My Thoughts:

Yep. You're seeing that correctly. I'm giving this human x kraken monster romance 5-fucking stars.

I want to start by saying that it's been a challenge lately to read/listen to a book and stay engaged the entire time, and I certainly was while listening to the audiobook of Treasure of the Abyss. Hence my 5-star rating. No, it is not some high brow story or award winning drama. And I KNOW FOR A FACT that this book is not for everyone. But if you're someone who saw The Shape of Water and thought "Um, yeah I might be down to f*ck a monster" or if you're slightly interested in how a human woman and a male Kraken would get it on, then saddle up because this book is for you.

Summary: The story takes place on another planet in a different galaxy, years into the future. Macy is a human on a settlement near an ocean. She is about to get engaged and is not very eager about the prospect. When she's on a boat with her suitor, they get caught in a storm and Macy almost drowns but is saved by a Kraken named Jax. Until that moment, no humans knew about the existence of Kraken, but Kraken have been aware and wary of humans for hundreds of years. To keep his species a secret, Jax tells Macy she is not allowed to return home and will stay with him indefinitely. A little bit of captive x captor vibes going on here.
