Malice by Mia Monroe

His undead ex is hellbent on dragging him to a premature afterlife. It’s my job to save him without getting us both killed.

Malice, an all-new opposites attract, M/M, paranormal romance and the first book in the Soul Chasers Series from bestselling author Mia Monroe is now available!

Aster

I’m dead.
Or at least I was.
Until I got the opportunity to return to the life I was abruptly torn away from. It’s a no-brainer as far as I’m concerned. I’m not done living yet.
The catch? Become a Soul Chaser. Hunt down the Horrors, deadly souls that escaped The Below and return them to the depths where they belong.
My first assignment comes all too quickly, and I’m thrown into a dangerous world where a man’s life is in my inexperienced hands. The Horror attached to Hudson Davis is particularly nasty with a vendetta that even death didn’t resolve.
Hudson is terrified, rightfully so, and if I’m honest so am I, but there’s too much on the line for me to back out now. Not just my continued journey in the Above, but the chance at something that eluded me my first go round at life—love.
To save Hudson, I have to face Malice head on and not get myself killed. Again. If I’m successful, maybe the tormented and guarded man I’m quickly falling for can see how real our connection is and I can make the most of my second chance at life.

Malice is book one in Soul Chasers, an MM paranormal romance with dark themes, mid-level relationship angst, and spice. In Malice, you can expect a traumatized writer afraid of trusting anyone new, a newbie Soul Chaser recently returned to life (with just a few strings attached), a cast of dead and undead characters, two opposites forced together against a malicious entity, the steamiest revenge, and a love that overcomes all odds.

Malice by Mia Monroe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aster, waking up in the afterlife, discovers he is a Soul Chaser. His new job… hunting down deadly souls called Horrors (ghosts, spirits, poltergeists). Hudson barely survived when his stalker tried to kill him then killed himself. Hudson thought his ordeal was over but it was just beginning.

The book started slowly. It seemed the author was packing the beginning with info pertinent to the new series. I do understand the importance of this, though I didn’t really get into the book until about a third of the way through.

I like the world the author created. The concept of basically waiting rooms for dead souls was different. I liked how Aster was thrown in to the deep end with just an instruction manual. His “job” was a totally new concept for me. I really liked Crash and hope to see more of him.

Hudson’s horror was particularly nasty. The author did a great job of making him creepier as the book progressed.

Overall I enjoyed the story and am looking forward to learning more about the cast of characters that were introduced in this book.
