--Liked how it's POV is different, not just with a guy narrating but the monster as well.
--Lily doesn't come off all that well tho, more like a try hard full of desperation to be unique and special. But that describes a lot of people, teens and adults alike. She's also got the naive sheltered outlook of a child. Okay so spot on but no less annoying.
--Very tense and suspenseful. The reveals went off without a hitch.
--I'm curious about the next book but I wonder how Lilly's narration is going to work out since she came off...dull.
--Instalove. Meh. I didn't really get the attraction. Lilly's hot and cold and I can see being wary of him. Is it being forbidden bad boy? Yeah, don't get it. Dude is clearly losing it and sexually attracted to her but he had to fake things in common. but the suspense and Dude losing grip on his monstrosity and gaining humanity kept me going.
--Loved how mermaids were dark and unDisneyfied. I love the creatures but with them stagnating in Kiddy Cartoonland, I've outgrown them with rare exceptions like this one.
