Oddly tame to me!

It was fine, but oddly tame. I guess when you have shapeshifters in play I expect something more adventurous. but the plot was solid, although stretched out, and the ending was not the best. the narration was pretty good I would say 3.5.

Waste

I love erotica, so that's not the problem. The problem is that this isn't erotica to me. But if you like repeated rape of a virgin by wolf-men wtih little-to-no negative reaction from the virgin, and little common sense in a book, then this book is for you.

story was bad narration was worse.

the story was clunky. the females were terribly written. the narration made all the male characters sound like children. if you'd told me that the male characters were a list boy scout troop I wouldn't have been surprised.

Ugh. Listened to this so you don't have to.

Short version, don't bother. Getting a refund despite it being only $3 -- because I refuse to pay for stuff that is not only completely phoning it in, but also does so for hours on end like any of this is interesting.

I've listened to plenty of great erotica with excellent plots, plenty more who skip out on plot and fine, if we all go in knowing that it's all good. I've listened to a lot of mediocre erotica (despite intentionally passing on entire sub-genres like "breeding the virgin babysitter step-sister's billionaire dog and knitting it a little sweater with the afterbirth"). I have a low bar for a pass. The bar is pretty much on the ground. You can trip over it and pass. This book manages to dig way, way below that.

Okay, so why not bother? Here goes:

If you go into this understanding the author has not had sex and is just pulling from other fanfics, you... will still be disappointed.

There are no werewolves in this book. There are a bunch of randy boys who mostly act like they're 8 years old with all the whining and moaning, and have about that much comprehension regarding things like anatomy or pregnancy ("You have to feed the baby by cumming inside the mother, that's how it works" lol WHAT). Yeah, these weenies can turn into wolves, but it has no bearing on the story whatsoever except for a couple to run around screaming "I'm the pack master!" "No me!" "Waaaaaaah!".

They're also an excuse for a lot of not-veiled-at-ALL racism against Indigenous people, because holy shit that is all over this book. "War Paint", hide tents (with wooden beds, chairs, full carpets and mattresses, rabbit cooked with rosemary and spices without trade with the outside world, it goes on), frequent mentions about how people living outside have to do so naked and are constantly filthy, dirty, etc, oof. My favourite line is "She looked down at her semen-encrusted thighs" because nobody camping in the woods for a couple of weeks can manage shit like hygeine, nevermind their entire lives.

You'll hate the main character immediately. There is absolutely nothing likeable about her. She has the spine of a sponge and is not even a doormat because doormats are vaguely useful. She meanders through the book with constantly conflicting vague notions of desires, and instead of making a choice she just tosses herself into a pile of boys to be raped.

There is no consensual sex in this book. But every time she also suddenly starts feeling aroused and so decides being raped is fine. Until it's over. She is also constantly surprised that she is raped despite it happening multiple times a day by the same fucking people. Lovely.

This is not sexy. At. All. (There are non-con and dub-con erotica books -- this is definitively NOT one of them.)

You get to enjoy a graphic, fully on-the-page D-I-Y abortion. I'll admit, that was a new one for me. Extra bottle of brain bleach please.

As mentioned by others, if you make a drinking game of the words "penis" and "vagina", you will die of alcohol poisoning. Bizarre terms show up now and then like "pleasure bed" (lol that was a new one there, too!) and in other places where parts have actual words, they're described in terms of vaginas and penises XD Vaginal lips, huh? Would those be... labia? Or perhaps vulva? Who fucking knows, her vag may actually talk and have an extra set of lips it screams so much.

I'm honestly not sure who is worse, the author or the "performer". There are a whole lot of words that make no sense that I think are the narrator's slips they never bothered to re-take, but I haven't (and won't) read the text. With the considerable thesaural carnage that already exists, it's entirely possible it's the author's.

Audio Narrator #73 I would like to remind that a character yelling (or in this case, speaking period) does not mean the NARRATOR YELLS. Don't listen to this wearing headphones, the sound levels are absolutely bonkers and most of it is the narrator screaming.

All characters are voiced as if they're 5 years old. We're not talking DD/lg play, just. A bunch of whiny kids. Whiny kids and grannies, because according to this author there are "fuckable" women, and then there are women who are gross and old like... 40. They have super saggy boobs and bellies and are safe from the serial rapist packmates because ewwww, FOURTY.

Wat.
