The Debt: A Thanksgiving Monster Romance

by Adrian Blue

Food vlogger Cary buys a heritage turkey for her perfect Thanksgiving content, unaware she's stolen from a territorial shifter who claims the finest birds as his own. When the enraged creature crashes through her door demanding payment, the debt is flesh for flesh. Submit willingly, or he'll simply take what he's owed. But as her body betrays her with every touch of his clawed hands and silken feathers, she realizes the real danger isn't what he'll take from her, it's how much she'll crave giving him more.

this was SO unserious. a turkey man busts through the front door like the Kool-Aid Man demanding flesh for flesh because some influencer girl cooked foenem for her Thanksgiving food vlog. PLEASE! he basically took it too?! she says NO literally 95% of the encounter. HELL NAW. you would have to kill me. I'm not letting gobbledy-neck consent non-consent me because I cooked Thanksgiving dinner. shoulda fried his ass up too

calling it a romance is a stretch

…so was the encounter 😂

Wtf did I read? I’m positively stuffed with confusion. There was so much sauce! 😂

Took one for the team, and read this for science. Made breakfast interesting at least, might never eat turkey bacon again.

I feel like this is very accurate to how a massive sentient turkey would behave

[Renee · Rating 2 out of 5]

Idk. I just choose violence for myself and am shocked by the outcome sometimes.

[Sandy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this whole thing

Yup. 5 chapters of exactly what you think is going to happen.
If I had a nickel for every were-turkey romance I’ve read I’d have two nickels. That’s a shameful amount of nickels.

Eu não consigo nem me defender, olha as coisas que eu leio 🤣🤣🤣

Avaliando a escrita:
A escrita está muito boa, é perceptível o amadurecimento do Adrian Blue desde a época da colônia (sim, o famoso livro dos vermes 🤡). Há mais fluidez na narrativa.

Avaliando a história:
Esse peru foi muito escroto 🤣🤣🤣. Um título alternativo poderia facilmente ser “Recheada e abandonada”. A trama é rápida, com apenas 24 páginas, então não espere uma construção elaborada.

Cary é uma influencer culinária com 300 mil seguidores e decide preparar um banquete de ação de graças o mais “caipira” possível. Para isso, aluga uma cabana, vai às compras na feira e prepara sua bela ave. Mas, quando tudo está pronto, surge uma surpresa: alguém aparece para cobrar a dívida, afinal, aquela ave não era dela.

Resumo da experiência:
Um conto erótico, com peru humanóide, consentimento duvidoso e uma protagonista em situação de dependência. É bizarro, rápido e curioso — dito isso, boa leitura 😅

Um conto erótico, com humanidade de peru, consentimento duvidoso e vítima com dependência, dito isso, boa leitura 😅

I wasn't sure what to expect with an angry turkey-man taking out his upset on an unsuspecting food vlogger, but I mist admit he'd showed Cary the proper way to stuff things. And by things, I mean her. She learned the intricate ins and outs of stuffing.

Anywho. Cary makes the rookie mistake of buying a turkey from the farmer's market that a monstrous creature has claimed as his. To be fair, she wasn't aware of this claiming in any way, shape, or form. But she did it. And the creature was NOT happy to have his bird in her hands. So he demands payment and the payment is...not necessarily something Cary was willing to pay, but she ended up enjoying herself far more than she thought she would.

And she's considering going back next year to buy the finest turkey again. Just, you know, to relive the experience.

Okay, hot DAMN. If you know me, no tf you don't 🫣
Because that should not have been so 🔥, but it absolutely was and it has nothing to do with the fact that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Keeping this one saved to enjoy again next Thanksgiving 😂

Happy Thanksgiving indeed……

Ms. Blue doesn’t disappoint with this tale of the “perfect Thanksgiving’ for a women and her ‘turkey. Excellent writing as usual, great story and plenty of spice!

[Jessie · Rating 5 out of 5]

lowkey kinda….🤪

I’ve honestly liked just about every book from Adrian Blue, but this one…was delectable in a way. You’re so shocked by what you’re reading but it’s oh so good! My only gripe is wanting longer books from the Author!!!!!

[BatDuckie · Rating 5 out of 5]

😏

That was surprisingly good. I wouldn't consider it a romance more like a erotic novella. But the spice was nice and the story was interesting enough to hold my attention for the 30 some odd pages lol

[Mindi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun

This book was just fun. No plot. No HEA. No cliffhanger. Honestly, I just read this because it sounded ridiculous, it was. In a fun, fantasy, unreal way. If you're looking for something that's completely crazy, look no further. It was written well. On to the next.

This book was… something.

I could be that person that makes the 'gobble-gobble' joke...and I will, just not here. Your naughty taboo Thanksgiving read has been served people!

[Giselle]

o pessoal tem uma criatividade inalcançável uau uau

[Ness VDH]

Chaotic, weird and quirky?! 🤔🤔
I feel like just looking at the front cover of the book will give you enough of an idea about this book…

[LizKat · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great way to start off the new year!
Hilarious and smutty. Adore Adrian Blue's books.

Thoughts:

There wasn’t any romance in this one, if any at all. This was just smut.

4/5⭐️

This just proves how easily entertained I am because yes I did read this whole thing and no I don't regret it

[RB · Rating 1 out of 5]

I guess i just don't buy violent $exual assault as titillating. To each their own.

[Ash · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm just mad the food she cooked went to waste 😤 Turkey man, you didn't have to destroy the entire dinner 😒 but stuffing the fmc like she stuffed the thanksgiving turkey was a trip 😅

[Ashley M · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't know how to describe what I just read to another person, so I'll just say gobble gobble. Thanks to the FB smut group that directed me to this lol.

[Jennifer · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ok

This was a twisted short story. I'm not sure if I really liked this one. It was steamy and somewhat entertaining.

4.5/5 stars

This is the book that led me to starting this whole series. I saw it in a Facebook group and became intrigued.

Imagine cooking a big Thanksgiving dinner and having the most perfect roast turkey, just for its shifter owner to rock up absolutely fuming that you’ve taken his most prized bird and announcing the only way to repay him is to let him have his way with you. So there you are, dinner ruined, getting stuffed by a giant turkey, and when it’s over all you can think about is having a repeat performance next year.

If getting ruined by seven foot poultry is your jam then this is the book for you.
