Interesting…
This one was definitely better than the first in the series. Smuttier, too. Even though Kittisak’s dialogue felt like a p*rnstar’s. Still pretty enjoyable!

The beginning was a bit tough for me to read because of technical stuffs flew over my head.
The thing is I think it safe to say that a storyline with The "Monster" was actually kind and sweet is a cliche trope because I've read this types of story before but, that's fine because I'm still gonna eat it up lol.
Also there's a lack of a horror elements in this story.
The only thing that made me enjoy reading this book was two of the mcs
Shu and kitty both are pretty sweet even there's not really a depth in their character.
The plot was a meh tho could've been a lot better, there is nothing really happened in the story.
Thank you Iman for letting me rant

Going in, I knew this story was not going to be dark or scary, thanks to the reviews of my mutuals. That helped me approach the story with a different frame of mind and no expectations of horror or dark romance.
I absolutely adored it. I caught myself smiling at many points in the story as Shu and Kitty's romance was so so sweet. I loved Kittisak's openness towards Shu in understanding him and his ways. He never looked at him as a monster and really with no fear.
Regarding the initial language barrier, I don't know why I found it so cute and loved how their communication became stronger as they spent more time together. Shu is the sweetest, most caring sea monster (Rife). It really gave Shape of Water vibes. They weren't only sweet together, but the sex was so hot and tender. Goodness, I love how creative K.L. Hiers was with that part of Shu's anatomy.
It was interesting to watch Kittisak build a life with Shu. I loved that they didn't have to be apart, and Kittisak was still able to keep his ties to his family.
Overall, this was a beautifully tender and sexy monster love story with amazing world-building as well. It is not dark/horror at all; if you do not go in with that expectation, you will enjoy.

Kittisak Amarin is not doing well in college. To earn extra credit and a passing grade, he joins his professor on an expedition in the Amazon to locate a bacteria that can science words some copper ore or something. What Kittisak (Kitty) finds is a hot humanoid amphibian creature.
Y'all. I was.. I mean. I read this and enjoyed it. It is surprisingly sweet considering Kitty gets it on like...A LOT...with a non-human humanoid creature. Shu is kind and takes care of Kitty. The world building of the Rife creatures is kinda fascinating.
That's it. That's the review. You'll love this if you're a monster fucker.
