Monster Whisperer: Second Class
by Nobilis Reed
Listen, sometimes sci-fi romance gets a little weird and Monster Whisperer: Second Class gets more than just a little weird. But what's a little tentacles among friends?
Being a reader of romance, I'm not exactly new to the world of smut. These things generally come in different shades of burn: Fast or Slow. Slow can be anything from a clean read, to a feisty kiss, to a smut scene toward the end. Fast burn usually means there are multiple sex scenes throughout the book and it doesn't quite take that long for the MC to jump into bed with someone.
And while I wouldn't really call this a romance, it's the closest comparison to the level of smut because this book takes Fast Burn to the extreme, in fact the very first scene is on page.. 2 or 3 where the main character who is training to become a monster handler gets a crash course in what it means to being these monsters desired prey. (Which means submissive and a touch of fear)
It's a little wacky story where these monster creatures have the power to jump instantly through space, and somehow they really like having sex with humans. I got the impression that the sex actually fed them and their powers, but it was never explicitly stated. It was more of an "this is how we bribe these amazingly powerful creatures to work for us".
It's not pure erotica, but it's pretty darn close. There is a plot there where the MC have a romance life (outside the monster fucking), and there's drama there. And there's a war to prevent, and people trying to sabotage the mission. But mostly it's Sandra Tevins getting laid.
I wanted more though, I wanted the story to go slower and give me more information. She was being trained in these monsters, learning about their habits, preferences and habitats. I wanted more of that instead they kind of glossed over it and just threw in the sex scenes.
It's the closest thing I've ever had to pure erotica on my kindle. And if that is what you want, this could be a fun read (Tho I wish there were bigger differences between the sex scenes since they were with different creatures). And while it was fairly well written, if you cut out said smut, the story you get is a fairly thin one.
