"Beesteality" is totally the best thing about this book, and the author didn't even come up with that. Kudos to you!

And, huh. I guess feeder kink sort of makes sense with werebees, inasmuch as anything about werebees makes sense, but I had not expected that. OK then...

Are they still bee-sized? They seem to be full-sized men, but wouldn't this woman notice that they were all there?

This is rather critical information! XD (Maybe the author couldn't make up her mind?)

The sad thing is, this totally should've been so-bad-it's-good with a premise like that, but what are the odds of there being another, entertaining werebees erotica out there?

I suppose if one were to write feeder kink, this is at least a creative way to go about it?

It really should have been so-bad-it's-good. I'm very disappointed in this book! Worse, it's cooled me on the idea of reading the other were-animal ones (though I might read one, just to give some other author a chance).

How the hell did it get published?

Welcome to the world of self-publishing, when anything and everything can be "published". :/

Your reviews are absolutely brilliant. :D

Thank you! <3

I'm thinking about changing my LJ's name to "pulsing pride of prodigious, priapic pleasure" :P

LMAO!!

'Feeder' is a kink? Man, chalk up another one I don't understand. I can't eat half a brownie without feeling ill from sugar overload.

6 inches deep? Gods, a mop falls drastically short.

Of all creatures to have fantasies about, bees are tough. Bee sex is explosive - the drone phallus explodes. They die afterwards.

Also: so all that is ever seen of the town is Males? All Drones? Worker bees are all female. Seems like it would've kept with the theme better if Queen was fed by androgynous females (yikes, hipster werebees?) during the whole mess.

All in all - just wow. I hope you have something pleasant to read after all that. I hear a new Discworld novel just came out.

Hahah. THANK YOU. Of all the terribad things Thistle mentioned, this actually bugged me the most. :P

Ha! If I had known that going in, I would have twitched even more at this book. I had thought all drones were male.

tersa May 14 2014, 21:22:00 UTC

If I had known that going in...

You and the author both. :o)

And people pay money for this?

Maybe I ought to lower my standards, adopt a pseudonym, and write bad, alliterative porn.

I think I'd rather pull weeds.

Really, this was worse than a lot of the fanfic I used to have to screen for FictionAlley, and people paid for it.

thistle_chaser May 14 2014, 21:18:06 UTC

I know, right? It's 11 pages long (11! Not a typo!) and it cost $3. That's even worse than that slash series I was reading that cost $5/"book" and they were only like 20 pages long!

It only had two reviews on Amazon, so I can at least hope that not too many people bought it.
