The Toxic Relationship happened prier to the book, and the attempted sexual assault is NOT between the main characters.

I had heard about this for a while, and I was not disappointed! I was pleasantly surprised with how well this was written and the world-building for this alien romance. 

I love sweet, protective Ketahn. I didn't rate this a full 5 stars because I wish Ivy had talked to Ketahn about consent at some point, especially given her sexual history (past abusive boyfriend). I give Ketahn a little bit of break because he's a giant spider man with some strong basic instincts.

He "claims" her without explaining his feelings or how things work. She is attracted to him and enjoys it, but I wish there had been a conversation beforehand.

The smut didn’t start until 84% of the way through which, considering I was under the impression this was more smut than romance (my bad), was disappointing. I could see why it was set up that way but it was a bit disappointing. The ending had me enraptured though and I’m excited to see what happens in book 2.

I can't believe I'm going to admit this... I loved the book and fell in love with AN ALIEN SPIDER! But at the same time, it's normal since Ketahn is more human than many humans in real life and love interests in other books of different genres. It may also be because I have been introduced to the world of monster romance in the last year and have become an ardent fan of the genre. In conclusion, excellent storytelling is accompanied by an original and creative world, a perfect amount of spice at the right moments and lovable characters with ideal chemistry.

Inizio lento e non particolarmente avvincente fino al ritrovamento di Ivy, da lì in poi la storia si fa decisamente più interessante, soprattutto da quando

arrivano a poter comunicare tra loro facilmente

. 

Stavo meditando di dare a questo libro quattro stelle fino alla fine, visto il mio interesse nello sviluppo della relazione tra Ivy e il nostro alieno così somigliante a un ragno, ma il cliffhanger non mi soddisfa abbastanza da sentirmi di dare tale valutazione a questo libro, quindi mi tengo sulla parte più alta di 3 stelle.

*spongebob sitting in diner meme*

I'd like to introduce you to my first 5 star monster smut read. Insert *you're shocked??* audio.

Rating:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
🌶🌶🌶/5

This book is not a smutty novella. You get a legitimately good story, with properly developed characters in this one right here. It's the first book in a trilogy and I can say with absolute certainty that I'll be reading the other two. 

Is it spider-y? I mean, look at that cover. Yes. Arachnophobes steer clear. But if you've jumped in the blue alien d*ck pool, then give this one a spin next.

It's sweet. It's spicy. There's a whole political plot about what's going on with the ruler of the spider people and our spider MMC. It ticks all my boxes (some that I didn't know existed until now).

If you DO pick it up, some advice: stick through the very heavy and intense world building bit in the beginning. It gets easier, just get through it. Also CW for SA - it's not lengthy or particularly vivid, but Ivy (the FMC) has a traumatic past and it's shown in a flashback.
