Mothman in Love #2

I'm Engaged to Mothman

Rate this book
Heather's cozy life with her cryptid boyfriend just got a little more complicated. When 23-year-old Heather started dating Mothman, she anticipated a few surprises. Getting transported to the faerie realm he was banished from? Yeah, that was a surprise. Heather was sure dating a forest monster meant she wouldn't have to impress his family, but faced with the royal court of Eclipsica, she realizes things might not be so simple. The former influencer must trade her quiet #cottagecore aesthetic for a lavish #royalcore week in a new world filled with creatures, ballgowns, and secrets. With Moth's family to impress, old friends resurfacing, and his memories returning, Heather begins to question their future. As the grand ball gets closer and Moth creeps out of bed in the middle of the night, Heather can't help but can their cozy cottage in the woods compete with a castle?

I think the fact that I read this book proves that I am, if nothing else, committed to the bit.

I suppose the first thing I should mention is that I respect the monsterf*cker community, but it is absolutely not my cup of tea.

Our FMC in this book is possibly one of the most insufferable characters in any book I have ever read (and I've read The Catcher in the Rye), Heather's past as an influencer causes her to think in hashtags and say/think things like "As if he isn't a total cinnamon roll!" and "It worked fine for 22 years until I yeeted myself off the internet." What does this tell me? Someone spent too much time on Tumblr in 2014. Her saving grace is that her opinion that everyone should work in the service industry at least once in their life is valid, and I agree.

Of this book specifically, my biggest quibble is that the plot is virtually nonexistent. The reader is forced into a half-developed fantasy world that, quite honestly, had some serious potential, but the author never fleshed it out. I've tried to figure out what the climax of the book is, and the only conclusion I can come to is the third-act breakup that we see at the 82% mark is the climax. Like most third-act breakups, it's fueled by a miscommunication trope.

My favorite character is the queen, whose consistent misunderstanding of Heather's millennial-speak provides the comedic relief that this book desperately needs. (She also turns out to be a Black Widow killer, further establishing her position as the best character in this series.)

I always appreciate a book with some realism, in this one, we have a non-binary character named Pepper. Additionally, we see the return of Heather's Hashimoto's Disease. This girl glutens herself, knowing the consequences she is bestowing upon herself. I know the author has Hashimoto's, but from my experience, people with Hashimoto's don't gluten themselves, and we see exactly why in the book when Heather has a flare-up. This just adds to Heather's insufferability.

Other honorable mentions from this book include the author having no idea what Gallipolis, OH and Point Pleasant, WV are like other than their connection to Mothman, Mothman's name being Death, Mothman canonically knowing the Cupid Shuffle, and the author waiting until the 92% mark for Mothman CNC.

Of course, I always take points off once I find too many typos. I found five. One of them being 'pantie'.

But wait! The bit isn't done! My morbid curiosity will only be satisfied next year, with the conclusion to this series. See y'all then!

We follow Heather and Moth once again through trials and tribulations, this time in Moth's home world of Eclipsia.

Honestly, I adored every second of this. Although our characters had their issues, something about this felt so cozy and domestic. There's this idea in the book world that once the couple are together, things get boring and we stop caring (I've certainly found myself guilty of this), but it just worked so well in this instance. Yes, they're together but they still have so much to learn about one another, especially given how fragmented Moth's past was. I loved the way Heather dealt with her issues, she tried her very hardest not to let anything get to her but she's only human after all, I find myself relating to her so much.

I'm giving this book a 5 compared to Book 1's 4 because while I didn't think this one was better than the last, it cemented this as a great series that I love and will continue to enjoy.

I can't wait for book 3 to come out, I'm so incredibly excited. I'm heavily invested in this story and I want to see how it ends (plus that Dual POV we've been promised is too good to resist)

I'm Engaged to Mothman was such an enjoyable read for me 🥰 This sequel takes place to the world of fae and other mystical beings. I had so much fun getting to know the new characters alongside our main characters. Heather and Moth, as always, are a delight to read about. While there had been some miscommunication between the two, it was resolved quickly. I adore them both so much and can't wait to read Moth's POV in the next book 💜

BOOK REVIEW 📚

Having read the first book a while back, I was excited when the second book was out! Here we join Moth and Heather after Book 1's events, where they have been transported to the fae realm, as they navigate the complexities of royal life, their relationship, and the gradual recovery of Moth's memories. While I did find some parts slightly predictable and the conflict (especially in relation to Holly) was resolved easily for my liking, I was still emotionally invested and eager to find out how it would end. 

As for the characters, I found Heather's and Moth's relationship to be quite endearing, as usual. However, their lack of communication and tendency to make assumptions about one another frustrated me greatly, as it was the root cause of their misunderstandings. At the same time, I can empathize with both sides, especially Heather, whose past and insecurities had a huge impact on how she perceived and felt about her surroundings. On the other hand, I strongly disliked Holly. I have never felt such strong emotions towards a character before, but damn did she anger me! As for the spicy scenes, it was relatively light. 

Lastly, to answer one of the author's questions, I think what surprised me the most was Moth's relationship history. I can see why and understand how Heather was uncomfortable in some situations, especially with how some of them were close in proximity to her. 

I WOULD RECOMMEND IF 📒

If you're looking for a cozy, cryptid romance that features themes such as "magic," "royal cottage core," "miscommunication," "primal play (chasing)," "found family," and "Halloween/festival vibes," then this is the book for you.

To be honest, the engagement takes place a little late in this book for it to be called "I'm engaged to mothman." If feels a little spoilery to be honest.

It took me a while to read this book - it was disrupted both my a move, and the fact that the series took a direction I wasn't anticipating. The first book, I'm love with Mothman was exactly what I was expecting - but in engaged to mothman, Moth's history and family are brought into play. I didnt expect this series to be about adjusting to court life, and so it took me a bit to readjust my expecting.

Despite the fact I did not binge read this book - I still really loved it. I liked watching Heather find her footing in a new world, and using her skills from one world to be successful in another. I liked seeing Moth adjust to his history, and how as a couple they navigate it. It was really funny to think about Mothman being a playboy, tbh.


This book is good at showcasing chronic illness (hashimodos) and mental health (PTSD) , and how it impacts day to do.

I reccomend this series!

Started this series as a joke, and I’m so sad to report that I actually really enjoy it (despite the amount of typos and the Mothman sex). It’s fun, sue me! It’s also rare that you get chronic illness rep with a FMC, even in more serious books, so shoutout to the author for giving some visibility to mentally ill girlies who also struggle with thyroid issues.

This second book was rather lackluster after the first book. The plot relies on Moth and Heather just not talking at all about their issues and that's one thing I hate in books. It made the entire book drag and while I'm still invested in their relationship, I'm not sure I'm here for the third book.

This is such a sweet and sexy continuation of Heather and Moth's romance.
I especially enjoyed seeing how Heather tried to take everything on, and eventually came to the conclusion that being a people pleaser doesn't suit her needs. I think she's going to grown even more in the third installment, and I'm excited to see if any other old flings from Moth's past pop up.

The main female character is horribly social media obsessed and has a very obnoxious influencer personality that makes this book a little annoying at times, BUT the story as a whole is so sweet you can't stop reading.

still great (i love u mothman) however it took a bit of an odd turn from the last book. we went from “girl goes off the grid and falls in love with a crytid in the woods” to a full on otherworldly fae fantasy realm lol. anyways i will be reading the 3rd book where they get married the second it comes out.

There’s something so nice about finishing a book with a giant smile on your face! These books are so flipping charming and cute. Cheesy? Yes. Moth’s voice in the audiobook a bit strange? Very much yes. But it’s the quirkiness that has me coming back! I really enjoyed the new adventure this book took us on, and I can’t wait for the Dual POV in book 3!! 🖤🦋

Simply adored the book.
Romantic , spicy, whimsical!
Such a beautiful & creative take on Mothman & his realm .
Heather is just so real & has such realistic reactions that makes me connect with her on a personal level .

The book touching LGBTQIA & chronic illness responses really made me connect also .

I really feel like heather & moth are my friends , I’m cheering them on .
Oh and spout is the star off the show obviously.
I cannot wait to read the next book.

2024 reads: 193/250

this is book two of the mothman in love series.

heather and moth have been stolen away to the faerie realm from which moth was banished. while getting to know his past, heather begins to question their future.

i really liked dipping into the faerie realm in this book! of course, it came with its problems: not all of moth’s family welcome heather, and she doesn’t have access to her medicine. i loved seeing how they worked through these issues and i can’t wait to see them again in book three!

I thoroughly enjoyed Paige's first book in the series "I'm In Love With The Mothman", so I was excited to see where the story would go next. And wow! With an incredible new world to explore, a wide variety of characters, and even spicier scenes, this book has everything you'd want in a sequel. I will definitely be looking out for the third book!

Is this series silly? Absolutely, but I think in the best way. Especially in book 2. And while I think it could benefit from a handful of edits, it has a lot of heart and is a fun read.

WOW! This sequel did not disappoint! I loved seeing the fae realm and learning all about Moth’s origins and family. The new characters introduced are just perfect. I am so glad that Heather is making more friends, and that they love her for who she is, weird human quirks and all. The story was super engaging, but the first half was just a tad slower than the second. Once I got past the halfway point, I devoured this book.

I absolutely adore Heather. She is a fierce and loving woman with a weakness for pretty ladies. She has confidence, but still suffers from moments of anxiety. She loves sparkly, poofy dresses, but eagerly runs barefoot through the forest. We don’t have all that much in common, but I see so much of myself in Heather, including her flaws. I also struggle to balance pleasing the people around me with taking care of myself. She makes me feel seen.

My only complaint is that I now have to wait until next year to see how Heather and Moth’s story will conclude. I am so excited to read from Moth’s perspective and get a glimpse into the inner workings of our broody dark prince.

Unfortunately DNFing this one for now.

Disappointingly, there just...wasn't much to pull me in here. At almost 1/3 in, there's virtually no plot and I grew impatient for something...anything...to happen in the story. The writing leans heavily on the reader remembering a lot from the first book, as character reintroductions and descriptions are almost entirely nonexistent. I was at a loss trying to remember what Moth looks like in his human form (other than that he has a great butt, which we are reminded of often, perhaps ad nauseum). Scene setting doesn't happen much either, leaving the reader with only the MC's messy inner dialog which fails to reflect much if any personal growth since the events of the first novel. If anything, she somehow seems more immature than before.

While there are a few cute fluffy moments, this sequel doesn't at all maintain the momentum of the first book, which I thought was generally good fun. A bit of a bummer, as I was excited for this one and really tried hard to get into it, but just couldn't.

Maybe I'll try this one again after rereading the first book someday, as it basically feels more like an epilogue.

This book was such a cool sequel to the first! I loved learning about Eclipsica and I want to learn more about the other courts! I love that it is essentially the fae version of the regency period. I love the outfits and all the extra of regency but with different genres of bug people.
I loved learning more about Moth and his origins, as well as his family. Heather seems more comfortable with her past as child of a mommy blogger and a big time influencer but, of course she still has her flaws which make her relatable.
All the characters have such beautiful descriptions, I would like to see what they look like! They are also all complex and unique, which is not always something you get with supporting characters. I love the layers behind Moth's family and friends, and how they are revealed as the book goes on.
In all, I absolutely loved this book, and I am hoping for more in this universe!.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

❗️Disclaimed: This review isn’t to tell the author that they are bad or not. This review is simply based on my own personal opinion of the book. I do suggest you give a book a chance before you form an opinions about it and decide whether you like it or not.❗️

This book kind of disappointing. I got to admit that I liked the first book ever. I did enjoy the vibes on this series and I loved the characters but I did feel like the characters here didn’t feel like the characters in the first book. First Heather became so immature in this book and her actions and dialogue became so annoying and cringy. The book didn’t really have any plot so I got bored and thought about dnfing a few times. I just wished there was something interesting happening. There’s also no character growth in the characters, in fact Heather became annoying to me which didn’t happen in the first book. Honestly I wish I liked this book better because I did enjoy the first one enough to read this one but this was not the case.

Absolutely adored and devoured this book. This was such a cozy and fun read that I did not want to put it down. We get to delve into Moth's past and meet his family. Though there seemed to be a lot left out still. This book could have definitely been longer if more details were added. I kept expecting a big bad to come out, but there was nothing. Some drama, yes, but no evil to fight. I kept thinking his sister or mom would turn out to be the bad guy, but as far as this book goes, they are both great. Heather gets to make new friends and really get to know Moth more. I honestly never want to leave this world. I love the romance between Moth and Heather. Their relationship is one everyone craves. There is a bit more spice in this book than the first, which I loved. We even get a good chase scene! I honestly can't wait to read the third book. This series has made me love mothman even more than I had before.

Everything was perfect! #cottagecorelife totally suited Heather and Moth! Happy and content with their little piece of the forest until they were summoned back into Moth’s home realm. Trading their crowns of flowers for crowns made out of real gold and jewels, being back brings memories Moth has long forgotten. A life he forgot he has ever had.

This book pushes Heather into the palace and she does deal with a lot of insecurities about her humble life compared to the old life Moth used to lead. The characters are still very much in love but it has been pushed to the test. We meet interesting side characters and explore complicated family trauma. I love the new setting so much and how magical everything felt. I can’t wait to read the next book ❤️ but I hope slightly less of miscommunication trope… it was a bit much for me

I have been looking forward to this book since I closed the last book, I even considered driving six hours to the Mothman festival just to get my hands on an early copy. So be warned this is viewed through very rose-colored glasses.

So I won’t lie, originally I thought Moth’s origins were a bit of a cop out; but the way that it was portrayed has made me a believer. I love Heather’s inner monologue, her anxieties and way of seeing the world make me feel seen. I appreciate that LaVoie does not divorce the modern world and needs from fantasy world. Over all I had a great time with this book 10/10 if you read the first and loved it, read the sequel. If you’ve not read the first and you love romance, fantasy, or Mothman go read the first one then read this one!

I adored the first book for its cosy, cabin in the woods vibes and really looked forward to the second one. I wanted to love this, I really, really wanted to love this. To the point where I’m tempted to read it again to make sure I didn’t miss anything…

The second book took an unexpected turn moving more into the fantasy realm and while enjoyable, I felt that it lacked character growth and compelling sub plots to make it more interesting. I didn’t remember Heather’s dialogue being so clunky and irritating in the first book. The miscommunication trope is not for me. It felt unnecessarily angsty and stupid.

I’m Engaged to Mothman was the perfect follow up to I’m In Love With Mothman!! I sped through this cozy monster romance and loved every minute. I loved the expansion of Heather and Moth’s world and I can’t wait to find out about Moth’s mysterious past. The spice level was perfect for me. I want my own sexy Moth fairy prince fiancé now!.

Didn't read the first one, but I didn't feel like I missed a whole lot.

I was looking for the Mothman prophecies, but found this instead and I can honestly say that this is probably the better read. It has everything.

-A female protagonist who only speaks in Millennial and has a RF

-A royal drama centered around betrayal, family relationships and intrigue

-Steamy Mothman on half human half moth action

If you are looking for a book answering the age old question of "how does it feel to be dicked down by a winged cryptid" this book is for you.
