This book isn’t terrible but it’s so boring. I found the character’s logic to not make any sense. The logistics behind his flames were confused. They were cold flames, except for when he burned through paper and clothes, and when Pen was around him she only felt warmth. Huh? 

The instalove was extreme. Really low spice for a monster romance. Also, I just pictured a man with blue surrounding him. I want my monsters to be unique and horrific.
