Friends with the Monsters audiobook – Friends with the Monsters, Book 1

Nestled under my cozy blanket, with a cup of hot cocoa by my side, the mellifluous voices of Vanessa Moyen and Lucas Webley enveloped me. As a 30-year-old woman with an insatiable appetite for romantic tales infused with a touch of the supernatural, Friends with the Monsters Audiobook intrigued me deeply. Albany Walker’s portrayal of a human, yet monstrous protagonist resonated with the many facades we, as humans, often wear. Who hasn’t, after all, faced inner demons or hidden aspects of our personality?

There was an allure in the balancing act the lead character maintained between two worlds, two identities. It reminded me of my younger days, juggling friendships from different spheres of life, sometimes wearing contrasting personalities. I empathized with the protagonist’s struggle for identity and acceptance, making me contemplate the fine line between human and monster, between love and danger.

Albany Walker’s narrative was a roller-coaster, and as I swung between fear, empathy, love, and suspense, I was left with an aching curiosity. The duality of the protagonist’s nature and the blurring line between humanity and monstrosity struck a chord. Isn’t love, after all, about embracing both the light and the shadows?
