Well, I will say, I did like the monster fucking. But I was a little disappointed that Moth has a human and a monster form, and spends most of this book in humanoid form, especially during the fucking. I think there was at least one moment when Heather talked him into fucking her as a monster? And that was pretty great 

It also had a good amount of smut, and some cute cozy cottagecore lesbians. 

I didn’t like the way Chris’s character was introduced almost as a love interest - and then quickly devolved into an annoyance - and then even more rapidly devolved into a deranged villain. I think this whole book would have been way better if he just wasn’t in it… although I understand why he was, and I guess it was nice to have some stakes in my smutty monster fucking novel…. Still. I could have done without the human nuisance. 

Mom was almost a villain herself, which I actually kind of liked. The theme of a girl being raised by a mommy-blogger growing up to be a little camera shy and dating a mythological monster was actually a good hook. 

Also, the ending was nice! I’m glad Heather gets to be a mothman too. This is what dreams are made of…
