He was
an artist. She was his muse.
To everyone in town, Abel Adams was the devil's spawn, a boy who never should have been born. A monster.
To twelve year-old Evie Hart, he was just a boy with golden hair, soft t-shirts and a camera. A boy who loved taking her picture and sneaking her chocolates before dinner. A boy who made her feel special.
Despite her family's warnings, she loved him in secret for six years. They met in empty classrooms and kissed in darkened church closets. Until they couldn't.
Until the time came to choose between love and family, and Evie chose Abel.
Because their love was worth the risk. Their love was the stuff of legend.
But the thing about legends is that they are cautionary tales. They are made of choices and mistakes. And for Abel and Evie, the artist and the muse, those mistakes come in the form of lights, camera, sex.
NOTE: This is NOT a paranormal or a priest romance.

This third book from Saffron A. Kent is nothing like her previous books and I love that. I had no idea what to expect from Gods & Monsters and I’m certain that’s why it was such a wonderful surprise and I really enjoyed it.
This coming of age story has everything. Especially a plot that resonates with people, strong and flawed characters. Both equally well developed and just kept unfolding as the story progressed.
Abel and Evie aka Pixie. I loved everything about them. How their story began when Evie was twelve , Abel fourteen and how they formed a friendship and an alliance. Not only against her parents but also their town who tried to keep them apart. Their friendship slowly turned into a powerful love that was an unstoppable force. The odds were against Abel and Evie from the beginning but nothing could keep them from one another. All that hate and objection towards their love led to them feeling so much anger and ultimately running away together.
Abel and Evie had to deal with their anger and their solution was unconventional but I totally got it. Their love and connection was intoxicating and incredible. Abel was Evie’s God and she worshipped him but it was also the other way around. Evie was everything to Abel. He was such a hot alpha who needed Evie to breathe. Their love oozed off the pages. I was waiting for the conflict to happen and when it did it was emotional. It was so important for the characters growth and I appreciate the way Saffron A. Kent chose to go about it.
I love the message/theme of the book. People and their opinions are everywhere. How they view us and how we view ourselves but it’s important to listen to oneself. Abel and his Pixie had to learn that the hard way but it only made them stronger. Survivors.

Author Bio
Writer
of bad romances. Aspiring Lana Del Rey of the Book World.
Saffron is a big believer in love (obviously). She believes in happily ever after, the butterflies and the tingling. But she also believes in edgy, rough and gutsy kind of love. She believes in pushing the boundaries, darker (sometimes morally ambiguous) emotions and imperfections.
The kind of love she writes about is flawed just like her characters. And she hopes by the end of it, you’ll come to root for them just as much as she does. Because love, no matter where it comes from, is always pure and beautiful.
