About the author

N.J. Lysk (pronouns: whatever) is a queer one—in almost every sense of the word—for whom stories have always been their one true home. She studied linguistics and literature (which is to say, someone offered him a genuine excuse to read professionally) and ended up teaching, but writing is their one true love.

Addicted to angst, enamoured of mpreg and always ready to try a new kink (in a book, that’s it!) she became hooked into the Omegaverse through fanfic (but he doesn't have the patience to write other people's characters) and has recently expanded from werewolves to hockey players.

Great collection!!!

Soldier On - When a humble young man is captured by the enemy lord during battle, he is expected to offer defeat to his captor by allowing him to bed him. But he is young enough that the act might unintentionally activate a hormonal process that will irreversibly feminize him. Dub-con, Non-con, mpreg, feminization, debasement.

I liked Soldier On. It has a historical feel to it in that the fairer sex didn't have any say in what happened to them. I liked that The main character made The most of what had happened to him and how he used that to protect his mother and his siblings. I give it 4*s.

The Will of Heaven - Prince Hiram of Pradeira is deemed unfit to be king after his father dies. But as a direct descendant of the gods, only those of his bloodline can reign and so to avoid civil war, he agrees to have a child with each of the princes of the other noble houses of the kingdom so that his first born and heir can inherit the throne from whoever fathered him. Dub-con, mpreg, feminization, medical kink, debasement.

The Will of Heaven was my least favorite of the collection. I felt it needed to be fleshed out more and it didn't feel finished. I was left wanting to know why Prince Hiram was considered unfit to rule after his father died and at the end of the book I wanted to know who ended up being his husband whether it was his biggest rival or one of the other princes. So for those reasons I have it 3*s.

His Brother’s Dowry - Tony agrees to accompany his brother to a new pack, knowing he will have to submit to alphas in the absence of omegas but willing to sacrifice his comfort to give Peter a chance to find love. But his brother is already in love with an omega girl and he will give anything to get her. Even Tony. Dub-con, non-con, mpreg, feminization, debasement, body modification. His Brother's Dowry was my favorite of the three stories. I loved it. I thought Tony's alpha brother Peter was a piece of work but I like how the three alphas that he is given to as their omega treat him. I especially liked the interactions between Tony and Jack. I want to read more about them and their world. I give it 5*s.

These stories are dark, darker, and pitch black. Twisted and fascinating. These are not stories for the faint of heart – take heed of the warnings.

I enjoyed all three of these stories, but my favorite was tied between Soldier On and His Brother’s Dowry. All three stories had extreme kinky sex with forced marriage/mating themes, feminization, and mpreg. These are not your typical stories, and there’s no romance here. But I enjoyed them immensely.

Overall Rating: 4 Stars. I wish the stories were longer and not so short.

Dark, Dirty and Damn good

I really enjoyed this triple read with these 3 stories. I never knew I would be into Mpreg and gender twisting but it was something interesting and not really as dark as other books but dark enough it touched on many major taboo topics and some kinks. Read with caution especially if you aren’t clear on Mpreg and some aggressive sex.

Very dark stories

These stories are very dark. I hesitate to categorize them as romance. Noncon, mpreg, forced feminization, forced breeding. I liked how the stories were told from the protagonist POV.

exactly as it says on the tin

these were quite the reads, definite dark erotic horror, plus an interesting if surreal exploration of various elements (discussed more in my individual reviews of the stories).

the epilogue is missing for the second book

vaguely traumatized now but it was worth it

Should have read the blurb more carefully. All of the books in this collection do not have good endings. It's noncon all the way through. Interesting settings for the short stories, but I prefer HEAs in my books no matter how twisted they are. I just need my MCs happy at the end.

Sooo fucking dark, Jesus Christ. That final ending of his brother’s dowry. They had us there for a second thinking it was only gonna be majorly fucked up instead of the actual empty, hollowed-out-chest fucked up that turned out to be.

Which Is Worse To Experience?

Losing your autonomy or losing a cherished part of your male anatomy?
How about both? These are NOT romances but they are compelling reads!
