This book takes us away from Motham City proper and out to the fringes, in terms of both where the heroine lives and the place she occupies in society, and the Kraken involvement in Motham City. They sure are full of themselves! Thankfully Kai is a sweetie who's just trying to live up to expectations, and Luna pushes him to take a closer look at how the Kraken live - just as he pushes her to re-examine her prejudice against them.

There's more angst in the romance in this book, but also some more details on the history of human-monster interaction. Another good entry in this series and I'm eager to read the next one!

The Kracken Games is book 5 of the Motham City Monster series, a series of sweet and cozy monster romances. The Kracken games follows Kai the Kracken and Luna the human who are both competing in the Kracken Games.

I have really been enjoying the Motham City Monsters series and you had me sold at tentacles.
First of all I loved Kai, he was such a sweetheart, I enjoyed his backstory.
And I really don’t like saying this, but I didn’t really like Luna, I totally empathise with her backstory and why she was the way she was and I tried really hard to like her but I just couldn’t. But in saying that I know some readers will love her, this is just my personal opinion.
Overall the story was good, a quick, fun, sweet and cozy read with some sensitive topics, so be mindful of that.

If you love cozy monsters romances you will enjoy this, did I mention TENTACLES!

wow that was a whirlwind- kraken games which other monsters fight to best a kraken and luna enters for her area as a way to find answers for her dead parents and lost brother
kai was so sweet and caring and honestly luna kinda smacked him down a lot, very grumpy/sunshine- the resolution was great, found the brother, toppled a patriarchy, and the ended up together on land & sea!!

overall: 4/5
spice: 3/5

This was an interesting read. I really liked the characters, they both had been through difficult times, Luna just wanted answers to her past and Kai wanted to prove himself to be a strong male.

They were great together and so good for each other. I loved Luna's sass and Kai's devotion.
