Thane is a POS and I'm so annoyed with this book. Catalina deserves so much better than his dumb ass. I understand that he's going through loss and grief but that doesn't give him the right to be neglectful and borderline abusive towards Catalina. Thane takes too long to start treating Catalina right in my opinion, and it's frustrating as hell.
I don't think book was long enough to address the trauma that Catalina has gone through or the grief that Thane is dealing with. Because of the short length of the book, Thane is an asshole and selfish for 60% - 70% of the book, so basically for most of the book.
He's so carelessthat he ends up giving Catalina "The Bends" at the start of the book. He then locks her in a tower for weeks on end, leaving her in isolation.
For those few weeks she was only fed bread by the tower/kitchen workers because they thought she was purposefully being neglected by Thane and they wanted to follow in his footsteps.
Even though both characters discuss not wanting children, Catalina gets pregnant because he doesn't think about using any form of contraception. Up until the 70% mark, Thane has sexual encounters with Catalina and then he always leaves right afterwards. Leaving her feeling rejected, neglected, and used (like all the other people in her life have already made her feel.)
I would say that this book has an okay amount of spice. I really want more spice in my monster erotica! I would rate this 3 🌶️ chilies/ out of 5🌶️ chilies.
Overall this book was really frustrating but the smut was okay so I'm giving it 3 stars out of 5.

It was boring... spice wasn't that great even though it was tentacles. I forgot it wasn't a slow-burn kind of book though so that's my bad.
