If you’ve gotta be stuck in a curse with monsters—they might as well be sexy monsters.
When I answered an ad for a caretaker at Saint Mark’s Sanctuary I thought I’d be dusting chandeliers and polishing floors. I didn’t expect to be tricked into a curse, going in debt to a monster, and being forced to take a self-paced “Let’s Learn Magic” course so I can fix a two-thousand-year-old problem.
And that monster?
Not your ordinary, everyday beast.
He has hooves, and horns, and fur on his legs.
But ya know where he doesn’t have fur?
Yeah. There.
Which is fine.
Except he doesn’t wear pants.
Nothing at Saint Mark’s is exactly what it seems.
The entire inside is magic, the hallways upstairs are nothing but parties from the past, and the super-hot guy who lives in the dungeon?
Yeah.
Not human.
My name is Pie and all I want is to be a normal girl with an average life.
I refuse to get stuck in this curse.
I refuse to learn magic to break it.
And there is no way in hell I will fall in love with a monster.
Famous.
Last.
Words.
Liezel’s Thoughts:
I’ve been a long-time fan of J.A. Huss, and so, of course, I didn’t hesitate to start this book, especially since the second book was just released. HOWEVER, what I didn’t realize was what I was getting myself into. Damaged Gods isn’t your typical paranormal romance that I expected, not even close.
For me, it felt like a Beauty and the Beast and Alice In Wonderland mishmash combined with paranormal and mythology references. It was seriously a breath of fresh air.
The characters were peculiarly interesting. At first, I didn’t know what to think about Pie and Pell. They aren’t your run of the mill heroine and hero. Pell specifically disconcerted me but after being in Pie’s presence, he grew on me to the point where I wanted him to get his much deserved HEA.
As the story unfolds, a few unanticipated elements and even remarkable characters are thrown into the mix. This is when things get even more interesting. Curiouser and Curiouser! I love how the author continued to surprise me throughout the book. I personally can not wait to see what it all leads to in the second book Savage Saints.
