Saints and Monsters Paperback – March 5, 2024
Purchase options and add-ons
With her crooked spine and reckless heart, Princess Meera always knew she wasn't meant to become queen of Ezo. But when her sister, the rightful heir, is cursed on the eve of her coronation, Meera must defend her kingdom from ruthless invaders by taking the throne. Yet, while some countries have simple coronations, in Ezo . . .
The princess must first claim a sea dragon.
Only the dragon is vicious, perfect, and whole-everything Meera is not. And if the dragon doesn't deem her worthy, it will devour her. Turning to the Saints for help, she doesn't anticipate that her actions will transform the dragon into a mortal, or that she'll steal his heart . . . literally.
Now, as two hearts beat inside Meera's chest, she's reminded that her life is entwined with a dragon, who despises her weaknesses. Despite their differences, they must work together to reverse the curse and save the kingdom before more is lost than their stolen hearts.

I read it first then my three teen sons, we all enjoyed it, and were actually fighting over who got to read it. My sons especially enjoyed the adventure and fantasy aspects, as well as it's setting in Asia, since they enjoy anime ect... I appreciated that it was something in the genre that was profanity and sex content free, something that is almost impossible to find. We are looking forward to reading more from this author.

A note for sensitive readers:
There is quite a bit more magic than I typically enjoy. There’s mentions of charms, chants, potions, curses, incense, gods. It was a bit unclear who the Saint was, though I believe it was meant to be an allegory for Jesus. I think the faith system could have been made a bit more clear in the storyline. Most of the magic I disagree with wasn’t shown on page, so that’s something I appreciate.
What a gorgeous book. Meera’s journey from self loathing to confidence is especially powerful. I love the chronic illness rep and the strong sibling relationships, and I was surprised at how much I ended up loving Meera and Soran together. The dragons were at turns awe inspiring and terrifying, and I loved seeing Soran grapple with the reality of becoming human and the many emotions that come with it. The whole premise of Meera literally possessing Soran’s heart was so beautiful.
Very much recommend this book.
I’d highly recommend this one, and since the author kept it PG, it’s the kind of book I would have handed my daughter when she was a young girl teen.
Though we did not get nearly enough of it (in my opinion) I could not adore more the sibling bond between our main heroine Meera, her sister Runa, and their brother. Their shared love and humor warmed my heart and made me laugh—which was needful, considering some of the heartbreak that ensues. Devotion to her sister is Meera's driving force, and while I cringed at some of the decisions she made, choices that had and will continue to have painful consequences, I appreciated that very same thing. It displays that we all make mistakes, not all the decisions we make are necessarily the best or wisest ones, and while there are always consequences, we can choose to move forward.
I don't want to ramble on about our two studs (read it and we can chat, yeah?) But I liked how rounded both of them were, along with their contrasting and conflicting personalities. Dragon is blunt with underwhelming communication skills and Casmir scorched cinnamon roll (though that still feels like an oversimplification of all that he is—that they both are). We laughed, we cried, we jumped off cliffs and plotted in boiler rooms with too much coffee and garishly pink pants. It was great.
Just...Don't eat the pudding.
Overall, this is a wholesome and heartfelt story with endearing characters and a twist at the end that glued me down to that last, beautiful beat. I highly recommend it.
