Swallowing Water

by Siggy Shade

I summoned a water monster who says we’re soul mates. I know…it’s a lot to swallow…

To say I’m having a bad day is an understatement.

First, my scumbag ex turned me into an unwitting porn star. Then, when I confiscated his recording equipment, he doxed me. That’s when perverts started showing up at my house.

But they weren’t the only ones.

Lir, ruler of an ancient sea kingdom, came to me as an intense, sexy wall of water with slightly murderous tendencies, and he quickly proved he’d protect me by any means necessary.

And all he wanted in return was for me to be his. Forever. In Atlantis.

It’s a tempting offer. Especially since he can duplicate his, um, appendages for my pleasure.

But I can’t give up everything I’ve ever known to follow a supernatural being I just met into the ocean for all eternity. Can I?

SIGGY PLEASE💀 I read this for my TikTok but I have to say Siggy is always so creative. I wish I knew how they’re able to come up with this stuff.

Siggy really popped off with this quote ngl “You are a queen. A woman worthy of worship, and you will bow to no man—not even me.” PERIOD KING.

But then this quote happened. “I love the way your insides undulate around my cock.” He’s talking about peristalsis—muscle contractions the digestive system makes as food moves through its tract. My asshole clenches. Shit. Am I trying to digest his penis?”

And now I need grippy sock therapy.

Spice: 5/5

Siggy is great at writing out of the box erotic romance novels. Truly creative work. This is a great novel to read that will help you through any reading funk. A great plot with a firm ending and LOTS of spice. Great story!

wow!! i have sacrificed my mental health and brain cells to read yet another siggy shade book so my mutuals don't have to!! i ended up reading this in an hour and i am genuinely starting to believe that siggy shade really is a social experiment 😭 some of the stuff she wrote in here was so out of pocket and weird that i don't think someone could write that without doing it to troll. i'm not gonna go into details because i have people i know irl following me on here and i'd rather die than let them see what exactly i read 😭 all y'all need to know is that (1) the mmc is made out of water 💀, (2) the fmc accepts this a little too easily, (3) the mmc hid in the fmc's toilet bowl while she was peeing... (4) the mmc can change any part of his "body" to be whatever he wants (use your big brains to figure out what that implies). this is probably the most out of pocket thing siggy has ever written but i will continue to uphold my belief that she is absolutely camp and should continue doing whatever she wants. and although i was throughly traumatized by the contents of this book, i decided to read another siggy shade book after this, which i will NOT be putting anywhere near my profile (for the sake of my irl mutuals) but i will just tell y'all that it was the most normal thing siggy has written in her career 💗 also, thank you all for not dropping me like a hot potato while i was away and fighting for my life deep in the trenches of school 💗

Sometimes you start and book and realize you have zero idea what you’ve stumbled into…..and yet cannot stop reading it. This is one such book. Crazy premise…..crazy characters….hawt hawt kinky seriously imaginative smexy time. What a rush!

[Ciru · Rating 3 out of 5]

We have a Jonah situation, tentacles/many appendages situation and a K'uk'ulkan situation.

I appreciate the book being short and filthy as fuck.

I couldn't get over the thought of salt water couchie. Salt water vaginal abrasions.

I did not appreciate the copious mentions of Robert when Miranda+Lir were getting intimate. My revenge itch wasn't also fully scratched when it came to Miranda getting even/getting back at Robert.

Overall, an okay read. I would have loved reading more of Miranda+Lir in Atlantis, but i'm not signing up for an extended epilogue.

Miranda has had a string of REALLY bad luck. Her Etsy shop isn’t taking off, her boyfriend is selling videos of them having s3x online, and she has creepy dudes showing up at her door (scammed by the ex) claiming they paid for her “time.” 😵‍💫 She decides to kick him out and start over…that’s when 💩 really hits the fan.

While crying on the bathroom floor she accidentally summons a water demon and he is here to “take care” of ✨all✨ her problems. He says he will take care of her 🥵 and the creepy dudes 💀 as long as she promises to be his forever. Will she agree to live happily every after with the water demon and his duplicating appendages?!

This book was 👁️👄👁️. I cannot even describe it in words, wait yes I can: unhinged, chaotic, but sweet in a way? I will advise to please check all trigger warnings before you read. It’s a doozy.

There were parts in this book that really wowed me and made me want to love Lir (Mr. Water Demon), but then he basically gives her a full body colonoscopy and I was like EXCUSE ME WHAT?! 👀🫣 The writing felt a little campy at times and it made me almost DNF, but I’m glad I continued. It did end up being an interesting story. I gave the spice a 3 because while there was A LOT of it, it was mostly unhinged 🤣

But we love Siggy and know that is what they do best 🩷

[Gia Davis · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am so conflicted about this book. I don’t know if I can put into words how I feel, but we’re going to try.

So the general plot? Robert is a dick head, Miranda is a women who was taken advantage of. She finds out that she is actually the reincarnated queen of Atlantis and her king husband is a water man who lived in her toilet and let her wee on him.

Soon that changes and he becomes a water man & is literally a giant man made out of water. He can grow cocks left right and centre and at one point, his tongue is a cock & he fucks her mouth whilst simultaneously fucking her cooter & ass.

And if it wasn’t weird enough, at one point we get this:
- “When Lir said he would fuck me so deeply that I would taste his cum, I didn’t expect his cock to traverse my entire digestive tract.”
….. I’ll just let you sit on that one.

But overall Lir was a master at dirty talk and truly was destroying Miranda’s enemies and told her never to bow to any man, including himself. So for me, he was the 3 star rating x

Idk what I was expecting but I was certainly not expecting him to “traverse her digestive track”. It’s kind of a fun read though, just don’t read if you have a fear of water (coming to life) 😂

idc what yall say, this was good.

[Sheniece S · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was OKAY.. compared to other Siggy books, this one was a little lukewarm for me. The MMC is made entirely of water for most of the story and I’m still not clear about how he was summoned. Maybe I just didn’t find the appeal of that but it didn’t really do anything for me that he could manipulate water.

The backstory of the FMC was nice though. She was going through a legit terrible time with her bf and how things ended up for him was chefs kiss. He got what he deserved and to me that was the most satisfying part of this book.

I love these books because my imagination is vivid and they take me to a whole other place but with a little spice.

I would recommend caution when reading this story if you have PTSD with near drowning (as I do) because some scenes triggered me a little bit but nothing super serious.

SWALLOWING WATER

HERO /HEROINE:
Miranda finds out her boyfriend has been filming their kinky sex life and posting the videos online and using her identity to talk with all the horny men. She's pissed but also scared to get help the legal way.

Lir is the King of Atlantis. 12,000 years ago he was separated from his soulmate when Atlantis fell to the bottom of the sea, and now he's found her again and is ready to take her home.

REPRESENTATION: Monster Romance
“For everyone who likes it warm and wet and wriggling down their thighs.”

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
Absolutely unhinged, but it was very romantic that for 12000 years Lir sought out his soulmate. Every time she came to him as something different, but he remained hopeful that one day he would see her again at the perfect moment. Like he waited alone for 12000 years, invented countless ways to bring her home. How dreamy.

“You have come to me as a whale, a starfish, and even a seagull,” he says with a sad smile. “Sometimes I find you as a human, already drowned with your soul rising to the ether.”

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:
Unhinged sex scenes took me out but it wasn't too bad.

“More importantly this is the voice that moaned while I was having a piss.”

“Earlier, when I was on the toilet...”
My tongue darts out to lick my lips.
“Yes?” he asks, drawing out the syllable.
“Did you let me piss on you?”
“You should have seen the water cascade from your cunt. It was glorious.”
🤮🤮
“Did you…” I gulp.
“Did you put something in my water?”
“No,” he replies, his lips twitching.
Clenching my jaw, I rephrase my question.
“Did you replace my water with your cum?” He straightens.
“From this moment, I don’t want you drinking any water other than mine.”
🤮
This next example isn't gross, it's just scary as hell.
Lir’s cock that was in my colon eases out of my stomach and up my esophagus. One of his hands massages the flesh at the base of my neck, and I loosen my throat muscles. The cock pushes past my gag reflex and slides down my tongue.
“Good girl,” he says. “Now, give my cock a stroke.”
My jaw drops, and I choke around my mouthful. When Lir said he would fuck me so deeply that I would taste his cum, I didn’t expect his cock to traverse my entire digestive tract.
😰

FAVORITE QUOTES:
“You summoned me with your tears and then offered yourself up in sexual concourse. Our bargain is irrevocable.”

SAFETY

AGE:
Lir is over 12000 years old and Miranda is in her 20s

SEXUAL HISTORY:
Miranda was in a serious relationship right before the book picks up, and Lir has been celebrated for 12000 years

CONDOMS:
None

TUMMY BUTTERFLIES:
🦋 5 /5 it got gross and it's was very cartoony but still pretty hot in some of the scenes

“You like it when I stretch your pretty pussy with one of my water cocks?”

His cock moves upward, giving me an incredible sense of fullness on my left until I feel it close to my ribs.

PUSH/PULL:
Miranda for a little bit.

SEPARATION:
No

CHEATING:
No

OW (Other Woman)/OM (Other Man) drama:
Miranda's ex is absolutely gross and doxxed her details online. Random men started showing up to her home and tried assaulting her.

SEX SCENE WITH OW/OM:
No

POSSIBLE PET PEEVES/TRIGGERS:
Trigger warnings provided by the author. It is very much appreciated when authors let their readers know.

☆ 2.75 stars

Tropes
♡ Reincarnated Soulmates
♡ Vengeful ex

Overall:
Novella where Miranda's lowest point allows her to call upon her Atlantean soulmate, King Lir.

Feels:
Deep blue.

What I enjoyed:
- I didn't have any ideas or expectations going into the story, but a water man actually sounds pretty good?!
- They take no time getting intimately acquainted with each other. 🤣

What I didn’t enjoy:
- This poor girl and her horrible ex and the revenge p*rn situation. The rest of us don't have a Lir to escort us away from that kind of traumatic reality.
- I wished there was more description of how she knew that they knew each other in a previous life.
- The "digestive tract" scene was creative, but... a bit much for me. There was too much trying to figure out how and where he was. 😅

Favorite quotes:
"What do you want?" I whisper "Allow me to introduce myself. I am King Lir, ruler of the domain humans refer to as the Atlantic Ocean, and you are my queen."

"Maybe it's time I acted like a man. I should string this watery fucker along until I can escape." - Miranda

"I have looked into your soul... And it is a thing of beauty." - Lir

"You can't just make a statement and expect me to believe it... Especially when your actions say otherwise." - Miranda

"You are a queen. A woman worthy of worship, and you will bow to no man - not even me." - Lir

"Do soulmates ever reject each other because their skin is a diferent color? Or do they decide to break up for other superficial reasons?"
"Of course not."

Just when you thought it was safe to step back in the water, author Siggy Shade takes over once again and rocks your world. I swear these books get more creative and whacky with each one and I'm totally there for it! Miranda is our FMC and she's just found out that her boyfriend set up secret cameras and was not only recording their times together but posting them on the internet too. Of course, she's angry, I mean who wouldn't be and she locks him out and refuses to let him back in to get his computers and other equipment.

Seems like a normal story so far right? Well, it really isn't, especially when she starts hearing voices in the bathroom as she's taking a shower, and the water is doing things normal water shouldn't ever be doing.

Like I say I love these stories, they are whacky, borderline insane and very steamy. Can't wait to see what the author pulls out of the bag next.

Swallowing Water

Miranda finds out her ex was posting explicit content of her online without her permission, and then accidentally summons a water monster who claims he's her soul mate. Lir is the king of Atlantis and has finally found his mate, but she may take a little convincing to take him on.

Siggy Shade does odd fantasy/monster romances very well and really throws in some different ones that make you question your attraction to things. Lir has some fun appendages that help in the steamy scenes and I loved how Miranda reacted through the entire situation. It felt realistic rather than just a character in a smutty book.

I wasn't as thrilled with the flow of the book. It felt jumpy to me, going from one thing to the next fairly quickly and I didn't feel like it was paced out well. Some parts I was invested fully in, others I found myself skimming pages of what felt like useless filler information.

Very Interesting Fantasy Romance!!!

Review

This is my first Paranormal fantasy/monster steamy romance I have read of Siggy’s, I’ve read one of her contemporary ones and loved it. I definitely enjoyed reading this one too it was truly different than what I’m used to, especially with all the added appendages.

This is Miranda’s story and how she summoned a water monster after she found out her longtime boyfriend was recording their private moments and putting them online to scam money. Lir is the King of Atlantis and was sure he’d spend eternity alone, then he’s summoned by a beautiful woman who turns out to be his mate.

This book was very intriguing and different, full of kinks and steam with several appendages, there’s humor, danger, stalkers, unaliving, and a bunch more. After reading this I will be checking out more of her paranormal/fantasy/monster romances. Looking forward to reading her new stuff too.

So , i will do my best not to provide spoilers but try to be as vague as possible.shitty boyfriend has been filming 'fun times' without her knowledge . She has a breakdown and accidentally summons a water monster type being. Many different peens made from water - a lot of fun to be had.
I love siggys weird mind and even weirder stories. But......
I think I hit a limit here. 😂

(Vague spoiler)
There is one scene ......


I mean.... she just ate - surely everything inside just came out of her mouth ? 🤮 all I could think about was the taste and the mess 'that' would create. Surely everything that was inside would be pushed out of her mouth.

Did I carry on reading - yes , of course out of morbid curiosity. But did it do anything for me - hell no. Did it ruin my day - pretty much.
The pee drinking - not for me but I can skip it. But 'that" scene 🤢.

Will I still ready whatever siggy writes - of course. But please, please, please don't write 'that' again.

1.5 ⭐ Didn't work for me. I somehow managed to finish this cause I was expecting one specific ending scene with such a title (a willing erotic drowning in order to join Atlantis to be precise which would have been cathartic and meaningful given her thalassophobia). Blame my love for the Abyss movie from James Cameron for that...
Too many things were off putting for my taste: Having sex while knowing there are dead bodies in the next room, the heroine being the center of the world re "internet porn" (in real life unless you're a VIP nobody will realize 1+1=2 or give a damn even if they recognise you). Also that hero felt too much like a living dildo to be a soulmate, I never bought the connection they were supposed to have. I don't dig "revenge by torture" stories either even if the ex boyfriend deserved it. Despite all the water in here I finished this story feeling dirty and not in a sexy way.

[Helen Gray · Rating 5 out of 5]

Miranda receives an anonymous text with a link to a website asking if it was her. Following the link she discovers she has unwittingly become an internet star compliments of her boyfriend using hidden cameras to film and post their sexy time online. Upset, angry and afraid she goes to shower and the watery king of Atlansis appears claiming to be her soulmate. In equal parts sexy and protective, Miranda's life is about to change forever.
Siggy Shade's imagination knows no bounds! Short but not sweet this a great short story, heavy on steam but still giving a plot that delivers. Love the epilogue at the end and as usual the author helpfully gives a list of triggers at the beginning so there are no nasty surprises if you are affected by anything in this book. Another 5 star read from Siggy shade
