Ash’s anxiety and Lonan’s despair were contagious, infecting me more every page turn. I swear I was in danger of a cardiac event…. And it was superb.
Not a plot hole to be had. No questions left unanswered. Got closure for all my favorite supporting characters in this found family. Our bbz deserve EVERYTHING. All the good things.
This is top tier Lily. Yes I love all her books but this trilogy is so special.
I’m not kidding when I say this book will be my entire personality for the foreseeable future. And besides, those were warm up posts for this - my posI’m not kidding when I say this book will be my entire personality for the foreseeable future. And besides, those were warm up posts for this - my post read thoughts.
✨SUMMARY✨ Leia is jilted by her twat waffle boyfriend and goes on a solo cruise only to end up shipwrecked alone on a deserted island. Except it’s not actually deserted so much as isolated from the rest of the world and completely filled with beings from ancient Greek myth - most notably, monsters from 12 labors of Heracles.
Every single character was created with their own personality, way of talking, little quirks and traits that set them apart which is a feat in itself - I was NEVER confused about which human name belonged to which monster - and there was a lot!
The Monsters Ambrose - Nemean Lion aka Daddy Timyn - Hydra aka Brat Krysos - Golden Hind aka mischievous beauty Julius - Boar aka Grumpy dirty talker Vann - Kraken aka WHY AM I HERE?! Zephyr - Stymphalian Bird aka Murder Beak Phillipos - Centaur aka Why Do Humans?! Chamenos - Minotaur aka Sweet Baby Geryon- Giant aka Tantric Trauma Therapist 1 Orthrus- Hellhound aka Tantric Therapist 2 Ladon - Dragon aka Body Autonomy Master Cerberus - Hellhound aka Exhibitionist
This isn’t a RH read so much as it’s a large polycule of bi/pan monsters, some more possessive then others, with established relationships and MANY mated pairs. All of them are bonded in brotherhood, and some more, being mated to not only her but another in the group as well. The way they all lift each other up ...more
LOVED IT! So many thoughts so to prevent epic rambling… we’re gonna go with a SPEED SUMMARY ROUND!
Leia from NYC rooms with her *hilarious* niece IolaLOVED IT! So many thoughts so to prevent epic rambling… we’re gonna go with a SPEED SUMMARY ROUND!
Leia from NYC rooms with her *hilarious* niece Iola, who sends her off on a cruise after being jilted by her douche BF. She ends up ship wrecked on an island full of cursed monsters from Heracles 12 labors.
First she meets Ambrose, the sweetest caregiver ever, and then Timyn the shit stirrer.
Then we have Krysos, the golden boy who is beautiful and also the first love of Ambrose’s life though they are estranged.
Julius comes after that and he is an angry wary grumpasarus.
Vann shows up and he and Timyn are giving vibes.
All this to say, it’s crazy that there are SO MANY CHARACTERS introduced and I actually remember them all PERFECTLY. Including their true forms which I will not tell you ...more
What do I love more than platonic love within a polycule? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

This book was all about Peter Pan’s character arc and I was so here for it. It was not what I expected, a great twist and origin story, and I loved it.
To be honest, Hook and Roc were really the POVs I lived for though. They are hilarious and angsty and all the good things. I cannot wait for Devourer of Men. It’s gonna be epic. (I hope)
NEVER WANT THIS SERIES TO END OMGGGG If I had to be pick one quote to sum it all up, it’d be this one:
Somehow, the myth of Peter Pan has fallen in
NEVER WANT THIS SERIES TO END OMGGGG If I had to be pick one quote to sum it all up, it’d be this one:
Somehow, the myth of Peter Pan has fallen in love with a Darling girl and his three asshole friends. A different kind of love for each of them, but love just the same.”
Hook and Crocodile coming out of nowhere with that enemies-forced-to-work-together banter really elevated this little cutie. I love them the most....more
HOLY MOTHER OF DEMONS WAS THAT ENDING REAL LIFE?! I NEED THE NEXT BOOK NOOOOOOW

So so sooo warThis book was like being dumped into an ice bath and then plucked out and wrapped in a fuzzy blanket. Painful, viscerally - then comfy. So so sooo warm and fuzzy.
Blais’s journey from being at the end of his rope, to finding happiness again was everything I always knew I needed for him. I wanted to reach into the book and give him a hug.
The found family, as always in this universe, was IMPECCABLE. Sensational. Superb.
Toby and Blais’s D/s dynamic was done perfectly, from the beginning negotiations to the very end. 10/10.
But the funny thing about hate is the razor-thin line that separates it from something else entirely.

But the funny thing about hate is the razor-thin line that separates it from something else entirely.
I swear Green Creek and the Bennett Pack are going to be focal points at my therapy appointments for the rest of forever. Of all the books in this series, Ravensong is my least favorite - but that doesn’t mean it’s any less spectacular (or traumatic).
And absolute no regrets about that to be clear. Bring the trauma.
Gordo is the grumpiest and clearly there was history but finally getting the history ...more
I refuse to believe this wasn’t based on a true story. Nay, it’s an autobiography, Period.
Out of the Blue is a Male/Non-Binary human mer YA Romance. I refuse to believe this wasn’t based on a true story. Nay, it’s an autobiography, Period.
Out of the Blue is a Male/Non-Binary human mer YA Romance. Because of that I’m rating it from that perspective - of a teenaged stumbly YA mind. If it were adult it’d still be a solid three IMO. For example, the MCs do seem to equate physical attraction with love. But do I fault them for that? No. Because they’re teenagers and teenagers are hormonal dumb dumbs. It’s part of the whole growing up things and it’s AWESOME! As an adult? Annoying. Hard pass.
So… the fact both MCs stayed true to themselves despite outside pressure and hormones was refreshing - let’s be honest, is a feat in itself when you’re fighting a small centered world view and lack of experience. So BRAVO teenagers!!
