I like the scenes - they aren't really stories, there's no conflict or resolution, beginning or end.

I'm just not sure where things are headed and there aren't any hints, so I feel like I'm meandering. I read these two books back to back and I feel like I've just read a quarter of a book before DNFing it and then doing the same to another book. I am always down for a Viola Grace story, but I kinda wish she'd focus on further development of some of her other series instead of starting a new one every few months.

Even before the pandemic, the idea of giving somebody a drink by taking the orange juice into your own mouth and then spitting it into theirs was fuckEven before the pandemic, the idea of giving somebody a drink by taking the orange juice into your own mouth and then spitting it into theirs was fucking disgusting. Now it's intolerable. I literally recoiled when I read this scene. Like the whole concept of sharing a drink that way is insanely gross, but that it's orange juice specifically bothers me because what on this god forsaken planet is worse than warm orange juice? If it's not a couple degrees away from forming ice crystals and turning into a slushy, it's garbage. "Oh so romantic, sitting on his lap, feeding each other breakfast, sucking on her fingertips, ooh la la, now spit that orange juice down my throat." Barf.
This isn't the first time her alien porn has made me flip my lid, won't be the last.

I tend to skip reviewing these books because a) there are so many of them, and b) you already know if you're interested or not - my review won't sway I tend to skip reviewing these books because a) there are so many of them, and b) you already know if you're interested or not - my review won't sway you.
But this one was really messed up. The author obviously lost her thread here and doesn't really manage to connect things very well. Things are moving along just fine and then suddenly it's like we're in a different book, the plot changes so drastically.
Aside from the dubious consent, we also get a scene reminiscent of the tree rape from the Evil Dead movie. No part of having sex with a tree is hot, especially not vines going up your hoohah. And then this creepy as hell graveyard kinda thing. It was horribly disjointed.
But the kicker is the fact that the author's explanations for how things are possible make no fucking sense. Plant splicing, being born from pods, etc. It could have easily made sense, but I feel like the author chose not to research it enough to form a coherent explanation. Though it's entirely likely that, since she releases 2 novellas every 2 weeks, she simply doesn't have time to research it.
This was probably my least favorite book of hers. It was kinda gross and poorly written. She can do way better.
