Book Review: Claimed By The Cthulhu by Wendi Gogh

 

Book Description

MONSTER SPEED DATING—sounds fun, right?
Except my life as a marine biologist takes a slippery turn when I mistake a cthulhu for an octopus, only to find him seated across from me on date night.

Now, every time I turn around, he’s there.

Watching.

Winking.

Waiting until I succumb to his charm.

But I’m not ready for love. I have my studies, a mission to save the ocean, and a secret darker than the deepest depths of the sea.

Will Chaos claim me as his, or will I run from him like everyone else in my life?


My Review

Do you like a fun monster romance? If you answered yes, then I have the perfect book for you because this was so much fun!

Chaos is a Cthulhu and a scientist who is looking for a cure for his people so they don't have to keep suffering through the spawning instinct that they can't fight each year. Monsters are known, they are out and humans know about them. 

Marea and Chaos run into each other in the water and she thinks he might be an octopus but things get spicy between them right away. Marea thinks she won't run into Chaos again but when she goes to a monster speed dating outing with her friend, Chaos is there and he's not letting Marea get away this time. 

Along with the fun romance there's also some very deep, heavy topics going on with some of the secondary characters including child loss, spousal loss, and some scientific findings to help his people. 

But the romance between Chaos and Marea was so funny and spicy at times that I found myself laughing at them. He's such a great character and he's so sweet, I just loved him so much. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
