...Sully the Dullahan... Cecelia gone... And barbershop sexorz. Way to go. More, please!
Ooh, I was wondering when a Dullahan would enter the cast!
I miss Cecilia, though...
Loved it! So much needed to be caught up and restored and advanced, it was good to see. And I want Asterion to have a new playmate, a lovely and horny Centaur filly that just loves his muscles, And I want to see the personality you give her. Beth needs to explore more before she finally gives Mike a chance. I am looking forward to more from the invisible, tarot generated, 'Death', as Mike does need some male buddies besides King Reggie. And what is Cecilia to think about all the changes about the house in her absence? An excellent read, please give us many more! TTFN
I want celia back *whines*, I will scream and throw a tantrum.
Other than that, loved most of the chapter:)
Great, now I have to wait for the next installment of your amazingly superb story! I want you to know I am envious of your sheer talent, and hope to have many more chapters to enjoy even if the pauses between them are nigh unbearable. In short, good job, keep it up!
So great to be able to catch up with Mike and the house again. Can’t wait for more chapters and are hoping he goes to the far court to see Cecilia. As always love your writing. Keep up the awesome work
I love her so!
Excellent chapter!
Keep up the good work!
FDD
Great to see you picking up this six star story again, it's been an enchanting read so far (and not just because I'm in love with the fairies) and a chapter with only a little heart-stopping drama is nice for a change, too (I love the fairies under all circumstances).
I'm a little miffed at the new character being male (even if this headless horseman has a head but no horse), actual fuckable monsters numbering only 16 so far (and that's including the Mandragora) of which 3 haven't even teamed up with Mike yet (even though Dana subsists on Mike's 'essence' (and she used to bring over pizza (which is good too))). No, I'm not counting Baba Yaga or the Utah Arachne, and I have little hope for any female rats.
Anyway, I'm already looking much forward to the next chapter!
this story started out interesting, with an interesting premise ... sadly the author seemed to forget that a story is supposed to have a beginning, a middle, and an END ... not endless chapters of a middle that turned into total stupid a LOOOOONNNNG time ago
I’m curious to see how the grim reaper and a dullahan will interact since they do similar things.
I got on to Literotica today not expecting much. But when I saw the title, and your name underneath, I let out a little cheer! I honestly feel like I've been given a gift today, and as I have already said, "It's not even my birthday"! Thank you, thank you, thank you for starting another book.
Keep going with how you see the story progressing. Love the character development and growth. The interpersonal relationships and subplots just make it even better. Can't wait to see how Cecilia's story adds to the growing family. JT
incredible work and always know the length of time it takes to complete your writings is irrelevant. Because to me it's always always worth it. Much more success to you Dear. Regards, Mark H.
...it seems like you were working from a plan all along!
I started reading hfhmg near the end of book 1, and was hooked pretty quickly. I just finished a full reread, wrapping up chapter 42 the morning this one was published, and was impressed at the neatness and tidiness the storytelling. And your imagination. And your grasp of and ability to express emotions.
You've taken what could easily be a schlock genre concept, and set yourself up with a real swing for the fences with a tale about life and death, love and loss, memory and identity , and a whole host other poignant, heartfelt, human themes. The memory and identity themes are explored with particular skill, and I really hope to see where you go with all these!
In your bio, you call yourself the JK Rowling of monster erotica, but I think another solid comparison for you is Neil Gaiman.
Thanks for sharing this story with us! I can't wait to see if my hunch about where you're taking this is right, and I'm glad to be along for the ride!
Great start to a new book! Glad to see new writing. Hope all is well irl. Looking forward to more . :)
Your charachter mike is soo conflicting. Some times he's the cool, smart and rational dude. But most of the time he's just an emotional, screaming guy who doesn't know what to do in any situation.
By now I would have guessed that my guy has progressed as a caretaker, and would know the worth and dangers that go with it. Why does he keep getting caught of guard? He's supposed to be this computer whiz, those type of people don't get caught of guard and panick. They regroup and analyse.
You should improve and mature him. He's not a kid
Just my 2 sense
Oh my god! I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes! Hoo! I was reading this late at night and had to stop myself from laughing out too loudly! I had to write this comment to give myself to time to be able to read again!
What a great image - who among us has NOT burped soda (and thinking he or she was slick) held it to blow it out his or her nose only to discover the nose-hair burning, eye-watering, grab-at-your-face-because-you're-certain-it's falling-off PAIN of doing so - all attempted slickness well and truly gone!
GREAT line in a (so-far) great story!
Keep up the good work.
Mel
writerannabelle, you are becoming one of my favorite authors, keep up the excellent work. Lots of love Jay
Please ignor the hater dumbass anonymous. Who posted such a rude comment. They obviously have no tast for a great book series. They said it's way to long and has become stupid. They couldn't be more wrong. This is one of those kind of stories that turns into a long lasting series. You have tons and tons of appreciative fans who love your work. So please as one of your true fans. I'm asking that you totally ignore such a stupid comment.
I've been reading this story since the beginning and have loved it from day one. I'm not sure how your marvelous imagination comes up with some of the plots. I will say that I really will be upset if Cecilia doesn't come back. I can't see him not making the headless horseless man take him to her immediately. It would be totally out of character for him not too. You say this book is about the house itself, I hope we won't have to wait for the next book to deal with her. I'm signed in as anonymous because I'm having trouble logging in but am signing with my account name.

I keep having flashbacks to Death from Discworld, with Christopher Lee doing the voice, and wondering if this is an homage. "Cats. I like cats." And, of course, the Carroll poem whenever the Jabberwocky is mentioned -- "One, two! One, two! And through and through / The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! / He left it dead, and with its head / He went galumphing back."
Loved the update with all the gang and their projects.
Thanks for sharing. 5* Slainté
There was something about this chapter that was fantastic. I have been reading you since the beginning and you writing has grown as much as your characters. This new book flows like Nymph water. The haircut scene was exciting and vivid. I am excited to see what you have in store for us and the characters. Believe in yourself as much as we do.
Best
I love the Story but this episode was after waiting for almost a month was boring until the end, I wish the chapters were longer.
Once again you have outdone yourself. Your story has so much life and depth to it that I can not believe it has taken you so long to get published. Please don't kill off Cecila, the house and her family need her back. Maybe you can have Tink build a Trojan Porch Swing and fill it with the killer ninjas you threatened to send after me when I asked if I could put you story in PDF form (grin).
I am happy that you have starting writing again and I love the serries keep up the good work
This episode was great. Nice to have a gentle happy chapter on occasion. A recap from time to time is quite helpful, as you have quite a few characters to keep track of (and good or bad, they are all terrific.)
I miss Cecilia but also Lily & Dana. And for when Beth to be with Mike?
Writing a nice quiet chapter, with romantic moments for the key players, sex with the
Water Nymph and a Cliff Hanger Ending that nobody is complaining about!
Can there be anything less than a five star rating for this? I think not!
Hurray for the start of HFHM 4! Such a nice start and refresher on the residents of the home, and then you drop the bomb at the end. I am REALLY looking forward to the journey to bring Cecilia home (hopefully). Much love to writerannabelle for sharing this story.
Okay, so we have the tarot card Death (love Yuki's cards btw), zombie Dana ("dead girl" as Tink calls her), and now a dullahan, BUT we are still missing our resident death spirit Cecilia!! I should be mad, but after three amazing books I trust you to give a satisfying resolution to her absence. The start of a new book looks like this will be a major story thread with the Fae and should be interesting.
They're still working on the soul shard Oliver left in Berth. I wonder if there is more to it hmmm...
"Cream" in the coffee and snorting bacon -- How I love your sense of humor ;)
I like the residual tension between Sofia and Yuki. With this many characters in play it's not realistic that everyone gets along perfectly all of the time.
Never thought a haircut could be so sexy and I like Abella being a voyeur again. I'd like to see her playing with her tail some more, maybe you could do a solo scene or two for a little variety.
I'm already imagining the kinky possibilities of Sulyvahn's detachable head and I'm sure Beth is too ;)
WOW, I'm officially confused. Guess I'm gonna have to stick around for the next chapter huh? But please don't do away with Celia!!
Not sure if I read that fast out of excitement or if it was little shorter than usual. Nice if the chapters were more than 2 or 3 pages. Would be cool if you did a Tefler 20 plus page chapter, but then again he doesn't upload as often and we always want more. I'm sure he's an AI anyway.
Tefler's long installments are great for his long chapters. However, I do enjoy your more frequent short chapters that keep the story flowing on a regular basis.
I have never commented before but you have forced me to... This story is wonderful and I can't Waite for more please post faster!!!!
Even Simon and Garfunkel want Cecilia to come home...as do I.
Finally, a chapter where I can relax for a bit. I had been missing Mike and Naia.
Holy hell do you have an ability to spin a great yarn. Masterfully build story line. Awesome characters and relationships. To say I'm hooked is such the understatement. Anxiously waiting the next installment. Keep up the great work.
Loving the whole series! And definitely a heck of a twist! First Death, and now the Headless Horseman? Is there going to be an audience with the Queen of the Fae in the works?
Ms Annabelle. This has been one of your best. I'm glad that I have caught up with your writing because I have been binge reading up until now. You have a unique talent and my 75 year old male barber will never measure up after tonight!
Thank you for sharing your fantasies with us. You have a unique talent. I'm jealous of the man who gets to share your bed. Saludos!
Miss, as you've already written around 400000 words, I'd recommend that you compile them into a book or epub. You can even release it in an app called webnovel, I suggest you to try it out.
Great series and I am glad that you begun e-publishing your first installment of this series. Your ability for taking your lead character and the many other characters thur many a strange situation is awesome character devolpement. Mike's great fun with his harem keeps bring us back for more.
I was tempted to wait a bit longer so I could binge read multiple chapters but I simply could not wait. I love this story and your writing never ceases to amaze. I look forward to seeing where the story goes with book 4.
You truly are in inspiration to me!
The things you dream up. A floating ball of water with shampoo added ending up on Mike's head with water fingers washing his hair...
Every paragraph is full of your quirky humor and fathomless imagination.
Well done Annabelle.
It is really fascinating that there are so many storylines that I anticipate. Danas healing, the Dana/Lily adventure, Cecilias return, the return of Amir and Elizabeth, ... Just so much that can (and probalby will) happen in the next dozen chapters or so. I literaly can not wait.
First off, want to say I tell appreciate all that you have made for your readers. Second, I just wanted to say that as soon as you mentioned Deaths voice, I immediately started reading it as a British Kelsey Grammer. That's all. Thanks again!
So nice to finally have a relaxing moment in the constant whirlwind of this series. Good to see the house finally fixed up and not getting blown to smithereens every other chapter.
"Dead girl wait for Tink next time,"
Possibly the best tinkism yet!
I set this series aside to let the chapters accumulate. Here I go again. Fantastic!
Loving the story, truly fantastic. I’m just wondering though, will we get more Zel? And will Mike fuck her while she’s still centaury instead of humany?
Love all of this. At this point there are enough non-POV characters around that it'd be fun if there were occasional sex things happening in the background, or that Mike stumbled across, that the POV character didn't instigate. If the monsters are horny, seems like there'd be some action not involving a POV character from time to time. Just saying!
Again I LOVE this series.
I hope you will bring back Cecilia. Its sad for both of them.
Mike gets a fucking haircut... Where can I go stand in line for the same? ;-)
Thank you, Annabelle, for such an incredible world and story! My second read, so far.
Sláinte,
GZ
Wow! Having a fetish for haircuts means this chapter almost killed me. I'm not going to be able to get a haircut without turning bright red and walking funnily.
Wonderful. This is the only non-human story I've ever read beyond the first chapter/page.
I’m with Mike and the rest … where’s Cecilia and why hasn’t she returned? Finn
After so many mentions, Such a simple answer for the prolonged question of why his hairs been growing :p. Minor red herring
I know there are plenty of chapters after this one but cecilia best be comin back 😪
I want to take a moment of my time to offer some encouragement. When I read this chapter, I had an actual physical reaction to it. It affected my mood and made me feel sick to my stomach, as Cecilia is my favorite character. I searched the comments for words of encouragement and found none. I almost quit reading the story all together. If this is you, don't stop reading. Keep going
Loved it! I will miss Cicilia though. Hoping the queen's audience is a reward and not a punishment for a newbie mistake by Mike.
I really enjoy your writing. Such creative force with timely, pinpoint execution. Rick O
Wow, now that is how you start a story!
Comfort and serenity broken, and a new quest begins, not to mention tons of foreshadowing for future havok. ^_^V
No idea what's going on but will miss Cecilia so I hope you'll bring her back in due course but why is she a "detained" guest of the fairies queen. And what on earth is a dullahan?
Can Dana and Beth be saved?
I love how you integrate many mythologies and lore. And though the dullahan intrigues me...i miss cecelia. That being said this is yet anather great chapter written by the genius that is Annabelle. That all for now. As always dont ever stop writing and never change.
"Mike dropped his beer and leapt off the porch…" Mike clearly isn't Irish; Cecilia and Sulyvahn would both be disappointed in him for *dropping* a beer.
Other than that, 5/5 all down the line.
FYI, a dulluhan is an Irish spirit that is essentially a headless horseman, but it's debated whether or not the horseman was headless or the horse itself was headless.
Hell NO! Cecilla needs to come home! I can't wait to see what our fabulous author comes up with to bring her back to Radley house.
GREAT chapter.
I never comment on stories. And I know this chapter came out so long ago
But how dare you make me think Cecilla was back.
Ahhhhhh. I'm super stoked to get a Dullahan. But my banshee wifu!
He is throwing away american beer, I think both of them should approve.
I think the worse crime for them would be to destroy Danas Flask that contains Water of Life
I love how your love for your characters and your attention to detail makes even these "intro" chapters into something interesting, something worth reading...
It feels a bit like someone crafting a miniature world (in my country, model trains and landscapes still are a thing) and adding interesting tidbits/little scenes here and there.
And, by you having placed some time in between this and the last chapter, it allows you to "say some new detail" for every known character, keeping also the old reader interested!
I loved the quiet pace of that chapter :)
Don't get me wrong: I like the waynyou write adventures and actions, but the peaceful moments where a breath of fresh air.
I was tempted to only give you 4 stars for this chapter, as Cecilla is one of my favourite characters and I don't like the thought of her missing. But on balance I did up it to 5 stars as I have faith you will make it right in the end ;)
My Spidey senses are sending out alarms with this new character, Sulyvahn, more trouble for Mike and his friends...
I love everything about this book, thank you very much for it's creation.
Thanks to your writings, some of my favorite fantasies have come true. There is something to be said about being able to explore sexuality with not just human, there's also Kitsune, Cat girl, cute little thick bottomed goblin girl, sexy succubus, loving and nurturing Water elemental spirit, a Banshee, Cyclops, female Centaur, a Naga, Fairies, and who knows what the future holds?
I am so excited to have found your books on Audible. I bought the Horny Monsters series as soon as I saw them, because it helped me get back to the story of Mike and his wonderful monster girls. It is awesome to start from the beginning to catch up on what was happening after Mike fought with The Society, that was where I last read the story here. You know life keep life-ing no matter what you want to do, so I stopped reading for some time. However, I am back because I see you have written more to the story line, and there are side stories as well. AWESOME! MY LADY KEEP LETTING YOUR LOVE OF THIS STORY FLOW? Thanks.
I’m on my third reading of the whole series. Was too excited the first time and missed a lot of little things. Picked up more second time, but still finding new things this go round. Highly recommend rereading to everyone!
After reading the scene with Naia and Mike, I was amused thinking that you just invented the haircut happy ending! I’m sure I’m not alone finding a haircut to be a sensual experience, and now I want my happy ending!
You continue to amaze me, even in retrospect. So glad the publishing seems to be going well. Very much deserved:))
