The Curious Incident of the Great Cookie Snackcident of 979 by Kass O'Shire
5.0
This book has got everything. It is cozy, friends to lovers, workplace romance, steamy, and features a demi-sexual heroine and a non-binary shadow monster ... What else could you possibly need??
Abi. WEEEEE I LOVE ABI. I related a lot to her, and I loved that her and Senkas love language was food. I loved the interactions with her and Senka, and how she responded to Senkas innocent but also sometimes dirty questions. Abi was a good girl indeed.
Senka. WHAT A GOOD BEAN. I want to protect them at all costs. The fact they are the ones that called a snack accident a Snackcident.... stole my heart so quickly! They are just so good, so wholesome, so full of love. Even with them being the sweetest bean, they also pulled out some of the best dirty talk (Torsten still reigns supreme but it is really close) and they really know how to use their shadow tentacles.
"“Abi,” they whispered, drawing out her name in a tease. “I’ll ask you again, do I make you nervous?” Abi shook her head, her cheek impacting the top of their head. “No, not nervous.” “Not nervous ... interesting.” Their lips brushed against the shell of Abi’s ear as they spoke, sending shivers through her. “Do I excite you then, is that what this means? Does your blood race when I touch you? Are these wee gasping breaths for me?” Abi whimpered."
P.S I am still LOVING the footnotes, they seem to be getting better and better. They really save me and answer questions I have before I have too long to wonder.

A Soul to Protect by Opal Reyne

THIS BOOK!!!!!!
This book really took me by surprise. I really have loved all the books in the series, but I have not felt kinship with characters like this since A Soul to Touch. I just love them so much.
Nathair. WHAT NOODLE, WHAT A BABY, WHAT A GUY!!! He is soft, he protect, he STRONG, HE IS LONG!!! I also desperately want to protect him whenever he is hurting. When he realized that Linh could hear his thoughts, I wanted to just wrap him up and tell him everything will be okay. He is so hard on himself, and I am so happy he found love for himself and Linh throughout the book.
"His heart ached to shield her from the world even more than he did before. To not only protect her from others, but from the parasitic wounds on herself. He could not fight them for her; they were not his battle to face. However, he could be her armour, her sword, and her steed, fighting alongside her until she claimed victory.
Maybe she could save him in return somehow."
Linh. Linh was so strong, and so caring. I really loved how she treated Nathair. She just had so much love and care, and I loved how easily Linh and Nathair teased and joked with each other. I respected how honest she was with her feelings, even when it felt difficult. It proved her strength over and over. She was also a needy girl, just like me. Who doesn't love a little attention?
“Your body is so needy for pleasure, little female. You slither and contort around me so easily, like you’re hungrily sucking me within you for more. You get so tight, like you don’t want to let go of me. You look
absolutely beautiful breaking apart for me.” He removed his hand from on top of hers and cupped the side of her face.
