This was absolutely incredible. A nice cozy monster romance with a solid helping of gore 😌.

The way the author writes the setting is incredible. You close your eyes, and you're exactly where she wants you to be - smelling the cookies, hearing the bells, it's all there. It was so easy to get wrapped up in.

The characters themselves were phenomenal. He wasn't a soft and fluffy monster, (okay he is literally fluffy), he actively hunts and eats people. Do they deserve it? Yeah. But still 😅.

Astrid is just a straight badass. Befriending the monster in the forest with cookies, killing people with an axe, and then some really freaking cool ice powers?? 10/10

There was a bit of a slow burn, but once it got going, it really freaking got going 👀👀. I loved this so much and can't wait to read it again, honestly.
