Super spicy monster "why choose" romance. Issues with grammar and syntax that I found a bit distracting, and a vagueness to the plot that left room for more. However, I had a fun time with it. If you like monster smut and cheesy holiday romances, this is worth the read. The characters, in my opinion, are too flat to have shown any real development. 

Check triggers (non-exhaustive list): Discussions of child abuse, stalking, endometriosis and infertily, fatphobia

I found them to be mostly mild, but definitely do not read if you hate the "magic heals infertility" trope (or skip the epilogue).

This book was simple and well thought out. I enjoyed the group dynamics between eachother and Mary as well. They had good banter and the spice was weird but well written. This book gets pretty dark but I think the subject is broached pretty well. This book is just kinda boring? Not sure how to accurately explain it but I felt it ends fast and a lot if loose ends are left untied as well.
