Don’t judge me but… I’m looking for a fantasy book about illithids/mindflayers – preferably a romance. Double-preferably a M/M romance. And yes, a romance with the illithid. I’ll take spicy or not-spicy, YA or adult. Dark and mysterious are great bonuses. My presumption is it’ll be a fantasy story given the existence of mindflayers but also open to thrillers/horror/sci-fi/paranormal/supernatural.
Or if not illithids strictly, something similarly monstrous, maybe with themes of the love interest sticking around despite how different they are and the challenges posed by those differences.
Before you ask: Yes, Baldur’s Gate 3 and the Emperor caused this interest.
