Erotic Alien Invasion

This dystopian book contains a lot of action with the reptile invaders against the humans. There is more bizarre sexual action by the aliens against the human females. (Reminds me of Matt Shaw books).Narration was good. Recommend to anyone who enjoys erotic books over the usual dystopian books. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This is not so much a review as a warning

I listened to the first chapter of the book and thought it was great! Then, the second chapter turned into an extended sex scene between two of the protagonists. When I started the third chapter, it devolved into a gang rape/torture scene and I decided enough was enough.

I am not a prude, but I do think that books like this should inform potential readers/listeners that the book might be embarrassing to the listener when other people are around. Or, at least let the listener know that it includes graphic sex, including rape. I read the blurb and nothing in it warned me of this.

Might be OK for some readers/listeners, but I will not be finishing this book.

A thrilling, sexy read!

In the aftermath of World War III, a reptilian army emerges from the darkness of space to launch a ruthless campaign of conquest and genocide.

An enjoyable read that was made worth it by the narrator. Narration was good - I kept getting lost into the story.

Heavy on erotica, uneven story

Any additional comments?

Amazon categorizes this title as military/alien science fiction, but readers/listeners should be aware that it's erotica in a military/alien science fiction setting. Accordingly, this is a good pick if you're looking for descriptive (and sometimes non-consensual) sex scenes involving aliens and/or humans, with a loosely described alien invasion plot connecting the sex scenes. If you're looking for an alien invasion story, you might find that this one is creative and somewhat interesting, but rather light in terms of plot, character development, and so on.

I wasn't able to engage emotionally with any of the characters - which is acceptable (for me) when reading erotic fiction but less acceptable (for me) when reading science fiction. I suspect that your satisfaction with this story might depend on what type of fiction you're expecting.

I have no complaints about the narration, but that's possibly because I was a wee bit distracted figuring out whether to listen to the story as a science fiction fan or an erotica fan....

I provided my opinion in exchange for a complimentary audiobook from the author, narrator, and/or publisher.

Good book- great narration-- but not for me

Would you try another book from Amanda Close and/or Persephone Rose?

Yes---but I will look for less alien everything.

What about Persephone Rose’s performance did you like?

The narrator did a great job. I liked her performance very much.

Any additional comments?

I was voluntarily provided this free audio-book by the narrator in exchange for my honest review. This was not a bad story, I just couldn't get into the whole alien/human sex thing. Overall the story line was good, very sexual (with lizardy type aliens), I WILL look for other books by this narrator.
