AND THIS IS WHAT AMELIA HUTCHINS EXCELS AT!!
“You should have stayed hidden, sweet sister, for monsters are everywhere.”
“It wouldn’t have been fine. You wouldn’t have been fine. You sure as fuck wouldn’t have been out of your bed today. When I fuck, I own, I dominate, and I fuck without an ounce of mercy. I claim. When I finish with someone, they sure as fuck don’t walk away saying it’s fine.”
“You should run from me, sweet witch. I’m a one-way ride to the dark side, and there’s no return ticket home. Not that I’d let you go once I had you, anyway,”
“I’d rather not stand in front of the entire coven as a battered, broken example. I’m battered, but I’m never broken. You’ll figure it out without me.”
"We just went to war with our bodies, and she was ill-prepared, fucking starved for nourishment."
"You want to see what real power feels like?"Told in multiple POV, Playing with Monsters is a smoking hot blend of magic, complex characters, passion, and forbidden romance. The dynamics between Lucian and Lena are intense and the stakes are high the entire read. The writing is lyrical and truthfully, I could not turn the pages fast enough!
"She didn't do wild sex; she went to war when she fucked."Overall, Playing with Monsters will appeal to any and all paranormal romance fans. I have been a fan of Amelia Hutchins for a long time and Playing with Monsters is one series that has me completely hooked! I am looking forward to more Lena and Lucian!
The past has a way of repeating itself. A new game is beginning.
Most thought I was Lucifer's right-hand man, but i was so fucking much more.
"You need someone who isn't afraid to give you what you need, what you crave. What you yourself are afraid to ask for. Any real man would have felt the need; I did.
If I fall for him, I fear that the monster that sleeps within me will awaken, and I'm scared that if it does, I won't recognize myself anymore.
"Sometimes we don't care about the romance; it's the sex we are after. The feel of flesh, and the intense need to soothe the ache."
"You have a dark side, little witch; let it out to play."
I needed to own her, to hear her cream my name. To feel her flesh pound against mine; continually pounding it until she was nothing more than a hot, quivering mess.
I don’t write love stories: I write fast paced, knock you on your ass, make you sit on the edge of your seat wondering what happens next books.
