I'm not ashamed to say it: Hot monster.

Pet, I mean, is hot, not the actual monster of the book.

But then we find out Pet is an angel, so double hot. And an angel that kills? Triple hot!!! A righteous angel that can eventually be reasoned with and see the good in letting humans learn to be better and do better without having to exact justice on behalf of victims without due process?! This is just gonna keep going, I have to stop myself now.
