Listen. If you are not a fan of cliff hangers or when your favorite author drops bombshells on you, then just wait for her to release all the books in the series and read them then. I knew she wasn't finished writing this series, but here I am... glutton for punishment.
If you have never read the works of Joel Sue Burkhart, I highly advise to start with Their Vampire Queen series and some of her other work. The Dinosauros Series is ... a leap into science fiction and paranormal fantasy romance and erotica. This is a whole new world of reading for me, but she's one of my favorites. I liked the book, but I prefer her vampires. I don't feel like there was a whole lot of plot until the last few chapters leading unto the unreleased Dynosauros Book 3. And then there it was, the ill fated cliffhanger. These works are what I consider quick reads, but to each its own. Either way, support your favorite authors no what what.
Happy reading!

Hmm, still interesting and somewhat unique. But this book was the interlude in the plot. A lot of it was also on repeat and could have been edited.
- I.e. How many times will she notice that his tentacles are not metallic or slimey? I didn't count but I'm pretty sure it's every time they touched her.
Still, I was interested to see what happened, even if the breeding was what really got me icked. Her reaction was better than most of these women in books like these, but still, not a fan.
It has a lot less poly than promised. Practically none.

3.75. Okay okay, I am way more invested than I thought I would be. The first book is way smuttier in my opinion and this one was actually more interesting. I know- shocker. And another cliffy (darn good one too) so I have to wait until the next book is released. And I am oddly ok with proceeding with the series!
Not a lot of highlights but a few humorous moments:
“I wasn’t sure whether Snryx’s tentacle things or Lohr’s giant tongue would win out in the “Alien Anatomy That Freaks Natalie Out the Most” category.”
Lohr squicks me out, especially when you find out more about that giant tongue! But these are such nice guys that its like "aw, shucks, sure I guess you can screw me". LOL

So this was basically just really OTT monster porn. I read it all, but I was gagging at a couple points. It was the kind of fascinated reading that was like ... not being able to look away from a train wreck.
This author tends to be kind of OTT with the smuttery, but this was just way beyond for me. Like, snake aliens with penis tongues and everyone just sliming their cum, drool, and/or cum-that-is-drool all over the place. It just was gooey and gross.
There's vague hints to a story - why did their team leader basically send them all AWOL and attack them, why did the evil scientists decide to terminate the squad - but no progress is made and this is the end of book 2. We have the same vague questions with no more info that we had in book 1.
I think this one just isn't for me.

Second part of this series, so weird. SO SO SOOOOO weird. Won't be reading the last one. I never read a more random scene than when the alien-robot-dinosaur eats her. I'm still confused.

I had so many hopes for this book to be better, to be the one to not have me roll my eyes twenty thousand times, but it wasn't the one

I'm still pleasantly surprised by how interesting the world building and story is in a series I expected to just be monster smut. I sacrificed sleep. It was a Friday night; but, still, I had no choice but to get up and make a cheesecake 4 hours after I forced myself to set down book 3.
Yes, book 3, because I finished this around 2am and made bad life choices. I'm not looking for your judgment. There are no regrets.
