3.0

This story wasn’t bad, it was enjoyable but incredibly predictable. I have an annotation around 19% of the book where I guessed the plot reveal. I kept on reading because I was still curious, but when the end proved me right, I was really underwhelmed.

2.0

2 stars because I did find some enjoyment while laughing at the absurdity of this book. But realistically, it should be 1 star.

The blurb gives this book so much potential and the concept really was compelling, but the execution was not good. I didn't like the writing in this book and the sex scenes were strange. Lots of references to insects and sea creatures. I'll include some of my favorite, laughable quotes:

• "Being this close to him makes my pussy feel like it’s full of bees, their buzzing causing sticky sweet honey to leak from the honeycomb. I like watching men bathe in that honey as it coats their mouths and chins."
• "He thrusts inside of me like a runaway train hitting the side of a mountain."
• "Tiny spiders of pleasure scuttle across my nervous system."
• "As my pussy becomes wetter from his cock entering and exiting, he slides toward my anus. It’s stimulated until it pulses like a little sea anemone trying to catch prey."
• "His tongue is like a trident puncturing me with torturous pleasure."
• "His cock is an electric eel bringing me to Bride of Frankenstein life."

The other problem for me was my lack of care for the characters. I found them pretty unlikeable and I didn't have any connection to them.
