I've read a couple of other GR reviews of this book, and found myself surprised. I went into this expecting to be both underwhelmed at the story and quality and taken aback by how unhinged it is. But no. This book, I am truly shocked to say, may be my favorite monster romance yet.
I loved this book. I loved the concept. I LOVED, I mean ADORED, the characters. I loved the romance. I laughed often. I was touched. Just about everything about it worked for me, and I really didn't think that would happen. I didn't think I would find every side character endearing by the end. That the book would be working toward a strange sort of interspecies polycule.
Don't get me wrong, there are some major content warnings to make for this romance. For one, the author plays real fast and loose with non-consent and dubious consent. The characters themselves, for example, reflect more than once on the fuck-or-die rape scenarios they end up enacting. For another thing, there is also a lot of sexually gendered slurs bandied about towards the FMC by the MMC. This gets addressed by the end of the book, though not necessarily to every reader's satisfaction, and either way, you have to put up with their heavy appearance through the first half of the book.
Still. I loved this. I'm going to buy a physical copy, and I can already tell this will be a comfort read for me. I just had a really great time, y'all. I really did.
