The Monster Hotel series by Ella Maven is a two-book monster romance series published in 2023. The premise puts human women in a hotel setting where they encounter monstrous beings and, predictably, sparks fly. It marks a shift from Maven’s usual alien romance territory into the growing monster romance subgenre.
The Guest With Claws opens the series with a clawed creature as the love interest, while The Stranger With Wings follows with a winged monster. Both books keep the paranormal romance elements that Maven’s readers expect, but the hotel setting gives each story a contained, atmospheric quality that differs from her space-faring series.
At just two books, Monster Hotel is a quick read for fans curious about Maven’s take on monster romance. It pairs well with her other non-alien series, The Queen’s Beast, for readers who enjoy her writing but want something beyond the usual alien warrior pairing.
