She Came from the Swamp

Series: Dreamers & Demons: Sapphic Monsters Book 1

Genre: LGBT Monster Romance

Nadezhda is running away from her problems—mainly her family's supernatural murder cult that's constantly putting her loved ones in danger. Fortunately, her grandmother left her the house at the edge of a swamplife preserve so she can go off-grid for a while.
It turns out the shack isn't the only thing she's inherited—the ancient kikimora who followed her family from Ukraine years ago is still dwelling in the swamp and she's looking for an offering.
Suddenly the tales Nadezhda heard of the creature don't seem so scary anymore, and she's willing to fight off her natural instincts to run if it means she gets to give herself to the most beautiful monster.

This book left me with a lot of questions. Which I was not expecting. I need more information about Nadezhda's weird family though! What kind of power do they have? Why have they decided to use it to fight crime? Maybe they're using it that way. She seems to spin it as such, but also that they suck? Wild.

Then there's the kikimora. Who's hot. And a really cool folktale that I got to research after reading this little jaunt in the swamp. We love a sexy avenging spirit in this house. And she is that. Petty, sexy, avenging swamp monster. I was here for it. I thought I was just signing up for a quick monster romp, and I'm left with so many questions!
