Liz and Ashley are locked and loaded and ready to talk about everything This Monster of Mine by Shalini Abeysekara. Today’s episode is the spoiler-y follow up to our spoiler FREE author interview that dropped last month for Shalini’s big romantasy debut!

Watch our Author Interview with Shalini Abeysekara here | https://youtu.be/dMoOSLW1vTE?si=5iTgTD7AOw5robs5

We discuss the reasons this book is so unique, and unlike any other romantasy we’ve read… because it’s a full-blown murder mystery with an Ancient Rome inspired setting! We also give you a mini summary of the book, our official star and spice ratings, drop some favorite quotes, and discuss our favorite and least favorite plot points and characters.

And, don’t worry! We’ve got a Disney / classic children’s movie fave and fail and a smash or pass ranking of Prince Charmings and other more furry creatures.
