Comet Cruise
It's queer, kinky, and poly: the cosmic erotic tale you've been waiting for!
On August 5, 2126, passengers on the Comet Cruise, a luxury cosmic liner, will enjoy the spectacle of watching the comet Swift-Tuttle pass by. Having lived most of her life in a remote eco-village, Tallis eagerly volunteers to travel to space several weeks before the Passing to find her childhood friend who vanished aboard the famously sinful cruise.
As Tallis looks for her friend, she becomes swept up in the kinky, hedonistic lifestyle of the queer, poly passengers she meets, while secretly joining a group of passionate climate-activist crew members who seek her help planning their cyber-revolution. In both circles, Tallis finds playmates who delight in helping her explore her long-hidden kinks and fantasies.
But following her missing friend’s trail leads her to dark secrets and dangerous people. As the comet’s Passing Day gets closer, her two incongruous groups of lovers collide, and the turmoil that erupts will test their bonds and provoke consequences far beyond their imagination.
This erotica features safe and consensual kinky sex scenes between groups of two, three, and four people of various gender identities.

In case you didn’t read the book summary or cover, THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE. It is an erotic thriller/dystopian sci-fi tale.
This book was a RIDE. It was smutty AF and dealt with a mix of social justice issues in a not far distant future. The MC was engaging, manipulative, intelligent, and messed up. The other characters in the book were equally, if not often more so, messed up. It was safe kink and queer positive.
The plot was i-n-t-e-n-s-e. There were twists and turns throughout and I was not expecting the outcome of the book at all. Pacing, character development, and world building were all excellent.
My one small annoyance was that the author used some… weird lingo as a way of immersing the reader into a futuristic world. Wedging to describe sex? Not my fave.
Spice: 5/5
Triggers: addiction, cannibalism, confinement, death, drug use, fighting, injury, gore, mutilation, sexual abuse, suicide, terrorism, explosion, murder, death via ejection into space, trafficking, forced drugging, attempted SA, manipulation

ARC Book arrived last week and I could not put it down!
For a sci-fi, space-loving, polyamorous erotica fan - this book was the jackpot!
Niska surprised with an erotica that doesn’t hold back on its exploration of the kinkiest and wildest sexual fantasies - the first sex scene I had to go back and read twice it was so hot! - but also has written a story that’s beautifully described.
The scenery is amazingly vivid and their descriptions of surreal floating sex orgies and cavernous cruise ships hiding all kinds of dark secrets, is for me the reason why I loved this book so much.
Some erotica feels written in a hurry to get to the next sex scene, but Niska takes their time in the characters, the story and the strong themes behind it all.
Sexuality, consent, feminism, environmentalism, free exploration of kinks and fantasies, all in a world that is vividly described to the reader in a way that shows that the writer knows what they are talking about…
While there a too many characters I liked to mention them all, for me Raquel was the one that stood out the most. Wicked and spoilt and unapologetic in her fantasies, I couldn’t help falling a little in love with her the more I read.
All in all, I would 100% recommend this book to anyone looking for a feminist, conscious and hotttttttttttt erotica.
Watching for what this writer puts out next!

Wow guys! I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t that. This is a prime example of me signing up to read a book solely based on the tropes because I actually don’t recall reading a synopsis for this one until midway in. I was slightly confused by what genre this was supposed to be 😅.
I thought this was going to be a meet-cute romance on a space cruise with lots of spice and exploration of kinks and polyamorous relationships, but boy was I wrong. Not that it’s a bad thing and I found my mistake to be an intriguing surprise. It’s still smutty AF, but I would classify this as a dystopian space mystery/thriller.
For a debut novel, the writing was so impressively vivid that I felt like I was on an acid trip all throughout, so you can imagine what a wild ride of a book this was. This story will both turn you on but keep you at the edge of your seat most of the time. This novel also brings up a variety of different issues including social justice and environmentalism, while also educating readers about kinks and how to explore fantasies safely.
My only criticism is that there is a lot of futuristic slang but also foreign words that I had a bit of a time figuring out what they were supposed to mean, so I think this would benefit from having a glossary at the beginning of the book. Other than that, I’m looking forward to reading Niska Morrow’s future works.

Thank you to Niska for the ARC copy of her debut novel. All opinions are honest and my own
This book was totally different to my usual reads, falling into sci-fi / dystopian erotica. Morrow took real life concerns - such as climate change, capitalism, war, and refugees- and extrapolated them to the extreme. Putting these atrocities alongside the hedonistic debauchery and indulgences of the wealthy on the comet cruise was so jarring, exactly as it should be. The plot becomes darker and more complex as the book goes on, and I found myself thinking I'd worked it all out, to then be hit with another twist.
There was a great range of characters, with a range of sexualities, kinks, and gender identities. It was lovely to have these characters just existing without being a plot point. I loved how no character was (in my eyes at least) truly good- even our narrator made some questionable and self serving decisions, which made them all the more believable. I enjoyed the conflict the narrator feels between her relationships with the crew, and those with the passengers. I liked how these came together eventually, and tough choices were made.
Although I wouldn't describe this book as a 'romance' there were plenty of relationships which develop throughout the book, whether they're romantic in nature or purely sexual. The erotic elements of the book were well done, and I appreciated the discussions around boundaries, safety, and consent.
If you're a scifi fan then this is definitely worth a read! Releases on kindle March 15th, paperback available now!

I received this ARC book in exchange for honest reviews.
This book was a page turner with so many incredible elements to it. It was kinky erotica and it was also vivid world creation and multi dimensional characters.
Morrow’s descriptions of the cruise- the costumes, the parties and the rooms themselves were all exciting, sexy and visceral. They make you wish you were there yourself. I loved the stories within the story and the relationships that were built. Can’t wait to read what Morrow writes next

Was lucky enough to be given a Advanced Reader Copy of CC and wow did it deliver!
Unputdownable from beginning to end. Really treads the line between sci fi thriller and steamy erotica so you get the best of both worlds!
The characters are engaging, the pacing the excellent, and the world building always left me thinking about the book throughout the day.
And speaking of thinking about it throughout the day.... the sex scenes in this book are incredible.
Morrow has an great talent for painting scenes that are super complex but so easy to follow and as a result are super engaging, its honestly amazing. Especially when you consider that some of them take place in zero gravity!
Aside from all that, I really appreciate Morrow's discussion of queer sexuality and kink focused sex. You can really feel that she not only wants to deal with the topics but also use her work as an education for those who might not know the areas so well and I think thats so great.

The plot gets daker as the book moves forward and there are some well executed twists.

This book was so fun to read. Someone said lesbians in a space thriller and I was like WHERE?! If you’re thinking about reading this one you definitely should! Also it was super spicy but didn’t sacrifice plot! I love how they talk about being safe with each other every time they get into it cause I feel like a lot of the time consent is not always talked about in books. It feels silly that in a fluffy romance people would think consent would be cringy. ALSO, the cruise in space is a whole vibe and it’s awesome.

Wow. This was completely unexpected. It's not a romance, it's a dark sci-fi dystopian tale of twists and turns galore. I'm not usually a reader of these sort of books but it had me gripped and I enjoyed all the queer poly kinky smut too. It had me guessing until the end and what a ride.
The only reasons it's not a 5 stars is that I wasn't a fan of the storytelling, I skipped through those bits.

I was so so happy with this book! It was such a wild ride and the first book that I've read that had a character with Zir pronouns!!!!! it was such a free telling story of a queer experience with the queer characters part of the story there is no weirdness around them or queer sex scenes. This book was awesome

Big into the first half. It was fun and kinky and I loved the world building. I also enjoyed the stories that the MC told the supporting characters, but towards the end... I mean, I just wasn't expecting so much cannibalism in a smutty sci-fi.
What I loved about the book was that I actually learned how to non verbally check in with my partner. Excuse my ignorance if it already is, but the double squeeze during a scene should be commonplace! This takeaway alone made the whole book worth it!
I want some Raquel prequels!!

Niska Morrow’s Comet Cruise is an ambitious foray into the realm of erotic science fiction, blending queer, kinky, and polyamorous themes with a backdrop of interstellar mystery and environmental activism. While the book succeeds in many areas, it also left me with mixed feelings.
The story follows Tallis, an eco-village inhabitant thrust into the indulgent and libertine world of the Comet Cruise. As she searches for her lost friend, Tallis becomes entangled with a diverse group of passengers and crew, exploring her sexuality and navigating the complexities of polyamorous relationships. The vivid descriptions of the cosmic cruise ship and its hedonistic lifestyle are a highlight, transporting readers into a surreal, almost hallucinogenic space adventure.
One of the book’s strongest points is its commitment to portraying healthy kink and relationship dynamics. Consent is paramount in all interactions, and the depiction of various kinks is both respectful and educational. This is a refreshing and necessary approach in the genre, and Morrow handles it deftly.
However, the main character, Tallis, felt somewhat underdeveloped. Her interactions often seemed superficial, lacking the depth and complexity that would have made her journey more compelling. There were moments when her acceptance of situations, especially regarding her missing friend, felt too convenient and unchallenged, reducing the tension and stakes of the narrative.
Conversely, Raquel’s character arc was a standout. Her transformation from a spoiled brat to a multifaceted, endearing individual added a rich layer to the story. Raquel’s growth and the exploration of her fantasies were engaging and made the book worth reading.
The futuristic slang and unique terminology for genitalia and sex acts, while creative, were occasionally jarring. These terms sometimes pulled me out of the story as I struggled to connect with them, detracting from the immersive experience.
Overall, Comet Cruise is a bold and imaginative debut that excels in its portrayal of consent and kink-positive relationships. While the main protagonist's journey could have been deeper, and the language more accessible, the book offers an intriguing mix of erotica, mystery, and social commentary. I look forward to seeing how Niska Morrow evolves in her future works.

This is a completely explicit kink-filled polyamorous erotic sci-fi novel set in the future, and primarily in space. It's also a fantastic story of intrigue, mysterious disappearances, disappointment, capitalism, murder, redemption, forgiveness, and more.
You might think a book trying to do this much would poorly execute it, but no - I think this book did exceptionally well and I don't want to spoil it for anyone that it might resonate with. I simply couldn't put it down - I NEEDED ANSWERS! Where is this mysterious friend? What happened to them? WHAT IS GOING ON?! WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!?
And absolutely love witnessing the growth and character development in this book too.
I'm also going to mention that I'm typically someone that skips past the sex scenes in romance novels. But the scenes in this book were all SO intentional and well thought out, I actually read most of them - are they extremely smutty? Yes, but they're also filled with delightful mischief and playfulness, and ethical bdsm behaviour .
TW are clearly identified in the early pages, but I'm going to stick them here too:

What attracted me to this book: the cover and the tags (Gay Romance, Erotic Romance, Science Fiction Romance, Space Romance, Kinky Romance, Smut Romance, Polyamory, Queer Characters, Novels, and Debut)
What kept me reading: the quality of the writing, the intrigue, and how hot the sex scenes were!
Who I would recommend this book to: seriously anyone who loves a good erotic romance!
This book absolutely blew me away. I don't remember the last time I enjoyed reading a book as much as I did this one. It had everything I loved: sci-fi setting, cool and intriguing queer non-binary polyamory kinky characters, sooooo many ups and downs and emotional moments, a super diverse cast of characters where every one is completely distinct from each other, and an ending that got me guessing till the end. The ending!!!!! It was so hard to read but I really like that the author chose it. My heart...
Niska Morrow, please please pleaaaaaaaaaase write more! I want to read your next book today!
This was such a trip, it taught me that self-published weird and kinky books are where my heart is now haha <3. LOVE IT!

I was expecting this to be all smut, minimal plot. But my goodness was I wrong. This was like a space soap opera with a queer/poly cast. And I loved it.
Winter, our fierce but loveable main character has constructed a secret identity, Tallis, to get on board the comet cruise in order to find a childhood friend from her earth commune. She spends her time ingratiating herself to Raquel and Raquel’s friends because they were some of the last names passed on within the secret messages years ago. But Winter, aka Tallis, has no idea that she just put herself into the middle of the most complex intergalactic conspiracy you can imagine.
I was stunned silent multiple times during this book. I just not see some of these twists coming. The spice in this book is high, and the open discussions about consent before play and kink appreciation were welcome. There are a few triggers you need to be aware of if you are going to read this. Which you should…after making sure you'll be ok. I'll give you a hint….Donner, party of six. All in all a wonderful read.

3.5/5
Hot, interesting, and befuddling all at once.
Comet Cruise follows a polyfuckerous, covert agent who's snagged a ticket on an aristocratic stellar cruise. The ship itself is split between haves and exploited have-nots, and Tallis is navigating both worlds in order to find a missing member of their collective.
There are some interesting concepts, including drones somewhat reminiscent of Iain M. Banks' Culture series, and the collectives and their relation to broader society.
The book is pretty smutty, with a number of queer, kinky, and sometimes non/dubiously-consensual encounters taking place along the way of a thriller-ish plot.
Some of the slang took me out of the smut a bit, "wedging" in particular. I can understand the use of alternate terms for world-building purposes, but doing do for sexy terms is actually a bit distracting because the sentences can sound silly instead of hot.

I really enjoyed this book! It is a crossover between a thriller/ mystery story in space - and a little bit of spice. And it's exactly as fun as it sounds! <3
The author is really good at describing things in a way that really lets you "see" what she's writing about. That's something I love in a good writer.
