. Dawn coming back to avenge her death and meeting her mates was such a good story line. Oh that ending. I was waiting entire book for her to meet mate number 3 and finally it happens and then ends book. I really have to read book 2. I loved the take on all the paranormals. Seriously hope book 2 comes out soon. Great story. Absolutely loved it.

Well let's shake things up, flip them all around, beat them down and then freaking wreck them shall we.
I've taken some time to think about this book and I kind of more than liked it.. but there is just so much going on here in book one that I'm afraid to over commit into 4 star territory. That being said this FMC, is like the Harley Quinn of the paranormal world. This book is very dark and full of every trigger you can imagine but despite all that I couldn't put it down. The whole time I was reading it I was thinking to myself that this is it. This is the bad guys anthem. I have expected this from other authors in the past and they have come up short but K.A. Knight delivers MONSTERS. Its not pretty but for some reason its damn satisfying.
Full disclosure there really isn't much "supernatural" world building here. The reader is kind of thrown in. This would normally totally put me off, but, for some reason, It didn't even bother me here, never even slowed me down. Really I have no idea how we have ended up in this supernatural world, there aren't any explanations here in book one. Maybe answers will come further along in the series? I feel like if more info had been provided it might have made for a more cohesive and better flow to the read in general but like I said it never slowed me down.
FMC, Dawn, after a horrific and traumatic experience with her husband which ended in her death. Awakens and crawls out of her shallow grave with a monster awake inside her. As Dawn awakes to her new self, filled with vengeance and a thirst for the death of those that have wronged her, her magic calls to those strong enough to be her mates. They hear her call.. It seems there is a plague of supernatural across the city and women of all races are being taken and forced to reveal their powers or discarded by a group called "the others." It seems that Dawn's ex was working with them and now they are on her radar since they stand in the vicinity of her revenge. With the help of some of her monsters she rights some of the wrongs done to her and others but its not enough. She still has mates en route, some more monster than even she is expecting, and some ready to burn the world down to get to her.
Really we have so much going on here.. its almost overload but this series has reached something deep inside me and hooked it. I can't wait to see what happens as we are left on a cliffhanger. What is going on in this world? Maybe we will find out in the next book.

1.5. Bad read.
[image error]
The blurb sounded like so much fun! And I've read the author before, so it's the perfect combination, right?
Well, nope. Not always.
The characters felt fake. The story made no sense. The plot, although it should have been awesome, was pretty bad.
I tried to like it, I really did, but it was just wayyy, way too over the top and nonsensical. So, no thank you.
The only reason I finished it was because I skimmed a lot
[image error]
Why not less than 1.5? Well, the plot wasn't awful and I didn't want to throw the book out the window, so that's a plus.

It's no secret that Knight can get gritty with her offerings. Rage on the other hand is a masterpiece of another level.
Dark and gritty, this isn’t for the faint of heart. Those warning are there for a reason. This book isn’t going to be for anyone. Rage isn’t a pretty emotion. It can cause you to do things you regret , a second later.
However there also the festering kind, the one that builds in your heart, eating away at the light. Causing you heart turn to black.....
The first in a new series, Knight’s latest offering blows her previous books out of the water. If you loved her debut, this book will be your cup of tea if you can handle the elements in this book
As this book is something else.

Revenge story with a twist
Ooh, I really enjoyed this. This was exactly what I was hoping for. Love the supernatural creatures. It’s not often a horned God, a minotaur, a griffin and a dragon are mates to a still yet unidentified creature. Her revenge arc is well worth some of the weaker moments, but hot damn, Nos gets busy with his Little Monster at the drop of a hat.
Loved the bonds between the mates, and although this ends on a cliffhanger I’m going to ignore that as the unfolding larger plot is too interesting.
Trigger warnings for violence and rape, plus if you have issues with graphic sex scenes, then maybe skip this book.
4 stars ⭐️

Dawn's husband abused her, finally killed her. But he didn't get the job done and when she comes back she wants revenge. She doesn't know how she's back, she doesn't know what she is and it doesn't matter. Now she's powerful. Now she's deadly. Now she's a monster. And she's not alone.
This is not your typical RH! A forest god, a fallen, a soul-eating dragon, and a minotaur, not to mention the little monster Dawn. Vampires, fae, shifters, and witches. It's a paranormal feast! The monsters are lethal but lovable. The humans are not. It's emotional, surprising, entertaining, and so original. It's hot. A little too bloody for my tastes; I don't like my sex quite so violent, but it seems to be working for Dawn and her first two mates.
This first book is setting the stage; introducing the characters and laying out the major storyline. There is great attention to detail. The connections are being made and right as it all starts coming together, it all falls apart. It ends with quite a predicament! You will be screaming for more.

The first kindle cleanup fail already. DNF. It sounded interesting and the monsters were a nice twist. Multiple POVs is always good.
I got bored. The beginning was good, not subtle at all on the domestic abuse and the first meeting chapters were interesting with the mating call. After that it was hard to stay awake. There’s plenty going on, By 37% there is already plenty of sex and dead bodies piling up.
The MC pretty much went from victim to serial killer psycho living her own monster filled fairytale. I was trying to make it to where they all meet and hope it got better but I’m throwing in the towel.

Now the premise of this was interesting as heck, abused girl raped and murdered by her husband who comes back from the dead all powerful and shit? Heck yes!!!!! Ummmmmm execution however left a lot to be desired. Tell me whyyyyyy the fmc comes back from the dead, meets a monstrous creature and starts lusting? Like how? The bitch was literally JUST raped and murdered!!!!!!!!!! Like wtf 😒🤦🏾♀️ then shortly after she's getting semi busy with the creature? Is it me? Am I the drama? Maybe it is but hey I figure if I'm cringing and rolling my eyes at 12% of the story might as well quit while I'm ahead 🤷🏾♀️✌🏾

This book is the first in the Her Monsters series and it blew me away! It is a much darker and raw read that deals with abuse and is not your usual RH. Dawn is back from the dead and is out for revenge and there really isn’t anything she isn’t willing to do to get it.
Dawn is not your average woman and her men are anything but normal. With a Forest god and a Fallen at her side as well as a minotaur and a one of a kind soul eating dragon claiming her as their mate, there is nothing they won’t do to see Dawn get her revenge. Dawn and her men stumble across something much larger than just dealing with her ex-husband and then the real craziness and chaos begins. K.A. Knight has a way of capturing her readers from the very start. This story is packed with action, sexiness and suspense that leaves you begging for more.

Smutty, badly written, frustrating, ridiculous. I'm annoyed I fell for the reviews - DON'T DO IT. I couldn't get past 35% of book 2.
* "I'll kill everything if they hurt her" ... he gets there and she's been taken ... "GRRR who's got Jeremy Kyle so I can calm down?!"
* Absent for hundreds of years - but can straight away use a phone?
* "I'm an ancient, terrifying dragon that destroys and rules all ... he has a stick, damn I need to be careful here, he might kill me."
* Random and out of place "lust" comments just thrown in for no real reason - "we went to the shops, I bought a chicken sandwich, must remember to buy more deodorant, my c**k is hard".
* "what's your plan?" "To destroy his love life, his finances and finally kill him." I was impressed by her well-thought-out plan. (Ermm what plan?!! She just admitted she hasn't gone one and that's not a thought-out anything!)
* So much inner monologue it's head-spinning, yet there's no real explanation from any of it.
* Everything is p***y, c**k and covered in c** to the point it's ridiculous. All. The. Time.
* Every "big bad" creature is a fated mate, no story here they just "are", and they just keep getting bigger and badder. Thought book 1 was busy, then book 2 just keeps on going! We've got a God, a Minotaur, hell even the devil gets involved. It's like every chapter the author is constantly trying to one-up herself.
* Whole book based on an MC who was heavily abused in book 1, controlled, punched, life torn apart, yet every mate is violent to her and so dominating it's abusive ("mine" claims by everyone (hang on, she just said she wouldn't be owned again?) choking, dropping from the sky, throwing her into a sink in book 2, anal sex to the point she's bleeding and it hurts, and apparently this all turns her on?! Consistency?!)
Honestly, this book is bad. Just... don't.

* Random and out of place "lust" comments just thrown in for no real reason - "we went to the shops, I bought a chicken sandwich, must remember to buy more deodorant, my c**k is hard".
* "what's your plan?" "To destroy his love life, his finances and finally kill him." I was impressed by her well-thought-out plan. (Ermm what plan?!! She just admitted she hasn't gone one and that's not a thought-out anything!)
* So much inner monologue it's head-spinning, yet there's no real explanation from any of it.
* Everything is p***y, c**k and covered in c** to the point it's ridiculous. All. The. Time.
* Every "big bad" creature is a fated mate, no story here they just "are", and they just keep getting bigger and badder. Thought book 1 was busy, then book 2 just keeps on going! We've got a God, a Minotaur, hell even the devil gets involved. It's like every chapter the author is constantly trying to one-up herself.
* Whole book based on an MC who was heavily abused in book 1, controlled, punched, life torn apart, yet every mate is violent to her and so dominating it's abusive ("mine" claims by everyone (hang on, she just said she wouldn't be owned again?) choking, dropping from the sky, throwing her into a sink in book 2, anal sex to the point she's bleeding and it hurts, and apparently this all turns her on?! Consistency?!)
Honestly, this book is bad. Just... don't.

MAJOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:
I LOVED THIS BOOK! It gave me everything I didn’t know I wanted and more! I was so pleasantly surprised by all of the combined elements and I am dying to get my hands on the next book!
Dawn- I loved Dawn. She had so much strength and her character was a joy to follow. Her transformation was so compelling to watch and I never got bored with her for even a moment.
Nos- This man god has my whole heart like for real. His compassion and sweetness towards Dawn and the animals made me so happy!
Griffin- Griffin frustrated me at first, but I really grew to love him as the book went on. I am a sucker for the mad ones with a soft side.
Aska & Dume- I love these two so much and they weren’t even in much of the story! I am so freaking excited to see them meet Dawn finally and get to have those moments with her!
SIDE NOTE: This book has a skinwalker with a Minotaur, a dragon, a nature god, and a fallen angel mate! How much better of a combination could that be?!
Obviously, I loved this book and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one!

This was terrible. Right off the bat, we were just thrown into the story with little transition or explanation. She woke up not human and just decided to roll with that? Like what. Also, she's super powerful? That's doubtful. I debated DNFing for such a long time, deciding to just push through. This was a complete eye roll and I won't continue reading this series. It was filled with insta-love/lust. A revenge plot seemed like a decent enough plot, but then random things were just being thrown in. Each of her four mates had their own POV in first person and this choice made it hard for me to follow who was who. They brought their own history and problems into the story, but there was no initial set up for how the story was supposed to go. This caused lots of confusion and the plot was messy.

This is so hard to review so I think I’ll make a series of points with the explanation that this duology would have been better served at being one massive book. It feels very incomplete this way and explains the three stars despite my really like four out of the five characters.
1) This really should have been one book. The leading lady hasn’t even come face to face with one of her mates in the real world yet. (Also explanation as to why one of her warrants four mates but an actual god only warrants one after thousands of years?
2) the lack of “the city” having a name or identity bugs me since we travel all over it in this book.
3) Dawn can do it all with no training and only like theee days worth of power experience. It’s strange considering she’s being flanked by ancient beings. Just very convenient.
4) The mates are all fleshed out enough I like them, way more then Dawn. I also appreciate that they all have their whole back story and I do wish we had gotten more of that since Dawn lacked all of that depth.
5) The larger issues outside of revenge is an interesting one but I really wish that it had been given more time as well.
The second half of this series can make or break it, ima keep it 100% here.

Book: Rage
Read By: Ebook and Audio
Author: K.A. Knight
Narrator: Celestine Wolf and Jason Clarke
Genre: Fantasy and Dark Romance
Main Characters: Aska, Dume, Nos, Griffin and Dawn.
Recommend: Yes
Spice: 🌶️️🌶️️🌶️️🌶️️
Age recommendation: 18-30+ Years
My feelings:
“Griffin scoffs again. “Yep, our mate, the fucking unicorn of the shifter world.”
You know when you read a book and its just deliciously naughty…. This is one of them.
“Yes, in a sense. I am a different kind of monster. I am not merely a shifter or a made creature like vamps, or born of nature like the fae...I am other.” “Fate Chosen,” Griffin spits, making Nos sigh and nod.”
I love the dirty depraved way this is written.
“You shall live another day, tiny trapped magician,” I rage, before throwing it over my shoulder into the back.”
Honestly I don’t think there is anything that KA Knight cannot write. This was perfect and naughty and evil and I loved loved it.
“Once they do, I gasp. My eyes lock onto it from where it stands not meters away. A fucking minotaur.”
Nos was and will always be my home boy. Holy crap I love him!
“It’s time for the dragons to rule again and for me to don my crown. My name is Askaliarian, first of my name, the soul eater, and I will kill them all.”

I'm a monster too
I love this book. I love the theme. What is beauty if it hides the true monster inside? That is what Dawn and herself as she is being beaten and killed by her husband. She feel for his beauty and charm, his false words and easy smile only to become trapped by his goons in a cage where bruises and blood mar her skin. She knows now that there are true monsters out there that hide behind masks. So when she claws she way up through soil of her shallow grave in the forest and finds herself at the feet of a real forest god in all his terrifying glory, she feels no fear. She sees only the beauty that is the monster before her, raw and powerful. She will soon learn that she too is powerful; powerful enough to call out to four sleep monsters across the world to her. These four powerful being are all different, old, but all heed to the call of their Fated mate and do whatever they can to get to her. It's a story of vengeance, hope, new beginnings, intrigue, drama, and steamy scenes. I will definitely be following this series and I this another. I just hope the wait isn't agonizing long because the cliffhanger if killer.

Really good story, I had to read to the end. I won an ARC copy, and I was really excited to read this book, though the blurb made me think it was something different.
I liked the characters, and I was hooked until the end.
The characters are unable to be labeled as good or bad. You can't really tell because one minute they care about people, and in the next, someone dies and they move on with an "oh well, I'm okay."
It's gruesome, and the characters are inconsistently bad ass. Don't get me wrong, I love strong characters, but when Dawn meets a human boss, she seems unnerved? Why would she be feel that way just because she was surprised? Most of their adversaries are human, why should this make a difference.
I really hope this was edited after it was sent to me, or in the least, there was another copy that was edited, because there are SO many mistakes it was distracting.

Rage by K.A. Knight is a dark fantasy reverse harem romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Celestine Wolf and Jason Clarke. This is the first book in Her Monsters series.
I love Katie's books! I was pulled in from the beginning and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed getting Nos, Dume, Aska, Griffin, and Dawn's points of view throughout the book.
The book ended on a cliffhanger, but that wasn't a surprise since it's the first book in the series. I can't wait to dive into the next book Hate so I can get more of Dawn and her men.
Celestine and Jason did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this series if you like dark romances, fantasy romances, paranormal romance, or reverse harem romances.

Met My Expectations and More!
Since I first read the blurb of this book and read teasers for Rage, I was hooked, and I was anxiously sitting on my hands waiting for this book to come up. With such high expectations for this book, I was afraid that it wouldn’t meet my expectations—but I was so very wrong. This book went above and beyond than what I wanted, and I’m in love. I love kickass characters who aren’t afraid to the monsters in the dark and I love the variety in the harem. A must read for anyone who wants unconventional paired with sexy men and a suspenseful plot line!!!

A woman is in an abusive marriage. The guy kills her but for some reason she comes back to life. In the process she call several monstrous mates to her, like literal monsters. They follow her around on a little crime spree that leads to her getting revenge on her husband.
I thought this would be a little better. I didn't buy that she just became some sort of bad ass just because she died. And the gory sex scenes just seemed like they were for shock value. This was a meh story with meh characters and maybe a little too much going on.

Loved this raging monster RH
Loved this book. The surprise of Dawn the four hardened heart monsters receive was great. Her attitude and how she reacts to the first three are great. Dawn is a hilarious, crazy, mad, but heartfelt monster who loves her monsters fiercely. I loved Nos and their interactions. The cliff hanger about made me want to rage myself but I cannot wait to see how Aska and Dume react to Dawn in the next book.
