Okay okay okay. To be honest, I thought I would never read this book. Originally, this was going everywhere on TikTok a couple of months ago through the book community. I thought, what a weird and silly concept, and put it out of my mind. Then, it came up on my feed gain about a new paperback release, with a stunning cover. I thought "Fuck it, I'll buy it for the cover alone." Then thought "Well... might at least try it out."

This is what I hoped for. Now, I'm not one of those people who are into alien/monster/creature spice, but I can see the appeal. I did read this just for the story (I know everyone says that, but it's true), to have a good laugh at a kind of ridiculous plot, and to see how it would go. I highly recommend if you don't want to read it for the spice, read it for the laughs. It's not even a cringe laugh, it is genuinely funny. From it's concept to it's characters, I was laughing through the whole thing.  I couldn't put it down. It's like The Room in the way that you can just have a good time with it (although it is WAY better written than The Room). If you don't take the content seriously, and know that you are going into a story where there is a human and an alien and spicy things happen, you will have an awesome time.

Now, to touch on the spice. It's pretty much your standard heterosexual spice, but with a guy who is 7 feet tall and has horns. Not my personal choice, but it is very well written (way better than 50 shades, which so far is the only comparison I have for heterosexual spice).

Is it the best book ever written? No. Did I have an amazing time? Yes. That's why it's getting 5 stars. For me, I don't rate based on a certain criteria. If I feel a book was a 3, I'll rate it a 3. If a book just slightly missed the mark, I'll rate as such. I had a fun time laughing and invested in the story. That's why it's getting a 5. 

And if any of the other books in the series are published with the same illustrator doing the cover and in paperback, sign me up for a copy!
