Life is tough when you're an eldritch abomination. Trillin isn't technically a person. She's a tiny breakaway piece of consciousness from the all-devouring Endless, doomed to eventually rejoin it. But when a human witch stumbles into her world, Trillin suddenly has a new reason to figure out individuality-one shape-shifting tentacle at a time. Sian is sure important magical discoveries are just around the corner, if she can just get her portals to work reliably. Reaching the dimension of the Endless without being eaten on sight is a dream come true, and Sian is determined to explore every bit of it. For science, of course, not for the strangely adorable life-form who keeps popping up and trying to... flirt? But Trillin's world can be a dangerous place, and keeping Sian safe might risk drawing the attention of the Endless itself-which will swallow Trillin up along with all her dreams of humanity. Together, can this unlikely duo escape the Endless, figure out the optimum number of appendages, and maybe even find love? ﻿How to Get a Girlfriend (When You're a Terrifying Monster) is a sweet F/F romance between a witch scientist and a shape-shifting Cthulhu monster. HEA guaranteed!

The writing is very descriptive, and there are really beautiful moments in here. The premise is fun and creative, and the readers are dropped immediately into the action of the story. My issue with it was the incredible amount of information that’s dumped into this tiny amount of pages in a very quick amount of time.

This was so charming. I cant wait to read more of this couple. I was fawning over Trillan discovering her identity. She was so embarrassed about not having bones! The elements of horror were so wonderfully written but still effortlessly adorable. Im a little bummed I have to wait so long for the next story but this novella does end with a moment of a happy ending, so it was still satisfying. 

I will say I was hoping for some spice (I mean tentacles and appendages were mentioned a lot) and there was a little bit of tension but it was a short, sweet story.
