I am wildly surprised, I actually really liked this?!?
I will say it is nowhere near perfect. Hell, its nowhere near good. This is trash and it was fun.
This takes AWHILE to get interesting. It is pretty slow until about the 50% mark when it finally finds its footing as a strange cozy romance fantasy. Mothman is actually super sweet and there are some great lines from him. Some really weird and fun ideas are thrown around but never really fleshed our.
And that is the main problem with this book. Nothing is fleshed out. The romance/relationship honestly don't make sense and doesn't have enough build up to it. Plot points just kind of happen without elaboration. Some really cool themes are brought up and then immediately dropped.
But if you just turn off your brain and enjoy this weird cryptid fan fiction for what it is, I think you'll have a great time.
Oh and so sorry to say that Mothman is in him "human" form for 90% of the book. The main character suggests that she would be down for some monster fucking but Mothman is uncomfortable with that and stays human for all the sex scenes. I would barely categorize him as a harpy.
