A Review of Genoveva Dimova's "Monstrous Nights"

As soon as I finished Genoveva Dimova’s “Foul Days,” I jumped online to see when I could expect the sequel. I was so happy to get it almost immed iately. “Monstrous Nights” picks up right where the action in “Foul Days” ends, and it does not disappoint .   Kosara teams up again with Asen, working to finish the job of tracking down the infamous smuggler Konstantin Karaivanov while fighting off the city’s monsters . Along the way, Asen is thrown a major curveball, but  finds belonging in unlikely company . Kosara has to learn to control her new-found powers while exploring her developing feelings for Asen.   This was, again, a very satisfying, atmospheric read that ticks all the boxes in an urban fantasy romance mashup. The use of Eastern European lore and folktale gives it a f resh spin. The characters are fun and varied. I would love to see these two books adapted into film or a TV series. I received this book from NetGalley .
