voodoocactus's review of How to Get the Girl (And Not Destroy the World) (And Not Destroy the World) (Monster Girlfriend #3) 3/5: Time for time loops! After fleeing the twisted HEA universe, Sian and Trillin end up back in Sian’s world except that they enter a time loop only Sian remembers–until they make it back to Sian’s university and learn what’s really going on. This book loops back (hehe) to the first book and the Endless who neither forgot nor forgave the one who got away from it…except that it has? Sort of? Anyhoo, this felt more rushed and scattered than the previous books and sometimes it was a bit hard to follow what was going on. The author managed to tie up all the loose ends eventually and the trilogy...

Monster girlfriend book 3 was a bit weaker than the first two books but still an enjoyable read.

voodoocactus's review of How to Get a Date with the Evil Queen (Monster Girlfriend, #2) 4/5: This book takes a turn to way darker waters than book 1 would ever imply. Sian and Trilin end up in a world ruled by a rogue spell with a perverted, twisted compulsion for a HEA, sucking the world dry of magic and controlling the people and their emotions to act the part they’re assigned. Sian and Trillin say fuck no and fuck you and…well. There’s quite a lot of introspection in this; who am I and what am I, do my intentions or actions define me, can I change, and what about the people around me? Many good questions and while some get answered, there’s ambiguity to the ending which I liked...

Monster girlfriend book 2 was darker but still a very enjoyable read.

voodoocactus's review of How to Get a Girlfriend (When You're a Terrifying Monster) (When You're a Terrifying Monster) (Monster Girlfriend, #1) 4/5: What a charming book! Trillin is adorable in her determination to figure out being an individual and then being enraptured by the strange, attractive human who stumbles into her world and turns her life upside down, while Sian’s neurospicy one-track-mind is both amusing and exasperating. Together with the smol bit of Endless that Sian snatches up (look, it’s fluffy? like a bunny but with too many teeth and approximately six pairs of eyes?) they flee, only to draw the Endless after them. We have a magical university with uncomfortable spells that beg to question just how they were constructe...

Monster Girlfriend, book 1 was a fun read
