Ranyk and his sister Sckiik are from the planet Rildj. They live and work on Earth. Well, Ranyk sorta does since he does terraforming of planets, so he’s not around all that much. Sckiik is some kind of secret agent protecting the Rildj Ambassador from being assassinated.

This is a confusing book that travels at warp speed. It’s hard to keep up with the snappy dialogue and the various plots going on don’t seem to have much in common. The science is boring to me, there’s very little background, so I was kinda just dropped into the story and I just couldn’t get into it. Maybe at some point I’ll give this another go, but not any time soon.

Years ago the Kahlotah helped a group of people from the Nazahpas defect to their lands where they now call themselves Anonlah. They live peacefully in Kahlotah lands even though many of the Kahlotah people resent the sacrifice of their men in battle when they helped the Anaonlah defect. Many years have passed and Gideon and his Band of Brothers have come under the attention of Nemmin, the Kahlotah Chief Captain. He has a job offer for Gideon and his Brothers, to guard the Princess Aliya when the King travels to Nazahpas lands to negotiate another treaty. However, when Gideon and Aliya meet there is something more going on that neither understand. The Whisperings tell Gideon she’s the One and Aliya is doing her best to avoid touching him despite the overwhelming urge to do so. Both are unsure what their gifts are trying to tell them and those who know aren’t talking. Will they figure it all out in time to prevent tragedy?

It took me a bit to figure out the world in this YA Fantasy, but once I did I fell into it only to surface occasionally when the characters uttered current slang which sounded wrong for this richly detailed world. Gideon is a wonderful hero. I love him. Aliya is a snobbish rich beyotch and I could not stand her for most of the book. I could and yet I couldn’t understand her loyalty to her dumbass boyfriend, Zaeron. Wow. What a douchebag that guy is and yet Aliya puts up with him. I find it hard to believe a Princess would allow a lowly guard treat her the way he does. Anyway, there’s also some mysterious goings on behind the scenes to pique my interest, but then there’s a cliffhanger. Grrr! Overall though this is a lovely clean romance set in a fantasy world.

Emily shakes the dust of a small North Carolina town off her feet and heads to L.A. to make it big. Instead she meets up with a smarmy hot guy and ends up doing porn with a kraken. Every little girl’s dream.

No. Just, no. I cannot express how bad this story is. First, the writing is horrible. My kids did better when they were in middle school. Verb tenses and narrative flip flop more than a freshly landed fish. Repetition is a constant, like herpes. Second, the characters are flat. No depth at all to them and Emily is unlikeable. Third, the plot is barely there. No, I take that back. There really is no plot. And the conclusion had me absently scratching my ass, trying to figure out dafuq I had just read.

Just because this is monster porn, does not mean it can’t be well-written. Or, at the very least, amusing! This is dog shit on the bottom of your shoe, easy to pick up, hard to scrape off. My pervy followers, do not waste your time on this one. I threw myself down on it and sacrificed precious neurons in my brain so that you would survive. You’re welcome.

Bree’s best friend Misha needed a tenth student to make the anthropology field trip a possibility. A week in the wilds of the hot and humid Yucatan looking for the mysterious pack of Chupacabra wasn’t her idea of fun, but for Misha she’d do just about anything, so she agreed to go. Typical of just about any group there are asshats and non-asshats. One can only hope the Chupacabra are real and the asshats end up à la Friday the 13^th.

Put hot college students together and what do you get? Bickering and sex. Add in some mystical monsters and what do you get? Mayhem and monster sex. This story is fairly well-written. It could use a final polish since there are some awkwardly worded sentences, but overall it’s pretty good. It’s got a bit of Friday the 13^th seasoned with monster movie horror followed by lots and lots of sex. The sex scenes aren’t as detailed as they could be, but still hot. And yay for Chupacabra sex! These poor guys are so horny and they really don’t live up to the fearsome reputation that precedes them. I like the idea that the monster is supposed to be evil and foul, but is actually quite gentle. I hope there will be more coming. Um, stories. Stories coming.

Megan and her best friend Amanda are in a group of foreign exchange students in England. When the group goes on a field trip to Stonehenge something strange happens and they end up going back in time to when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Megan and Amanda come across some velociraptors and they realize these aren’t just any dinosaurs. They’re oh, so horny, dinosaurs.

This story is not very well-written. The characters have zero depth and the group of college kids are stereotypical. Megan and Amanda are complete ditzes and when they eat some wacky berries, (because it’s good to just chow down on unknown plants and shit) they end up having sex with velociraptors. Or did they? Was it all part of the hallucination? Was it dinosaurs, cavemen or some guys from their own group? I have no idea, but the idea of getting it on with a dinosaur of any kind is just too weird. Hello?! Multiple razor-sharp teeth! Huge ass claws! And the hornysaurs use both of those all over their bodies as well as pumping their dinococks into them until they spew cum like “thick bits of warm slime…” *shudder* And.They.Love.It! Idiots. Yeah. Wacky berries or not that is so not happening. Moving on…
