LOVE & MONSTERS

Book Club Boys - Book One

Review

What a fantastic start to a new series by Max Walker (this could turn out to be my favourite). I thoroughly enjoyed Love & Monsters. It was fun and jovial. A suspense mystery that was a little camp, a little insta-love, and a whole lot of steam.

Sometimes you meet someone, and everything just clicks. The only problem is a stalker who is definitely not happy that Noah is ‘friends’ with Jake. But Jake is not going anywhere. In fact, he’s determined to help solve the identity of this mystery person, along with the other members of their book club.

These two are pretty adorable together (and pretty hot), and I love how well they fit together and support one another. No matter how crazy things get, these two have each other's backs. And not just when it comes to the stalker.

The other members of the book club are also pretty fun and intriguing, and I look forward to seeing more of all of them. It all just goes to prove that book friends are the best friends.

Synopsis

Noah Barnes

A trip to the grocery store changed my life.

That’s where I bumped into my ‘straight’ co-worker and good friend, Jake Perez.

I decided to invite him to my book club night, not realizing the chain of events that invite would kick off.

Immediately our chemistry became too explosive to contain, making our friendship and work relationship complicated. That same night, a bloody package addressed to me lands on my doorstep.

Falling for Jake was never in the plans—then again neither was being targeted by a dangerous stalker.

This was going to be interesting.

Jake Perez

We were supposed to stay just friends—but how was that going to happen when all I wanted to do was kiss the guy?

Joining his book club sounded like a perfect way to spend more time with him. I wasn’t counting on liking him more and more with every passing second.

Then came the targeted threats, throwing a wrench in our budding ‘friendship’.

One thing was certain, though. Well, maybe two.

I was going to help Noah figure out who was behind making his life a living hell and I was going to do it while staying as just friends.

Friends who liked to hold hands and kiss and…

Yeah. This was going to be harder than I thought.
