Dark Migration (The Dark Season, Book 1) by Adrian Blue
⭐⭐⭐ 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Dark * Fantasy * Paranormal * Monsters * Non-Con * SA * Horror * Canadian Geese (deserving their own trigger warning) * 19 pages
Let me preface this properly: this one is DARK. Like, turn-the-lights-off-and-then-throw-the-lamp-away dark. This is peak feral WTF energy in novella form. Monster romance, zero consent, and vibes that scream "you should probably check every trigger ever before touching this". Proceed only if your soul is unbothered and your sanity is flexible.
Adrian actually sets the scene beautifully at first. Our FMC, Sarah, arrives at her fishing cabin on the lake, quiet, peaceful, serene. Then...cue ominous honking...we hear Canadian geese migrating south. And right there, I knew. This story was not going to end well.
Because here’s the first thing: geese migrate well before lakes freeze solid enough for ice fishing cabins, which means the timeline is already nonsense. But sure, let’s pretend this is normal for the sake of the story.
Second, if you’ve never had the privilege of meeting Canada Geese, let me enlighten you. Up here in Canada we call them many things: Cobra Chickens, Flying Rats, Honkers, Canadian Jerks, Sky Carp, Swamp Donkeys, Honking Assholes… the list goes on. This is also why Canadians are so polite, we've perfected funneling all our rage into these MFing feathered menaces.
Back to the plot. Sarah hears a massive "thump" on the ice. And like every horror movie victim ever, she goes outside to investigate. She discovers a HUGE, red-eyed, bird-like monstrosity that looks like a demon goose from hell. She runs back inside. It breaks into the cabin. She gets knocked unconscious.
When she wakes up… yeah. Things happen. Bad things. Monster goose does its thing, then once satisfied, flies off south with the rest of them migrating.
And that’s basically the entire 19-page story. Oh...important detail! Despite being horrified, Sarah watches it leave and… hopes it comes back next migration! I can only assume there’s some kind of magical addictive quality to its cum...because otherwise... Ma’am???
That’s it. That’s the story. Yes I'm slightly terrified of geese, you would be too if you've had them chase you.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I mean, it jumped right into the...honestly, I don't even want to call it sexy times because it was a little, erm, rougher (let's say) than I like my fictional sexy times. But I can also absolutely appreciate the idea that something monstrous and primal isn't going to really care about making sure their partner is all in. Or whether they're fully enjoying themselves, I guess. Although Sarah did (maybe?) enjoy it. Enough, you know, to think about whether the beast will swing by her isolated lake again next year during its migration.
On a slightly unrelated note, how does one even explain the complete destruction of the fishing shack to their family? Like "Hey, a giant bird monster busted in and we bonked. Sorry about the shack." That's just a weirdly awkward conversation waiting to happen.

Why would a bird monster want to rape a human?

No. Just no. I’m done with life. Thank you, Adrian Blue.

Terrible
I think the author should only be asking .10 cents for 10 minutes worth of this rubbish. Was this written by some sex crazed teen in middle school? The sex wasn’t even that great. It only last 2 pumps from him then done?!?!? Do better. Not worth the money at all. If you got kindle unlimited and you can’t resist to read it, borrow it. Awful.

Beastiality Rape book
This is a book about a person icefishing, and then suddenly she gets attacked and raped by a monster goose. Yes, it actually is that bad.

Was bored, and kindle recommended it. I don’t know what I was expecting… I wish I could erase this experience.

For 19 pages, this short story demonstrates the author's adept use of language to set the stage for an erotic, adventure for one young lady. I loved some of the first descriptions setting the scene and tone of the story. In addition, a few other authors could take tips from Mr. Blue about publishing a perfect copy of his story.
However, Mr. Blue wrote the story in first person, which I feel caused it to lose some of its power, if instead it had been written in third person omniscient. As well as, upon arriving to the salacious juncture, the story again lost even more strength. The scenes were obligatory and quite tame. Just as he had used quality language techniques to draw the reader into the story, he could have employed his genius usage of evocative words within this section.
And then the ending was lame. Mr. Blue's effort went from extraordinary to mediocre to blah. A "who cares" ending. An epilogue would have worked better, showing the shock of the girl upon birthing her own hybrid baby. Something that left the reader also wondering about future ramifications, in a more substantial manner than this ending did.

Terminata la lettura mi sono chiesta cosa avessi appena letto.
Partiamo dal presupposto che non avevo letto la trama nè i trigger warnings. Perciò quando mi sono ritrovata a leggere una scena spicy tra una ragazza e un'oca sono rimasta sconvolta. E si, so che c'è un uccello disegnato in copertina, ma a mia discolpa pensavo fosse un uccello mutaforma.
Invece è un uccello con un uccello.
Il mio cervello sta ancora faticando a processare quello che ho letto.
Rileggendo i trigger ho anche notato la presenza del non-con, trope che non amo particolarmente ma che perlomeno qui è stato breve.
Quello che come al solito mi colpisce dell'autrice è la scrittura. In 19 pagine è riuscita a delineare l'ambientazione, ad introdurre brevemente la protagonista e ad inserire una scena spicy che se escludiamo il non-con fa mangiare la polvere a tante sue colleghe.
Gradirei se in futuro limitasse l'uso del trope, per il resto il libro è approvato.

Sarah heads up to her family’s cabin to go icefishing, expecting the quiet. But when a monstrous creature comes to claim her, she will learn just how alone she truly is out there on the lake.
Okay. Well. I always knew geese were evil. I’m not really sure what I just read, but yeah. It gets straight to the point – she’s out, all alone at her family’s cabin, she sees some geese, a giant monster goose breaks in and claims her. I almost wish there was more background into what it actually was and whether or not its an actual monster (like the binesi of Native American folklore). Maybe if this had been just a little bit longer I would’ve been totally cool with it. But as it stands, it’s okay.
Actual Rating: 2.5

She is an ice fisher and is set up on the ice in the middle of a lake. A weird looking bird sees her and comes right for her. Taring through her fishing shack to get to her. It b@ngs her and as it leaves (not even looking back at her), she can’t help but pine after it, hoping it’ll return next year.

Spicy monster fantasy with suspense! Great!
I would’ve loved to have had a little bit more (maybe an epilogue) - or an even a lot more, it’s spicy monster fantasy with suspense! This was well written, it held my interest from the start, and my only complaint is that it ended too quickly. :)
The trigger warnings are the reason I’m here, in the world of dark fiction world today. Glad I found this author - I’m getting the next book in the series now.

2.00/5.00 overall rating
4.00/5.00 spice rating
Tropes/Kinks: goose monster, mf, NC
Thoughts:
This is not a romance, I fail to see where that is in any of these pages.
The fact that the Goose monster hybrid looked at her with displeasure after everything and flew away without a single caring touch didn’t do it for me. That is a sentence I never thought I would type. Glad I read the second installment first as I probably wouldn’t have continued.

Adrian is one of my go to authors for when I need to get out of a slump.
The quick, spicy reads are usually human x monster and are the perfect level of dark.
Keep in mind, these are DARK monster romances. Make sure you’re comfy with the content before proceeding!

Something pretending to be a goose but not quite hitting the mark.

Something scary is coming your way!! 🪿
It's migrating season girlies!! Be scared, a little horny and confused! 🦆
Honestly, this one went by so quick I didn't have time to question my life choices. 🐦⬛
Also check triggers at the front of the book.

I’m never disappointed by an Adrian Blue story. Know that a lot of these stories are VERY short and to the point. They also aren’t anywhere near what you’d consider as a traditional romance…..or even necessarily romantic. BUT they do have spice and ladies who do tend to want more when it’s all over.

Very Dark
I have learned that not all comments, and yes I read the comments first, are true or contradictory to the story. Well, in this instance it was true. Some of them were true. This is the first time with this author and I am hesitant about reading more. Probably should not have started with this book. Anyway I didn’t like it. Don’t recommend.

I don't know how I fell into this sort of genre. Maybe it's a character flaw, because OMG this story is a horror. I finished it anyway and was really sorry that I did. Thankfully it was short.
Honestly, it's yucky as all get-out. There's just nothing titillating about a woman getting painfully assaulted by a giant migratory bird. I wanted to shower afterwards.

Wasn't feeling this, for multiple reasons. The spice wasn't spicy in my opinion. The situation surrounding the actual 🔥 scene was boring and, despite only being a few pages, I thought about pausing it and coming back at a later time. I may be extra disappointed because I read Adrian's Thanksgiving story 😅

ADRIAN!!!!!
Stop it and stop it right now. 😂 The way I devoured these quick 19 pages. My good sir! You don't ever disappoint. The way I ran to Kindle when I saw this new release. I want a **** that'll **** me like that. My God today. 😂 What else you got 🤣

She Really Goes There
Adrian blue is the first author I’ve read that has really gone there with some of these stories. Her stories are like scratching an itch you couldn’t quite reach. Love her and love this one!

That was wild!
This is a very quick read and is here for the smut, not the plot. The creature described here was pretty dang cool! As a warning, this spicy short def has non-con in it.

This isn’t ships passing in the night.
This is stranger assault. No words spoken between them, just the terror of physically being forced.
Two stars because I’ve never heard of a goose monster before. That’s very creative.

Quick read
I seen this series as a rec on Facebook and decided to give it a go to kill some time.
A good short quick read if you just looking for a once scene type of book. Onto book 2!

Always something unexpected from this author. She keeps me on my toes and quite often makes me say”what the heck did I just read”. But I’m okay with that. Sometimes you need to get out of your comfort zone. This short story definitely did that.
