So this was incredible, as the previous books are!
I do feel like this book was kind of strangely written. Both Faunus and Mayumi are very short and to the point in their thoughts. I felt it was a bit jarring at the start of the book but I think I settled into it especially by the end. Reyne often writes in this way, I feel it was just amplified in the early parts of the book due to the characters. That's why I've had to take off 0.25. I feel like the first half needed some smoothing or something. I also felt that Mayumi finding monsters hot came across very suddenly.
This book had one of the best third acts I've ever read. The fight scenes were was so well choreographed I could picture exactly what was happening. Same with the sex scenes which GOOD GOD were the spiciest I've read. Mayumi is so hot too like her fighting is so sexy!
You definitely need to read this book if you were that person who loved watching hentai but couldn't deal with the non consent.
Contains:
A lot of 💦💦💦💦 like a lot a lot
She finds monsters hot 🔥
? Childhood friends to lovers if the childhood friend is a monster who rescues you and then kind of stalks you until you're well into adulthood.
