Lor

Monstrous, Book 7

By: Lily Mayne

Narrated by: Michael Lesley

My role as Moric—ruler of a small and prosperous fiefdom in a quiet corner of the world—has always been painfully dull and stifling.

Until a beautiful, otherworldly creature with pink skin and a mane of golden hair falls through a strange void that has appeared in my guestroom.

I am instantly captivated by him.

I have never seen anything like him. I have no idea where he came from, and what else is through that unsettling void—another world filled with soft-skinned, defenseless creatures like him? No tails, no horns, no claws, no sharp teeth. Tiny clothing, rounded ears, bright blue eyes. He is fascinating. And I want to keep him.

I have no idea how my citizens and councilors will react to his presence—to the knowledge that a whole other world exists, and there is a portal to it in my guestroom. As much as I try to keep him my secret, the truth starts to slip out.

Those in my fiefdom who cling desperately to power do their best to tear us apart. To take him from me.

I won't let them.

Lor is book seven of the Monstrous series, a post-apocalyptic m/m fantasy series that features monsters and human men falling in love. It is best to listen to the series in order. Intended for mature listeners.

Amazing book!

Lily can do no wrong. You will definitely cry, but hold out there is a HEA after this heartbreak ❤️‍🩹.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful

I’ve never been this emotionally wrecked by a book before. Why did no one warn me this was so heartbreaking?, I wanted to give up many times, my heart was shattered, I cried so much my eyes were swollen for hours, but I’m glad I kept going, the ending was just beautiful and so worth it.

Lor, omg this beautiful precious Moric, everything he went through was so painful, Lily truly made feel everything, I can still feel the pain her words caused.
And Jugs? Omg that sweet beautiful himbo is everything!

I don’t want to spoil this for anyone, but this is a must read in the series: Painfully Stunning!

I loved this book, I loved it so so much, it reached my soul and my heart in a very special way.

The ending! Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!!!

I cannot wait for the next books, also Seis and Gryf totally deserve their books as well.
This series is everything.

This series keeps getting better and better

Listening to Lor on audiobook was just as wonderful as when I first read the story. Out of all the books in this series, this might be the most beautiful and heartbreaking of them all! If you like this series, I would definitely give this one a go on audiobooks as well!

They were apart for so long!!

It’s so great to see how other elements of the previous books related so much to this one and really seeing kind of a conclusion come to all the turmoil that’s been happening I mean, obviously through each of the stories we’re getting to know more and more people and the friend group is explored more and the dynamics between everyone who’s not originally from earth is expanding more But this story was quite interesting and very unique and I don’t know if slowburn is the right way to put it, but when two characters are separated for such a long period of time it’s always heartbreaking. I was just really happy to see obviously that like the other books there is a happily ever after and I enjoy the story so much.

Strong story

This was an awesome read and listen. When I originally read the book, I wasn’t sure what Lor and Lyri would sound like. So I was totally fine with this interpretation.

Michael Lesley, as always, did a fantastic job at giving each character their own distinct voice.

Lor is my absolute favorite partner in this series. If I could choose one for myself, it would be him. And Seraph would be my baby. Jugs, our human himbo is a nice guy. My only critique is I wish he felt/came off as more devoted to Lor. It sorta feels like he really likes him but isn’t in love or attached in a deeper way. I think his side of the story needed a little tweaking - I couldn’t stop feeling like he didn’t deserve Lor’s unflinching devotion, but that might just be me. This is still one of my faves from this series. Lor was really put through the wringer. I highly recommend. I can’t wait for the next installment!!
