To explain a little about what this post will be about, every Trope Tuesday post starts with the same introduction. In every romance book you read there are tropes or archetypes you find inside its pages. You can also see them in shows, movies, plays, etc. Every type of entertainment and media. Romantic tropes are everywhere, and they are fabulous. I adore them and I always tend to find my favorite ones in romance books so I can enjoy them even more. Trope Tuesday is a weekly column where I share books that I know people will enjoy with a specific central trope.
What is a trope? Urban Dictionary explains it best: “Despite the erroneous definitions already published here, trope on the interwebs really refers to an often overused plot device. It can also be described as another variation on the same theme. TV shows, movies, comics, games, anime’, & books are full of tropes & many rabid fan-sites now name & track said tropes with self-explanatory title for each one.” We can name a few: accidental pregnancy, best friends to lovers, sibling’s best friend, marriage of convenience, and so many more. Your favorite couples? They probably got a trope too! It’s always so nice to realize or find out your favorite romance trope and keep searching for books with the same theme. So really? I’m just helping you find that new favorite book of yours. If ever you want a post on a trope I haven’t done yet, do drop me a tweet at @thebookvoyagers and let me know!
First things first, I know I’ve already done one other monster romance Trope Tuesday but it was a few months ago and people change every single day. And yeah, I got to know more monster romances, I got to love this subgenre— this trope — more and more each day, so I needed to share my knowledge of some books that I have a feeling many will love if you’re into this trope as much as I am.
What do I love about monsters? Maybe it’s the fact that a big, evil monster/being is going to be very soft for their love interest, each and every time. It’s so interesting to see the dynamic, to see how the author shows us the fine line between a monster and a human, how it is such a grey area. Plus monsters always have the best of times so these next books will make you… scream, probably. And laugh and definitely smile.
