When you’re offered dinosaur erotica, you of course always say yes to reading it. Thank you to NetGalley for this unique opportunity.
✒️
Tanis has always been fascinated by the big dinosaurs. Dinosaurs has been revived and – like most things capitalism – integrated into the work force. Tanis, of course, meets the hero of the story – Big Al, the allosaurus, and they fall in love. But love isn’t easy, especially when it’s interspecies and Tanis’ dad doesn’t approve. Will their forbidden love survive?
📖
This book is the obvious choice for someone looking for a lighthearted, funny and fast read, if you don’t mind the erotica of course. Without really knowing the dinosaur erotica genre too well, I will also be honest and say I think it’s a good entry point to experience what the internet jokes about, without being too grim, because Big Al might be an allosaurus, but he sure is humanized in a lot of the book, so it doesn’t become too ghastly to read. And don’t let the cover fool you either – Big Al does have feathers in the book, even though they’re lacking on the cover. I will also recommend picking up the audiobook, because Katrina Medina does a phenomenal job with the voices and the storytelling in this book.
As mentioned, I don’t have a lot of experience with dinosaur erotica, but I feel like this book fit a whole lot of plot into the 175 pages it had. They surely got to work fast, while giving enough of a plotline to keep me entertained throughout the book while not being one long love fest for the characters. My first thought for this book was actually “too much plot in too little space” in this amazing world of dinosaurs and humans living side by side, but it works for the genre, because much more plot and explanations probably would’ve taken some of the humorous tone off the book.
Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer has intrigued me enough to maybe pick up other dinosaur erotica at some point in time, if I’m looking for an entertaining short read.

O-kay. . . I don't know how to review this.
I had an idea what I was getting into with just the description alone. Dinosaur Erotica. Says it all right?
Well this was beyond what I was expecting.
The non-smut plot/worldbuilding is actually intriguing - a population where dinosaurs have been revived and are capable of communication with humans, working alongside them is quite interesting. I could have listened to an entire story following just that for hours.
As for the spice. . . Holy Moley. It was a battle between outright laughter and complete confusion about the mechanics of some of the scenarios. There were times when I had to pause just to re-collect myself as the dinosaur/human ahem smexy stuff was outrageous. Honestly without the mention of his feathers or other dino features, I kept forgetting and was picturing Big Al as human.
Overall it was a fun listen, and I appreciated the chance to explore a genre I haven't read yet.

Well that was different. If you need something that will make you laugh with zero plot and some interesting spice this book might be for you. I think Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer is by far one of the strangest books I've read. I sort of feel like my brain is in wtf-did-I-just-read-mode.
Tanis is obsessed the the dinosaurs who work on her fathers ranch. Life quickly changes when she runs into Big Al (a sentient Allosaurus) in the barn and her father gets mad she's so close to him. Will Big Al kill her will he fuck her? Read and find out at your own risk.
The narrator, Katrina Medina, did an amazing job. I would listen to more books narrated by her.
HEA, Monster erotica, dinosaur erotica, monster romance
Definitely check the TW/CW before reading
2.5/5⭐️ for the book
