When portals from another world split open the sky, humanity braces for war… only to discover the monsters from Erethar aren’t here to conquer. They need something from humans. Something oddly specific in order to survive. And when they begin recruiting for a ritual that sounds a lot like a cross-dimensional booty call… Well, my name’s on that sign-up sheet before they even finish the pitch.
I’m Everest Hale, and I’m doing my part to save the world with my… Well, I’m not at liberty to discuss, but let’s just say it’s given with vigorous enthusiasm.
You’re welcome, Earth.
Suck is the first audiobook in the series Feed and Feast by Cora Rose and E.M. Lindsey. It is a high stakes, high heat, swoony, monster/human romance. Full blurb and cover coming soon.
Cora Rose loves any kind of romance and consumes way too many books each year. She currently lives in the U.S. and spends her days daydreaming about the characters inside her head.
You can email her at CoraRoseRomance@gmail.com or visit her website at www.coraroseromance.com
and suck he did. we’re talking never off the clock. we’re talking 15 sucks a day (only because the human mmc wouldn’t agree to 30) (boo 👎🏼) (milk men to death)
other than that, this was just okay to me. it had its cute moments but i can’t say i cared much for either of them. me vs not comparing every mm monster romance to my monstrous family (i fail every time)
also, guzzling in buckets for WHAT. the reason behind all that sucking was anticlimactic city.
cielo was hands down the best part of this!!! my caffeine obsessed angel boy 🩷
Was this super spicy? Absolutely. Was it also really sweet and funny? Yes. Am I dying for more of this series? Also yes.
I honestly wasn't sure what to expect going into this, but Ev and Rath's story sucked (no pun intended) me in from the very start! Absolutely need Dante and Cielo's story asappppp
𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧: - monster + human - hurt x comfort - monster ween, obvi - sexual awakening - opposites attract - first times - LOTS of sucking - body piercings - monster world - power dynamics - high heat (goes without saying)
i didn’t think a book about sucking cum to survive would make me tear up but it is what it is. that epilogue killed me and cielo will destroy me. i can’t wait.
was this book silly? well, yes, that’s to be expected, i fear. was it too much? the middle should’ve been tightened a bit, but it wasn’t too much.
i do have one little complaint: i don’t think this world is fleshed out enough. i do realize that there is an overarching plot and that we will know more in future books, but after 400+ pages, i would like to know ✨something✨ about the monsters. i know, i ask for so much.
anyways. it was fun as hell and i would sell a kidney and my entire sister to read cielo’s book right now

4.5 stars
Everest is human and 21. When he was 15, his parents died during a pandemic, that almost took him out to. After that, his aunt and uncle took him in, but they are hateful and xenophobic people, and he didn't have a good few years until he turned 18 and could go out on his own. Shortly after his parents' deaths, monsters +the Vyastil) from another dimension came to Earth and they have made the world better with their technology but they have also come to an arrangement with the government where men between the ages of 21 and 60 who can produce semen are required to volunteer to feed the Vyastil their cum... Because the Vyastil need it for reasons they won't talk about. Everest has always been fascinated by the Vyastil, grateful for what they have done, and intrigued to donate and learn more about them. When he turns 21, he volunteers right away.
The first Vyastil Everest feeds blows his mind, and Rathyn becomes obsessed with Everest. He tries to bully and bribe Everest into coming back as quickly as possible for another go, and then he basically runs him to a courthouse to lock him in to an exclusive companion agreement, where Everest agrees to be his. Everest is a poor guy working at a hot dog stand at the mall with no other prospects, and this sounds lucrative and fun. They kind of get off on the wrong foot because of language and cultural differences, but they quickly develop a real deep connection, and they both crave and care so much for each other. But there's paranormal political s*** at play, that complicates their relationship.
I really enjoyed this book. On the surface, it's kind of wild and smutty, the premise of alien creatures needing to feed off of cum. But it's a great emotional story. Everest is a kind, curious, accepting guy who stands up for what is right. He warms up to Rathyn so quick and he starts a nice friendship with Cielo. Rathyn is a quiet, stoic intimidating guy who is such a softie for Everest. I love how everything is so new to Rathyn and he learns about affection and relationships from Everest and he so innocently takes pleasure from the small things and just soaks in affection. This book did a good job at showing us and not just telling us that the characters care about each other, we saw it in the small things, in the way that Rathyn's ears would flutter, the grip of his tail on Everest would tighten, he wouldn't let Everest let go of his hand, he would ask him to cuddle and ask for a kiss. And Everest was sensitive and vulnerable, touch starved for even platonic touches with Rathyn. It wasn't just about getting off. I liked that Everest was funny and snarky and would impulsively blurt out things. He wasn't intimidated by the Vyastil.
This book ended in a way that is kind of happy for now, but you know they are meant for each other. There's just a lot of political stuff that's getting in their way right now and they have some work to do. I'm intrigued by the other potential couples that have been set up. Cielo is a sweetheart and Dante sounds good for him. With regards to Zane, at first I wanted Everest to boot him out of his life for being a xenophobic ass, but he started to show a little bit of promise towards the end.
Some notable moments:
"He hums, the sound almost like a growling purr, and he glances from left to right. “Your job does not seem very important or necessary.” “Uh, first of all, fuck you. I feed people. Second of all, it’s very necessary to pay my bills so I can eat and have a place to live.” “I told you I would—” “No,” I say swiftly. God, I do not need some eavesdropping asshole at one of the other shops to hear this Vyastil telling me he wants to build me a goddamn shelter. Even if the idea of it makes my heart twist in my chest."
That poor driver was shook. "“When we arrive home,” Rathyn says, startling me out of my thoughts, “I would like to begin collecting on our contract. We have many orgasms to get through today.” “Oh, hell no. Fifteen orgasms in a few hours? You’re out of your mind.” The car swerves slightly, and I blush wildly. Oh my god, I should not say that out loud. It makes me seem like some kind of cum slut. Or blow job slut."
"I’m still pissed at Rathyn for disregarding my wishes and being overbearing, but by the way he’s sulking near the couch when I finally kick off my shoes and move to the kitchen for something to eat, I can’t help but feel a little sorry for him. He’s been shooting my crotch longing looks and making tiny, sad trills every time I look away. Maybe I’ll let him give me one blow job. Just one."
*FYI about steam: I rate steam based on a combination of quality & quantity. I note kink separate from steam because I don't want to underrate steamy reads that don't have much kink.
**Note about spoilers: I like to comment on the plot of a book in reviews, so I almost always mark my reviews as containing spoilers. But I try to avoid spoiling the big dramatic moments! As a reader, I personally like to know what I'm getting into before I read a book so I know more about the content and if it's to my taste/mood, so I try to give that information in my reviews for myself when I'm considering rereading and also for other readers.
4.75⭐️ Oooh this is going to be a new fave series for me, I just know it! I LOVE the collabs with these authors. 😍
The premise of this book is a little over the top. I saw someone say it’s like Morning Glory Milking Farm meets Zercy, and I totally agree, but add in some great humour, a really fun cast of characters, and you get Suck!
This book follows Everest, who signs up to get “sucked” by one of the Vyastil monsters that have come through the portals and formed treaties with humans. There’s so much mystery about why the Vyastil need human…essence, but Everest is curious and keen to try. He’s paired with a slightly grumpy and presumptuous Vyastil commander called Rathyn. Once Rath gets a taste of Everest, everything changes.
This book has: -monster x human relationship with a special bond -fun monster anatomy and piercings -cool monster world and culture -great side characters -size difference -cool monster herbs that do special things 👀 -psychic bond -an outspoken human and a stoic monster that learns to love -hilarious misunderstandings and sweet connections between monsters / humans
I realllly enjoyed this book! It has a really interesting (and kind of crazy) premise, which obviously sucks you in (haha pun intended). As always, Lindsey and Rose will have you intrigued by not only the MCs, but the side characters as well. I can’t wait for book 2!
Так багато мінетів, дуже-дуже багато мінетів, мінімум 15 мінетів на день, згідно контракту)))) Дипломатія і порятунок людства ще ніколи не виглядали настільки самовіддано, якби хтось переказав мені сюжет вголос, я б вирішила, що це жарт з інтернету. Тут так, багато смоктання, кохання, інтимності, тепла, цілувашок-обіймашок!!! Чудовий гумор, оригінальний, незаюзаний сюжет, кумедні культурні і мовні непорозуміння.
Обожнюю, як творчо і різнобарвно передаються ємоціі і почуття монстрів- мурчання, трелі, гарчання, мугикання, зітхання, гудіння, щасливе чи ніякове смикання та тріпотіння вухами, обвивання хвостами, зміна кольору шкіри.
Але, здається, більшу частину книги мене вводили в оману) легкий, гарячий і дотепний ромком отримав нові сенси. Гадаю, що нас чекають політичні ігри, боротьба з системою, обʼєднання союзників, розкриття таємниць (зокрема, одержимості спермою), більше історії Erethar. Чекаю нові історії чудових хлопців та їх монстрів)
4.5 rounded because how can I not??? there was so so much potential for more world building in this novel, it is probably the only thing that’s missing that would make this a 5 stars on its own; but everything is was *chefs kiss* was it a little silly? absolutely, but it was so engaging and funny and rath and Everest were so cute!!! And Cielo???? CIELLOOOO?????? My sweet baby alien, cielo 🧚🏽♀️🧚🏽♀️🧚🏽♀️
I finished this one a few days ago and I’m glad we’re getting more monster romance books because I love monster romance, it's totally my thing and I really did like the Vyastil.
However, putting aside the occasional political correctness for a while, after about 60% the story kind of lost the very dramatic pull it had on me. I also feel like the relationship between Rathyn and Everest could’ve been much more developed and spicier too.
Other than that, yeah, it's a good one, do read it.
🟣 An alien military commander / a human guy (poor hot dog stand worker) 🟢 I'll say there's an age gap, Ev is 21 / Rath is about a decade older (my guess) 🔵 Size difference, even though Ev is a former football player, so he's tall, muscular, a good size 🟠 Ev is bi / the monster's sexuality isn't heavily addressed, apparently he's into men, because females are rare anyway and he's not fit to breed one? I don't know 🟡 Bonded, soulmate, telepathically connected 🌶️ Some sex and it's good, Rath's virginity and dick could've been utilized a lot more; some oral (not enough for Rath), 1-2 penetrative scenes only, nothing much basically, a bit disappointing; t/b (I definitely expected them to be vers)
I did like the monsters, the politics, the mystery that’s very much present right now and the crossover with the human world. I also really liked the concept of cum being the nutritious fuel that heals and feeds the Vyastil, the alien race that made contact with humans and created a somewhat harmonious coexistence with them.
Everest is planning on joining the government program that’s basically like a military draft, except instead of going to war, you’re signing up for an alien to blow you every week until you dry up at around 60 years old at the most.
His first assigned alien is Rathyn, a military commander who tries the product directly from the source this time around and realizes Everest is something more than just a donor. But since the Vyastil bred out the part of themselves that yearns for love, recognizes soulmates, and imprints on them, he doesn’t understand what’s happening when he suddenly develops a telepathic connection with Everest and wants to be around him all the time.
This is how I imagined these guys looked based on the descriptions in the book.
Everest and Rathyn sign a contract where Everest becomes Rathyn’s companion, which is basically a legal sex servant situation. But since they’re falling in love, they’re not really following the rules where Everest is supposed to be this meek, submissive human who’s always a step behind and available for the taking. They very much feel and act like equals.
I was a little surprised by this almost middle-age mentality from such an advanced alien race that brought peace, technology, and healthcare to humans, but apparently not everything is as it seems. Their real reasons for being on Earth still haven’t come to light, they’re clearly not as peaceful as they appear and I still don’t know why cum is supposedly so beneficial to them, so we’re obviously going to learn more about that. Why humans all of a sudden, and why cum? Very important existential questions you’ll find yourself pondering about.
I also thought that since plenty of the Vyastil don’t have sex at all and don’t even use their dicks, something drastic would happen once they finally had penetrative sex, but it really didn’t. I mean, it should’ve. It was treated like a huge deal culturally, it was unimaginable to use their dicks for sex. Rathyn also didn’t top Everest as much as I expected and that was definitely a missed opportunity. Even the scenes where he did weren’t as developed as they could’ve been, which surprised me because one of these authors writes good sex, so what happened?
I would’ve liked a more intense, emotional, passionate charge between Everest and Rathyn. That first time Everest took the breeding plant and they didn’t have sex afterward was a huge miss for me. It was a great opportunity to ignite everything there was between them and it felt like the story should’ve continued pushing that passion and tension, that push-and-pull dynamic, all of it, but eventually the electricity between them kind of dulled down.
I felt like one author was completely ready to go all out, while the other kept dulling things down and fading things to almost black. For example, when Rathyn finally experiences penetrative sex with his VySytheh, you can hardly tell he climaxed and you can't tell how he felt about it. Why? Because Rathyn's POV is written just about twice in the entire book! So, so much is missing because there's this big gap where you can't really tell what he's thinking, feeling, experiencing in his world and what's going on!
The result just didn’t work that well for me because these two characters should’ve been more. More of the emotional intensity, more of the passion, more tension… just more of everything. And it should've been equally told and experienced from both POV's.
But I did still like the story though. I just don’t have high hopes for the next installment because it's already predictable. But it’s definitely going to develop the plot, so I’m still really looking forward to reading it.
I would, however, love to read about Eissa getting his second chance because I don’t think his human really died; Zane and Quilliyn (this one is going to be very good and please don’t call him xenophobic ffs); and I absolutely need that obnoxious prince Jyrion to get his human too.
I also want to see Erethar’s story unfold more. Why are they in such a predicament? They are technologically very advanced, yet very behind culturally at the same time, so I want to see them actually develop and prosper. It’s such a good setting for a lot of political intrigue and drama that it would be a shame not to go for it.
There are also so many possibilities with the Tarek when it comes to future couples, the classism is huge on Erethar apparently, so I’m really hoping this series gets a lot of good installments. The first book is definitely very promising.
The way I’ve been desperate to read this book and i’m not even disappointed. I love the world that Cora and Lindsey created that I’m kinda gnawing at the teeth for me ( I want Zane’s book so bad+ Eissa too😭). This was surprisingly sweet which shouldn’t be weird since it’s Cora and EM who writes the sweetest low angst stories. I think I expected a bit more and once I heard suckling, my mind went places (so many potential). As always, I love a a monster peen and I wanted more. I liked how deviant Everest was especially with everything that happened in his life. I do see how the author set up for future works since we were left with a lot of unanswered questions but I can’t wait for what’s next🙂↕️
Let me just say that I’m somewhat abashed to have read this but was intrigued after reading a review. The premise: semen is the bartering tool for an alien race to fix earth’s woes, and so all virile young men must submit to getting blow jobs by aliens weekly for them to help us out. No messing around with this premise—we’re in for porn.
Yet, the beginning was pretty promising. I was kind of surprised that I was actually enjoying the plot and not just the sex. For the first 30-40%, I was into it.
What ended it for me and plunged the rest into B movie territory and manic speed reading to see if it got better was the relationship dynamic as feelings started to get involved. I didn’t buy how the characters developed, and a cross cultural much less cross species/cross planetary relationships would be a lot more complex. Color me taking this way too seriously, but it bugged me. It felt like Everest was “fixing” Rathem (sp?), who, poor alien general that he was, didn’t know what feelings or sensual pleasure was. And Everest’s “you don’t own me, I’m my own person!” schtick got a bit shrill feeling to me after a bit.
Anyway, a mixed bag. Some might enjoy if they’re in the mood for hot campiness. I won’t be reading number two tho.
The premise of this series is just incredible, I had an absolute blast describing it to my friends and family over and over again (much to their horror). Also, this cover is SO SO BEAUTIFUL.
I’ve seen it compared to some of these, but I described it to my sister as ‘Morning Glory Milking Farm’ meets ‘Zercy’ and I stand by that. If you liked either of those, you’re going to like this book. Who am I kidding? If you like smutty monster romance at all then this is for you. This series is 100% going straight into the monster romance hall of fame.
I got a bit frustrated at a few things happening around the 70% mark which kept me from rating this five stars, but I still absolutely loved it. I can’t even express how excited I am for the rest of the series. I was over the moon to discover that we can expect the next one later this year. Thank you so much Cora Rose and EM Lindsey for this absolute treat of a book.
As it turns out, there's only so many blowjobs one can read about before they run together and turn into murky nothingness - no matter how funny the excuse is or how pretty the pale blue monsters are. Not a single shiver of wombs over here.
I didn't feel the connection between bratty Everest and arrogant Rathyn, but I'm still looking forward to the next book about Ciero the wonderful bodyguard, and Dante the sex shop guy who is teaching him sign language.
And why do I think there'll be another one with Everest's grumpy, xenophobic BFF Zane, and Quilliyn the cool gym owner?
Gayet keyifli ve hızlı okunan bir monster rom. Yazar dünya oluşturmayı ve karakterleri güzel yazmış. Bu tarz seviyorsanız öneririm. Başlardaki o duygusuzluktan birbirlerini tanımaya ve anlamaya geçme aşamasını okumak eğlenceliydi. Karakterlerin birbirinden tamamen farklı olması ve bu farklılıkları öğrenmek her zaman bu tarz kitaplarda hoşuma giden kısım oluyor. Bu kitapta da bu güzel yazılmıştı. Bolca smut beklediğim bir şeydi ama sona doğru duygusallaştırması beklenmedik oldu. 2. kitabın ana karakterini burda biraz okuyoruz ve ona şimdiden bayıldım. Tam bir cinnamon roll ve onu okumak için sabırsızlanıyorum.
Top tier. Um, excuse me, but this book has no right being so good. I want to shout it from the rooftops, but I don’t think that would be socially acceptable.
This has everything! A little sci-fi, fantasy, erotica, comedy, social commentary and mystery. My favorite monster book is Soul Eater, but I would say that this is right up there. It’s lighter and more humorous, but still addressing tough subjects. Also really good spice! I can’t count the amount of times I was laughing out loud.
I had a feeling I’d enjoy this book because I love both of the authors but that was so fun! I’m also devastated because I thought book two was out already and that I could go straight into it but I’m a day early 😭
This also had way more depth than I was expecting in terms of the ‘monster’ world and their politics. Wasn’t expecting that but it definitely added an extra layer to the story! I do wish we’d found out a liiiiitle bit more of what they’re hiding because at the moment I just feel confused haha
The premise of this book was hilarious and it did not disappoint. Love me a good alien x human romance. I need book two in my hands right now!!! I can't wait! 😁🥰
4,5 ⭐️ Fun-f*cking-tastic! Maybe, because Lily Mayne groomed me to love monster stories, I couldn’t skipped this one. Also this duo authors sure know how to keep you entertained. I very much enjoyed the cultural misunderstandings between humans and monsters, they were funny and endearing. Most of the story is told from Everest (the human) perspective, so when we get a little glimpse of what Rath’s side it was very interesting. Yeah it was super spicy, but for a first book of this series, the world building was solid and I have so many questions. Definitely going to read the next one.
This was an interesting take on a monster x human romance and the unique nutrient the monsters needed from the humans made it even more intriguing. I enjoyed the political aspects in this. Typically, we see monsters versus humans and in this they were more cohesive with their ideology. Do I think it will last?! Probably not, but it will be interesting to see where this series takes us!
I liked the dynamic between Rath and Everest! Their push and pull was a good time. Cielo was so adorable and the friendship between him and Everest was sweet. I do wish we got a bit more information earlier in the book such as why Earth, how did they know exactly what was needed to negotiate terms, we learn why their human resources were needed but are they stockpiling for something to come and if so where or how is it stored in there system and if not why so much consumption. However, I’m aware these questions may be answered in the next book. I’m interested in getting my hands on book 2!
I haven’t read a book this enthusiastically and quickly in months. What a treat to be fully sucked into a story again.
This book doesn’t try to pretend to be anything it’s not. It’s about monsters that need human cum to survive or something. You’ll see. But it is proud of it lol. It is shockingly full of heart and lovable characters. I really loved how the monster - Rath - wasn’t the alpha toppity top of all time and had fears and insecurities. I loved Everest so much too. He was the right amount of “sassy himbo” without making me roll my eyes.
I wish there had been a bit more chapters from Rath’s POV and a bit more emotion during the reciprocal sex scenes, but regardless I had a great time. I am so excited to read about all the other characters we met, even if it is very obvious who is paired with who.
I loved the cover as well. Not AI - I found the artist on IG.
This was just what the doctor prescribed after finishing the darkest, most intense dark fantasy series I’ve ever read. Definitely a unique concept that had me very curious 😂👀 This is so fun, sweet, and entertaining. I flew through this! I always love a good alien romance.
Too much sex which understandable seeing as the plot is basically aliens needing cum, but the book was written in such a way that the most important parts of the plot happened at 70-80% of the book which then felt too rushed.
