Oh, 'Gods & Monsters' is such a fascinating topic! From what I've gathered, it's actually a standalone novel, but it feels like it could easily expand into a series because the world-building is so rich. The author, Shelby Mahurin, crafted this dark, lush fantasy with
witches and divine intrigue that leaves you craving more. I remember finishing it and immediately wishing there was a sequel—it has that kind of gripping depth where you’d happily follow the characters for another book or two. But nope, as of now, it’s a one-and-done story, which honestly makes it even more special. Sometimes, a single, perfectly contained tale hits harder than a sprawling series.
That said, if you’re into standalone fantasies with a punch, this one’s a gem. It’s got romance, danger, and mythology woven together in a way that lingers long after the last page. I’d compare it to '
The Night Circus' in how it leaves you both satisfied and wistful for more.
