To me, this came off as a great romantic comedy with monsters and the macabre story. I was smiling to myself a whole bunch. Just happy giddy smiling through most of it. I loved all the characters in the house in the home and how they all work together. Definitely had a slight d&d feel to it with a characters and in the storytelling. It definitely kept me on my toes and I could not put it down. Felt like I wanted more from the side characters, facts, stories. I just didn't want it to end. I loved it. Sebastian and Dahlia's love story is definitely there. I love their chemistry. Love to their friendship. Spice was definitely there with some monster spice to it. Definitely highly recommend this was an advanced reader copy that I read.

First and foremost, thank you Lizzy for sending me this ARC....and even sending it a little earlier so my ADHD self could read it and review it before its publishing date lol
I have always had a love for paranormal romances, dark romances, as well as paranormal erotica. How to Marry a Lich covers all of those!!! While there is more than plenty of smut to keep us smutty good girls happy, there is also an exciting adventurous whirl wind of a plot that kept me on my toes worried about the intentions of every character as well ad worried about their safety as well. Every conversation had with Dahlia and Sebastian had me wondering who was going to help them and who had ill intent towards them. And when I thought I had the ending figured out...another twist.
The story, the main characters and the entire staff of lost things are so loveable and so wholesome. The curvy brat in me appreciates the body positivity and consent heavy inclusion of kink done right. There is nothing negative romanticized in this that shouldnt be. The love they have for each other is truly touching. I was bawling the last few chapters and so proud of everyone in here.
There are monsters and creatures of every sort, large gothic dresses and exotic gardens and inclusion of all mythical lores. The amount of inclusion in this book is so nice. This book had me gasping out loud, reading wide eyed with my jaw to the floor, had me laughing, smirking, and yelling cheers and support... so exhausting in the best way possible.
Thank you so much for this adventure Lizzy!!!
I can not wait for my next Lizzy Strong adventure!!!
