adventurous lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

4.0

So, this was the first ever why-choose I actually liked and it just figures it'd be monster p*rn. 

This book wasn't entirely what I expected tbh. I read the blurb (for once), I might have read the tags, but by the time I got around to reading it I forgot what they were, so I was a bit blindsided by the amount of sex and a gallery of supernatural sexual partners when I was expecting some light mystery and steamy romance. Not complaining though! The girl really do be living a dream.

I liked the FMC, she was quite shameless but could also enforce her boundaries without being bratty. Non-sexual boundaries that is, I don't think she had much of those in terms of sex heh. I liked all the men too, they had distinct personalities, botomless pockets, monster d*cks and worshipped the ground the FMC walked on - what's not to like. There was even some MM in between all that MMMFMM, just a tiny bit, don't get too excited. 

On the other hand, I wish there was more plot. What little there was, I liked, and some happenings started happening past 60% mark. The lack of buildup diminished my enjoyment of the early sex parts though. They were a bit dry without the emotional lubrication~ 

The way the book ended makes me hopeful for more plot in the next installments, even though they seem to be focused on different main characters.
