Good: I found the Cthulhu sex interesting. One thing I like about monster erotica is that it can add new and unique ways to portray sex. While I know the detachable dick, sucker fingers, and tentacles can scare off others, I found them really cool and hot.
Bad: Lack of chemistry between the characters. Very, VERY rushed romance. None of the characters are interesting.
Ugly: This book is advertised as "cute" and "heart melting". The author even describe the male lead as a "sweet cinnamon roll". So imagine my surprised when the male lead acts like a borderline rapist when he first encounters the female lead.
Listen I get it, there are people who are really into this "toxic alpha male" stuff. Fine, live your truth. However, I think it's fair for me not expect the cute cinnamon roll to "aggressively try to keep the heroine from escaping, threaten to stalk, actually stalk her, slutshame a random, etc"
It gets even worse when the book tries to address serious issues. Spoiler: The female lead had a toxic ex who pressured her into having anal sex. That's obviously bad. By why does the toxic ex gets the finger wag and not the male lead who literally was pressuring the woman to go out with him?
Honestly, is just a mess. You're promise a cute romcom and get a poorly handle message about sex violence and family enstrangment.
