Seems to be sticking. Thank you!

Started... couldn't wait any longer :D

Another one that makes me feel like a monster, lol...

The premise and MC has a smile on my face, even as she kills people...

The MC is a monster, but for the most part they just hibernate in their lair until monster hunters show up like delivery food...

Reminds me of Dragon Lore...

Read the first 4 chapters / 1hr, so far...

The fact this is narrated by the narrator of the Lady Darby mystery series and the Verity Kent mystery series (both historical mysteries from Anna Lee Huber), is distracting me a little, lol... affecting the vibe :D

Zooming along, continuing to have fun... Chapter 25 / 50% now... the dynamics and plot trajectory are reminding me a bit of A Sorceress Comes to Call...

Chapter 38: Holy Moly... things keep happening... (view spoiler)[Shesheshen / Siobhan kills Homily's mother, only to find out Homily's mother was actually HER mother all along, faking a curse to explain the death of husband and wield power in human society...

THEN, when Shesheshen tries to confess her lies to Homily and love, it's actually Homily's younger sister in robes, and she gets knocked out with poison crossbow bolt...

THEN, Homily shows up, learns all the truths, including that the curse is fake, and has a bit of a mental break since her family has been mentally abusing her for years, and slits her sister's throat and is probably about to free Shesheshen...

I'm starting to think there might be hope for this messed up romance, lol... (hide spoiler)]

"We're going on an adventure"

Children of Ruin reference?

And done... what a book... exactly what I hoped it would be, in general terms... impossible to 100% predict, going in, from blurb alone and tags...

I hope everyone else enjoys as much as I did...

I read it last year and I loved it. I had the same reactions and it was very fun

Yea... by the end, it left me wanting more (view spoiler)[regarding raising a baby blobling...

Also the "pet" bear reminded me of Laken in Wandering Inn and his bear and bird companions... (hide spoiler)]

Yeah (view spoiler)[ I wouldn't say no to a sequel book or novella with a baby blob and their family drama.

Haven't read Wandering Inn, I am pretty intimidated... (hide spoiler)]
