Completely bananapants monster erotica romance. The world-building within the Victorian period is captivating as are the different monsters the author creates. There is a mystery, a heroine in peril, and adventure. Bonus points for the discussions of consent throughout. Where the book falls just a little short for me is the feeling of repetition within the plot; there is room to shave a few scenes and that might have tightened things up. Otherwise, an engaging and steamy read.

This is a super soft Victorian era monster reverse harem romance and it’s SO GOOD. The pacing and world building are cool, the FMC is really likeable and sex positive and the spice is super spicy. There is one scene with dubious consent and there are more than a few plot-driven scenes that are scary - please check the content warnings.
