Creepin U Book 4: Penn & Inkubus by Essie Sloane

 

Creepin U Book 4

You’re formally admitted to Creelin University—known locally as “Creepin U.” The only things wilder than the monster shifters prowling around campus are the spicy male-male love stories unfolding between classes. Penn & Inkubus is book four, starring an Inkubus and his journalist friend who feeds him. Each book is a stand-alone M/M spooky romance, but we hope you enroll in them all.

Penn

I'd been curious about monsters my entire life, so when the opportunity to attend Creelin University came my way, I knew I had to take it. And that's where I met him - the most perfect looking human I'd ever seen.

Except that he's not a human. He's an incubus, and we both write on the school paper together. I knew I wanted to get to know him the moment I saw him, and when I noticed he wasn't looking great, I took my opportunity.

I volunteered to be his feeder.

My initial curiosity may be getting sated, but I'm left with more questions every day.

Cam

I've always been a little different than everyone else in my family. We're all monsters. We're all the same kind of monster, but unlike them, I don't like having multiple feeders. Which worked for me, until the feeder I'd been using since the hunger awakened was no longer available to me.

When my new friend Penn offered to fill the spot, I almost said no, but I was kind of desperate.

But he's awakening a different kind of hunger in me the more I get to know him.

Penn & Inkubus is a low angst friends to lovers monster romance set at a university where monsters and humans mingle and fall in love.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Penn is another human excited to be part of CU. An aspiring journalist he is excited to be part of the colleges newspaper. If only the editor would give him a chance at an interesting topic. In the meantime, he will try and not be too distracted by his friend and crush, Cam, an incubus. But when Penn starts to notice that something is wrong with Cam, he can’t help but see what is going on. He learns that Cam is in need of a feeder after his left the school to study abroad. And Penn can’t help but volunteer. Cam isn’t like other incubuses. They are known to have more than one feeder, but that is something he has never been able to do. His one and only feeder was his best friend and though they were hooking up to feed Cam in that exchange of energy, they never fell for one another. But now his best friend is gone and he needs to find someone else that he is comfortable with or risk getting sick and in the hospital. And when Penn volunteers, Cam can’t help but feel a little thrilled about it. Especially after he makes sure Penn’s questions are answered and knows what he is signing up for. Penn even gets inspiration to start a series for the paper about incubus and relationships with humans. It’s the beginning of others getting informed about human and monster relationships. As the two begin this exchange, feelings start to develop. While there might be challenges as they figure out a new relationship between them, as long as they have each other it will all work out. I really loved Penn and Cam. It was interesting to see how a relationship between an incubus and a human could work considering an incubus’s abilities. But it worked out in the best way. These two were so sweet! Another great one from this series and I can’t wait for the next one!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
