This is by FAR the spiciest book I've ever read, I knew it was going to potentially be out of my comfort zone, but the characters intrigued me, and a gangster/urban fantasy crossover caught my eye. The plot was fast paced and gripping, and I really got into the characters! For all the description of Tolly (the merfolk) as being like a Disney prince, I found that best friend Alvin with his pure romantic heart in the face of his upbringing probably fit that description better, and yet I loved his line saying that no, he doesn't believe in love at first sight. He does believe in lust at first sight, but that love can still follow after.
Look, I am an asexual reader with limits to what I can vicariously put myself through, but I read this monster fucker book right to the end, and happily, to see the characters live happily ever after. (And yes, if the tail is out, he's not strictly human, that would definitely fall under a monster fucker heading in my book!)
