Overall, this book was delightfully goofy and really kinda sweet. Chapter 2, the first from The Nøkk's perspective, gets five stars on it's own. He lands in the US from Norway, and navigating the airport and Monster Customs was really well done and almost gave me Beetlejuice-esque undead bureaucracy vibes.

There's a lot of talk about accepting yourself as you truly are, and some felt more affecting than others. I have had some difficulties finding monster romance books that I can get on with, as the humor tends to be way over the top, but I felt the level here was just right for me. Genuinely amusing without making me roll my eyes once.

Up until 40-50%, I thought the whole book might be five stars, but the second half didn't quite maintain the same level as the first, but I still had a fun time. (Specifically, the

name reveal

was a bit of a letdown, and the non-epilogue 'bonus scene' was a bit bizarre.)

I hope that Brandon's friend Clay gets a book, but in either case, I could be easily persuaded to check out other books in this series. 

I kindly received a review copy from GRR; all opinions are my own.
