Deep in the wilderness, entomologist Dr. Avery Reed stumbles across something that was never meant to be found. Now, trapped between scientific fascination and primal fear, she finds herself the focus of a being that sees her as more than just prey. As the line between terror and ecstasy blurs, she surrenders to an inhuman hunger that demands more than just her blood. In the silence of the forest, no one can hear her cries of fear—or pleasure.

I’ve decided insects really aren’t for me?? Even of the alien variety.

Mothman is great, he’s a cryptid. Buggy insects? Not so much.

(Rating based off my level of discomfort/revulsion while reading. Wasn’t nearly as bad as the spider one though.)

Cocoon (Spring Fever, Book 2) by Adrien Blue
⭐⭐⭐⭐🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Paranormal Romance * Erotica * Aliens * Monster * Science Fiction * Breeding * Last of its Kind
📖 38 pages

You can always count on Adrian Blue to deliver short, smutty reads that fully embrace the weird, the wild, and the monstrous… with just a sprinkle of horror for fun.

We had a week of warm weather, the snow was melting, I could finally see grass again, so naturally I thought, “perfect time for a spring-themed read!” Then winter said absolutely not and came right back.

Let’s spread its wings... I mean pages...and see if this one will have us fluttering in all the right places. I’m just wing-ing it here while we follow along and discover exactly how this butterfly situation turns into… well… aliens, breeding and babies.

Our FMC is an entomologist (aka bug expert extraordinaire), heading into the woods for a peaceful little solo retreat to study insects. Relaxing, right? Wrong. Because on one of her hikes, she stumbles upon a massive cocoon. Human size for reference.

And of course… it starts hatching right in front of her.

Out comes a giant butterfly/humanoid alien situation (honestly, you need to see the description yourself for this one). Things escalate quickly when she gets a mental download of his tragic backstory; his planet is gone, he’s the last of his kind, and he needs help continuing the species.

And our girl? Says “for science” and commits to the assignment.

What follows is… an experience. We’re talking over-the-top, completely unhinged, gravity-defying moments in the air and a VERY fast biological timeline that had me sitting there like: “Well. That escalated fast.” then we get a truly wild finale in one big orgasmic birthing experience.

Safe to say… I will admire butterflies from a respectful distance moving forward.

A vacation (of sorts) is what Avery had in mind when she set out to spend some time in the wilds, but she got SO MUCH MORE than that. I mean, the lady did something no other scientist can claim to have done and she genuinely enjoyed it.

What brought her to the enjoyment part? Her curiosity and a butterfly. Following it into the wilderness isn't a hardship. Finding the massive cocoon hanging from a tree is maybe a little concerning, but her scientific mind is also excited about it. Then something emerges from the cocoon and now Avery is faced with being part of something much bigger than herself.

That sounds dirty, but really I just meant the creature that emerges needs Avery's help and NOT helping doesn't seem like an option for her. So she agrees and soon she's in the middle of something that rocks her world.

A giant creature with decidedly non-standard parts (to be fair, they're probably standard for it, those parts just aren't something most humans are used to), a sexy flight, and a lady who is willing to go the distance when something needs her to. GOOD TIMES!

A secluded cabin. A woman alone. And something in the woods that should have never been found.

Entomologist Dr. Avery Reed’s fascination turns primal when she comes face-to-face with a creature that sees her as far more than prey. Between fear and ecstasy, she’s drawn into an inhuman hunger that changes everything.

Adrian Blue nailed it with this one—equal parts eerie and intoxicating. The writing captures every surreal, sensual moment, and yes… ovipositors done right.

loved it

I am a huge fan of Adrian’s shorts, I appreciate them as a way to break up long reads and to get out of slumps.

The monster x human smut is an added bonus. And boy, does this one have a TON of it.

If you’re a fan of monster x human books, that are quick and smutty… this is for you

Cocoon

Interesting story. This young woman went to her cabin but in doing so experienced something close to nirvana. This author Adrian Blue did a wonderful job of explaining all that she experienced.

This one

Was a little bit too much haha. For some reason the xenomorph didn’t phase me but I wasn’t too keen on the grubs in this book. Oh well.
