Feral Sins by Suzanne Wright
1.0
THIS BOOK WAS NEARLY 500 PAGES AND FOR WHAT!!!!
FOR WHATTTTT!!!
This wasn't just repetitive and obnoxious... I feel like someone dropped acid on my brain. My brain literally feels like mush. There wasn't a single good thing to be absorbed in this.
I knew this was erotica, and I knew this was a werewolf erotica written in the 2000's... I was expecting...everything. I guess. So I am not really surprised that:
The word ALPHA shows up 243 times.
The word mate shows up 500 times (literally beat SJM)
The word hussy shows up 28 times but it will feel like 500.
these counts are 100% accurate, you can look it up on kindle.
Have you ever seen those really cheesy porn videos? Where the pizza guy comes in to hangout instead of going back to work? Or when the plumber comes in to fix the sink and he ends up fixing her dry spell?
This was basically written to be a comedic shifter romance, so they crack a lot of jokes. A LOT of jokes. But they're 2000's jokes like: "If I wanted to hear from an ass, I'd fart" - this is actually in the book.
But we also get all the bad things from the 2000's, like Suzanne comparing two dumb wolves to: "mentally handicapped children" .
The sex scenes are atrocious. The dialogues have their groove and the first half does have it's merit on being silly and funny, but honestly, you're better off reading Zodiac Academy than this shit.
Yeah, I said that.
This is just...
And not the good kind. Not even the weird but fun monster kind. It's just uncomfortable. Because she is an alpha female, she doesn't like being dominated in bed, so every time they had sex (which was a lot of times) she would come up with a different stream of curses for him. One of those I will never forget, as she reached completion, she called him: a cock-smoking, shitfaced motherfucking piece of monkey shit.
I mean, I guess it's funny if you say it once, but if you say it ON ALL 220 sex scenes... it's not funny anymore. So the entire book went on like this:
I am an alpha and I will not be controlled, but then she allows him to fuck her, they fuck, she calls him names while she orgasms because it's basically happening "against her will", the word alpha appears 20 times, then the word mate appears another 20 times, then she makes very ableist, sexist and offensive joke and the cycle restarts.
You know what makes me even angrier? The fact that if 13 year old me read this book in 2010, it would probably have become my entire personality.
Thank FUCK we grow, and thank god time's change. We don't need to look back with nostalgia on every single thing we used to enjoy. It's okay to leave some things back in the 2000's, y'all should leave this book there too.
