Book Review: The Minotaur's Motivation by Safia Nyx

 

Book Description

I won’t allow myself to fall in love with a monster criminal, even if they are my “fated mate”.

Cerys

I haven’t felt safe since… well lets just say, for a long time.

Now I’m working in this grimy, maze of a prison as a therapist, with no idea how to escape. I’m just as trapped as the prisoners.

On top of everything I’ve just been assigned this huge Minotaur hybrid. The biggest and most aggressive client I’ve had yet. A murderer. I hope I can handle him.

Cam

There’s no redemption for monsters like me.

Hybrid. Outcast. Killer.

I gave up on hope a long time ago. I want to do my time in peace and stay in control of my Minotaur side. But when I see her, one word resounds in my mind.

MINE.

Now she is all that matters. I won’t let anyone hurt her. Not the past that haunts her, the monster hating guards or the other inmates. Even if that means letting the worst side of myself out to play.

Fated Inmates is a series of novellas about morally grey monsters with dark pasts and the human women they are fated to claim. Each book can be read alone, but they happen in the same time frame, in the same prison. So you will get the best experience if you read them all in order.

My Review

Cerys had her life upended when a seer came to her school when she was younger and told her that she was fated to be mated to a monster. Her life took a horrid turn after that because the purist townspeople of her town thought she must be part monster to be a mate to one. Now she's a therapist in a monster prison until the day she meets her fated mate and they can leave to be together. 

Cam is part minotaur and part bat. He's the biggest prisoner in the prison where Cerys works and he's been assigned to her. Cerys doesn't want to meet her mate and doesn't want to be mated to a monster because of the trouble it caused her in her past. But when she meets Cam things change because he knows right away that she's his mate. She feels a pull towards to him but fights it at first. But these two can't fight the pull between them for long.

I hope we get to see more of the shadow demon prisoner because he seems really interesting. 

Some of the male guards don't like the male prisoners and treat them badly because they don't like the fact that the female therapists are supposed to meet their monster fated mates here. So when a huge fight breaks out in the prison, Cam has to do what he can to keep Cerys safe. I liked the ending and seeing what happened to them. I'll definitely be reading more of this series.

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars
