Monsters--shadows, gills, wings, and more. The things I fear crave me... and they've been here the whole time. Hiding, waiting, and wanting. Lurking, sneaking, and watching. Traveling the country camping was supposed to be an escape from the strange and unusual that clings to my family. My family's calling to fame terrifies me. The ghosts, the hauntings, the supernatural--I want nothing to do with it. Too bad it wants everything to do with me. Where did the trip first go wrong? Maybe when an old friend with dark secrets insisted on coming--a rising rock star whose fame is now putting me in the limelight. Then there is the West Virginia local legend. A monster myth of cryptid fame. A campfire story. But there are those that believe--that are willing to do whatever it takes to capture the monster in the mountains. Maybe even use humans as bait. Maybe even use me. Author Note: This is a monster romance with multiple love interests the female lead will not choose between. There are mature themes including spice, significant violence, language, and etc. This is book one of a series and will be slow build, meaning not all love interests are introduced in book one.

It is exciting when someone suggests a book that is completely off your radar. Especially one that promises so much. Enter Run & Hide (Myths & Monsters, #1).
It follows a woman, whose family runs a ghost hunter show, to national parks to take exciting photos of gear for an outdoor camping company. Her stepbrother, who is in a popular rock band, wants to tag along for the ride. Little do they know, the rock stars' bandmates do not want him to go, and show up to stifle their plans.
I thought the plot was fairly enjoyable, and it has all the ingredients of a good monster escapade. It's set in a secluded area, creatures are running amok, characters are picked off one by one, and survival instincts are put to the test. I was actually quite pleased to see some film references and literary shout-outs strewn about the plot. It added a bit of reprieve from the lasciviousness. But its main goal is to entertain, so does it succeed? Yeah, I think so. It is what it is, for better or worse. If you want to disconnect from reality for awhile, this will definitely deliver.
But let's not beat around the bush any longer. It's pretty graphic. It's not as bad as I initially thought, but it contains some pretty hefty content. But, I must say, some of the more steamy sequences are intriguing. Weird, but interesting.
