Book Recommendation ➱ Monsters and Mind Games: Spicy MM Fantasy Adventure by Emily Brandish

Monsters & Mind Games Monsters & Mind Games by Emily Brandish
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amazon Description:

The monsters are winning. Tentacled, brain-eating gyle have unleashed a full-scale invasion, and humanity is helpless against their mind-control powers.

When novice elf mage, Ambrose, is commissioned by the King to halt the invasion, he thinks there must be a mistake—he’s wildly underqualified. Fortunately, he’s paired up with Kilgore the Conqueror, a brooding orcish war hero Ambrose has secretly been thirsting over for years.

Unfortunately, their mission is headed by Grist—a sociopathic gyle traitor who’s as cruel as he is clever. The manipulative gyle can read his companions’ every thought, and enjoys torturing Ambrose and Kilgore with their darkest secrets and forbidden attraction to each other. The trio has only seven days to save the world, but they must learn to trust each other first.

Monsters & Mind Games is an exciting MM fantasy adventure with complex characters, plot twists, and a wickedly funny villain that will keep you guessing right up to the happily ever after.

(Note: This standalone novel contains extra-spicy spice, and is intended for mature readers.)

💭Our Thoughts

This is a full-length spicy, slightly twisted, and at times quite humorous MM sci-fi fantasy romance
Ambrose is suddenly drafted as a mage to the king. He is needed (the kid hasn't even graduated mage school ) for a very dangerous assignment that requires his skills (yeah as cannon fodder)
He soon finds that he is going to work with his hero
Kilgore the Orc that saved the princess and Grist -
I have so many words for Grist however I am pretty sure the censors would have a hay day.

This was so entertaining - vivid and immersive world-building with diverse and complex characters, each with some pretty dark secrets and motivations driving them onward. Full of twists and turns, witty humorous dialogue and drama, and lots of action and drama.
