Ratings and reviews
Ligula by Alair Novak is a unique, character-focused addition to The Colony Carnivale series that dives headfirst into monster romance! We follow Riptide (a kraken like sea monster) and Nautica (a siren), a couple who met back in the mid 1800s and joined the Carnivale to blend in and hide their true natures. Unlike previous installments that center heavily on the Carnivale's overarching chaos, this book functions more as a deeply personal, dark fantasy side story focusing on their intense love, survival struggles, and connection. The writing is lush and hypnotic, and the monster smut is hot, vivid, and unique (definitely mind the tentacles!). While the story leans into a tragic, heartbreaking ending rather than a traditional HEA, it delivers a snappy, emotional impact that stays with you long after the final page.
