This book...I cannot even explain how much I adored it. The playful friendship between Ellis and Styx, leading to an epic claiming...all the while with little sprinklings of Ellis learning to love himself and let himself love, too...it was just too perfect for words. The way Fae wrote Styx was just honestly masterful. It was clear from the very start that he was not human, and all throughout and up to the end, that was reinforced. But just because he wasn't human, that didn't mean he didn't have a personality. He was so delighted as he learned everything about Ellis, and the way he teased and treasured him was so goddamn sweet I wanted to die. This book was just such a cozy, adorable read with a nice bit of spice at the end, and I just loved it.

THERE'S A MONSTER IN THE WOODS was such a beautiful novella and I loved how poignantly Fae Quin wrote about loneliness and what it means to finally find acceptance and companionship. I loved Ellis and really felt like I could relate to his character -- from his desire to avoid people, to his awkward social skills, to his comfort around animals and nature. Styx is a more mysterious character and without this POV we only learn a little bit about him, but it's obvious that he's also alone like Ellis. Together they make a sweet couple and I liked the slower pace of their ""courtship"". After reading this, I'm really looking forward to reading more by this author.

Cute book, a wild ride in a good way. I was confused like 60% of the time but i still enjoyed it. I don't know if it was intentional, but the autism coded character made my heart all warm, good rep.
