adored

I think I enjoyed this one so much more than the second! I loved the setting of Lau’s cozy little cottage. Picturing was it an absolute dream. I loved his personality stubborn, loves to bicker, but he secretly has such a sweet side. Ivy and him are so cute together. I also love that their name is Ivy and Lau is into herbal medicine. They just made such a cute fit together. Also Vari? Way to save the day! I was kinda irritated at his character at the beginning but I grew to adore him as well. Then actually pulling out facts and bringing them back together. Excited to read more by both authors.

Fantastic

I love this so freakin much. I wish I could read both of them again for the first time. Vari is hilarious! Ivy is perfect. And Lau is so fragile and hides it behind snark. I love these characters so much.

Can Moth and Lau be best friends?

Lily and Nikole noticed everyone’s obsession with Moth from the Monstrous series, and wrote us another affection-starved, white haired, elf-looking loner... And I for one am here for it. There’s some unique differences to Lau that are sweet, and his love story with Ivy is so endearing. We finally get to see why Pomeranians are terrifying in the demon world, what the human world thinks of Cody’s disappearance, and what the deal is with Black Oasis. Overall this was a fun read, and I LOVED the enby representation. Spice: 4/5 Angst: 2-3/5 (check TWs)
