Acsquidentally In Love by K.L. Hiers
2.0
I mean, tentacles and bad puns, how could I resist?
This was...fine. Really it's one of those books where a bunch of small niggling gripes combined to drop it below a three-star (average) read for me. There are some consent issues at play here (though we're still well in the realm of consentacles -- these were other issues) and I can be fine with that when the author is aware, but the author didn't always seem to be aware. This is also a world where gods are real, but there are competing systems of belief/competing pantheons, I think the way Hiers deals with this, especially around Milo's conversion, is a little icky. Like: I prefer the suggested D&D approach of allowing atheists in a world full of gods, because just because they exist doesn't mean they're worthy of worship, you know?
Also I hate it when characters loudly and publicly discuss the details of their sex lives (which Loch does repeatedly over Sloane's objections) so...a lot of personal nos here for me. But they are personal. If you don't have my specific issues and want to read about tentacle sex, this will do the trick.
