Status Updates From Hot Monster Summer

Taking a romantasy break and diving into a monster romance because it's summer and that's apparently who I am now. ☀️👹💕 Peak genre choice. No notes. 100/10 vibes already. 📚✨

So far super cute

I’m into it ~ we love a reverse harem and a monster romance, they’re actually kinda sweet and cute and I wish it was happening to me

DNF. It's not a bad book, but it's so... surface level? Like there's no complexity to anything. It feels like token lip service to 'I'm a person, not a possession' but no conflicting feelings, nothing.
Although it is short, that doesn't mean it can't have compelling characters with emotional depth.

Oren, the forest troll character, is wholly original. Wow, what a creature. Swoon.

“When it comes, his touch is so gentle it almost tickles—fingertips brushing across my collarbone and down my arms, leaving trails of light in the moss beneath me and tiny flowers blooming in their wake.”

Give me a sweet, massive forest troll over a skinny fae prince any day! Oren has prepared a special place for his first date with Lily.

“The ground beneath our feet is carpeted with rich green moss that pulses with soft light in time with what feels like a heartbeat.”

I can't imagine anyone screwing their sister's fiancé nor could I imagine ever having a relationship with a sister who would do that!!
