About this listen
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.

Story
Dancing is everything to me. It’s the mother I lost, the father who never sees me. It’s the fiery love of my life, and I’ll defend it to my last breath—that’s what it means to be the lead principal at one of the best ballet companies in the world. Just when I thought I was on top, my greatest rival—my eternal nemesis—waltzes back into my life: Nicoló Savini. The ache in my bones and the bane of my existence. If he thinks I’ll sit back and let him steal my spotlight, he’s sorely mistaken.

Story
Recently graduated at twenty-six, and two months behind on rent, Oliver Barnes is desperate. So desperate, in fact, that he applies for a job in the Greed district of Hell's Pentagram. But when he misses his train and, subsequently, his job interview, he stumbles, instead, upon a strange little coffee shop in the middle of Purgatory's barren desert—and into an unexpected opportunity. It isn't the job he came to Hell for, but maybe it's exactly the job he needs.

I swear I was only looking for a roommate. Just someone to watch TV and eat dinner with. Nothing… romantic. No way. But when I see all these humans gazing at me with open adoration and blatant lust and other things that make me wildly uncomfortable, I realize what a terrible mistake this is. Until I spot the one human woman in the group who is definitely not pleased to see me. In fact, she's scowling at me. She looks really, really annoyed. I'm kind of into it.

Story
Big City is supposedly the place where dreams come true. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn. Especially if you’re a supervillain like me. The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine.

When ghostwriter Maz Amani inherits a house from an uncle he’s never heard of, he offers heartfelt thanks to the universe, packs up his car, his cat, and his skepticism about mysterious uncles leaving all their worldly goods to unknown nephews, and high-tails it to a small town halfway to the Oregon coast. Anything would be better than week after week of couch surfing his way around Portland. Even if the alleged house is a rundown shack ridden with termites, spiders, and—shudder—rats, he’ll deal. Because hey, he owns a house!

Weirdly, people don’t react overly well when you’re caught standing over the dead body of a murderer who’d walked free. It’s not that I thought my fellow homicide detective would rejoice when he saw what I’d done, but is a pat on the back too much to ask for? Maybe a gold star at the very least? The problem is that the person who caught me is Gabriel, the only person I care for and adore… and he’s prepared to look the other way if I leave homicide and promise to never kill again.

And when poking around in his temporary home leads to accidentally summoning the hottest demon Sascha could ever imagine, he has to ask himself: does he want to feel powerless anymore?

What's a superhero to do when his own family sees his powers as unimpressive and he's fifth in line for the throne? Set my sights on getting space married to a hot alien, of course! For science. Ziggy Andromeda is a skinsuit-stealing mercenary who's so far out of my league, he might as well be in another galaxy, but there's nothing I love more than a challenge. And his spaceship has only one bed! Unfortunately, a home planet conspiracy is threatening our besties-with-benefits situationship, along with my dream of putting a Saturn-sized ring on it and locking Ziggy down for good. Rude.

My working hours are endless. My schedule is rigid. I leave no room for normal things like relationships. Until a pretty little thief breaks into my high-rise and shatters what I'd come to believe was peace. I find myself hesitating to pull the trigger for the first time.

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Reed Ellis is absolutely gorgeous but a total newbie to camming, a virtual nobody in my world. I should have just deleted his message request for a steamy on-camera collaboration. Not everyone is cut out to be a camboy. But there's just something about him I couldn't resist. He's timid and inexperienced, quiet and closed off, but his fumbling first times play out scorching hot for the cameras, and our videos together are an instant success. I know I should just ride this out, sit back and watch the money roll in, and then move on.

But when I see all these humans gazing at me with open adoration and blatant lust and other things that make me wildly uncomfortable, I realize what a terrible mistake this is. Until I spot the one human woman in the group who is definitely not pleased to see me. In fact, she's scowling at me. She looks really, really annoyed. I'm kind of into it.

The emo kid, the loner, the cynical wallflower with an attitude. It's no secret that I've never quite fit in. But it's glaringly obvious now that I've moved to this Podunk small town that seems to run entirely on sugar, friendliness, and cheer. (And cows, an ungodly number of cows.) I hate it—this place where everyone knows everyone, and I'm still the outsider. Who wants to fit in anyway? I've never really tried, never even thought I wanted to…until I met him. Jimbob is living his best life out here, farming the fields of Kansas, well and truly happy. And I just don't get it.

I'd never believed in magic before I met him, but now, I wasn't so sure.

Something is very wrong with the Fitzwilliam estate. It was supposed to be a regular seance job. But from the minute I met an angry ghost in the hall, I knew there wasn't going to be anything ordinary about this house or its dead residents. First of all, there were way too many of them. Second, some of them had been helped along from living to dead. Third, my attempt to figure out what was going on got a bit sidetracked when I met the gardener. He was tall, dark green, and handsome. And really, really smart. So I hired him to help me figure out what was going on.

This crushed my soul but I loved it
Lily Mayne may be my favorite author ever. I was captivated the entire time during Lor and it hit me so hard in my feelings and the payoff was worth it all. Michael Lesley understood the assignment and he gave it EVERYTHING and I am so thankful for his performance really elevated the story that much more. I just loved this entirely.

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!!

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.

dual pov!
i liked pretty much all the books but this one I loved. what made it 100% was the dual pov. I purposely look for books that had both characters pov because if it's only 1 sided I feel cheated. like I'm only get half the story. out of all the 7 book, this is the only book that has both povs for both mc. I still listened to the others even though it's only 1 sided pov but they were still that good to listen to. I really disliked not knowing both sides on the other books. I remember on the first book the most I always wanted to know the soul waters pov but it was only Danny's side. but then there was a book with only soul waters side but no Danny's. I would of loved what sariph? was going through in his book. but anyways I loved this books story line as well. really sad at pars but it also made it a good read. although I never find it believable when the author makes one a virgin specially at the age they are & the only excuse is the because of what he is. he still could of had a life but for some reason the authors love writing virgins in their books. even there 2 others that were virgins in the other books before. Danny & moth. I can kinda understand moth but Danny really? again make the virgins believable at least. specially this book.

Emotional
This series is absolutely epic. Lor was such an emotional roller coaster that I had to take a little breather in the middle, but the puffy eyes were well worth in the end. Can’t wait for the next book. Michael Lesley’s narration is phenomenal.

Emotional impact
Lor is equally awesome as the rest of the Monstrous series. Having read the novel before listening, the story was known to me; but the emotional impact is just as intense through the narration as reading, if not more so.
There are a couple of I think unintentionally slightly comical voice acting moments (during sex scenes), but the TWENTY HOUR audiobook is spectacularly narrated by Michael Lesley. The character voices are distinct and consistent, and his reading perfectly consistent with the emotional content of the text for the entire story.
OH MAN does this story go for the emotional hits. It's fantastically done, but just be prepared for so very many tears
Unlike the other books in the Monstrous series (not counting the 3.5 "novella" Wyn), the narrative is split between Jugs and Lor for the entire story, and the majority of this story is told from Lor's POV. (This makes sense for the unfolding plot events.) Also unlike the other books (also except 3.5), this takes place mostly in the Monster's world, which is really cool. It's also lacking the "sudden bouts of violence" - which given the setting, makes sense.
I love so many things about this book, but one of my favorites is how expressive Jugs and Lor are af their emotions. (At least to each other.)
If you're invested in the Monstrous series and haven't read this yet, it's an emotional gauntlet, but so worth it. Possibly you could start here, but you'd be missing out on a lot of context and ancillary world building. Granted, not critical to understanding the story, but so neccessary to appreciate the full richness of what Lily Mayne has crafted so far.
SPOILERS:
It's ok in the end. I promise. 💙
