I am Misty Vixen (not my real name obviously), and I imagine that if you’re reading this, you want to know a bit more about me.
In the beginning (late 2014), I was an erotica author. I wrote about sex, specifically about human men banging hot inhuman women. Monster girls, alien ladies, paranormal babes. It was a lot of fun, but as the years went on, I realized that I was actually striving to be a harem author. This didn’t truly occur to me until late 2019-early 2020. Once the realization fully hit, I began doing research on what it meant to be a harem author. I’m kind of a slow learner, so it’s taken me a bit to figure it all out.
That being said, I’m now a harem author!
Just about everything I write nowadays is harem fiction: one man in loving, romantic, highly sexual relationships with several women. Nowadays, I tend to write more human on human stuff, but I still have a lot of non-human ladies in mind for the future, so if that’s your thing then stick around.
I’d say beyond writing harems, I tend to have themes that I always explore in my fiction, and they encompass things like trust, communication, respect, honesty, dealing with emotional problems in a mature way…basically I like writing about functional and healthy relationships. Not every relationship is perfect, but I don’t really do drama unless the story actually calls for it. In total honesty, I hate drama. I hate people lying to each other and I hate needless rom-com BS plots that could have been solved by two characters having a two minute conversation.
The first book was great. It was great because it had a very simple story and introduced so.complex characters. After that it started to come apart. Building the story failed, no get to g around it. Book two was weak and book three a failure. The extra additions of characters were not up to snuff. They felt cookie cutter. I am going to try The next to see if a fresh starting point helps, but I am going in leary.
Loved the first 2 books in the series, but I really wasn't keen on this instalment.
I wouldn't go so far as one of the other reviewers, however I must agree that the protagonist's constant need to defend himself and his character is really starting to grate on me, especially when it comes to those who are already in his party and who know him well at this stage.
The new settlement and it's new characters didn't really gel with me either, I found pretty much all of them unlikable. Additionally, the protagonists decision making skills have seemingly taken a major knock; like trading away all of their hard-earned equipment and most of their guns just to enter an unknown, failing, destroyed, unsecure settlement, directly putting himself and his group at risk, but it's ok because "it's for the greater good". I understand MC wants to help and that's his goal in life, but I can't believe that someone who had survived 2 years in the apocalypse would be so foolish, and is a far cry from the protagonist in the previous books.
Finally, it sounds like the entire group is crashing and burning, with none of them really willing to stand by him in the end, despite everything they've been through together, undermining their shared experiences in the previous books and all the times he's saved their collective lives. Despite the MC being the one constant in their survival, and has gone to such extremes to keep them safe, the first time the group sees any semblance of an "out" they all leap on it, regardless of the fact that the settlement has a proven track record of insecurity and destruction and in part, poor leadership. Whilst their split was always on the cards, it did seem it was going to go the other way, but no, unfortunately any sense of comradeship, companionship, loyalty or "love" is eroded.
You know.The Mc has gone above and beyond the call of duty to protect these women.So they get to a helpless town he gives all his supplies to help and the whore who runs the town second guesses him because he losses his cool protecting yet again one of his women.And the author depicts the Mc as always having defend himself just trying to help out cause he’s a man! Couldn’t even get past the first first 50 pages cause of this man hating femi nazis bull shit writing.Author obviously hates men and wants to depict them as angry brutes.
I picked this series up for free on Amazon. Although it looks like it contains very saucy content (and it does), I was intrigued by the positive comments about the main post-apocalyptic story. Global warming has covered the land with snow, and society has collapsed. In this third instalment, Chris, Delilah, Megan and Elizabeth reach the town that Delilah wished to travel to, Pine Lake; so Chris has fulfilled his promise. However, part of the town has been burned due to an attack by a local gang. After being accepted into the town and most of their possessions taken from them as payment, Chris helps look for survivors (and cats) that had fled from the attacks, winning over the local's support. I initially thought it seemed out of character for Chris to willingly give up their possessions, and maybe he wouldn't if he wasn't convinced they would accept him once they confirm he actually knows Delilah, and Lindsey is located. The story seems more action-packed since Chris keeps going on quests around the area but it catches up on the sexual side of things in the latter half.
I'm constantly cold when I read Misty Vixen's "A Warm Place". Part 3 is no different. That's due to the author's good portrayal of this post-apocalyptic world.
After traveling for a long time, Chris, Megan, Elizabeth and Delilah arrive at Pine Ridge, only to find it's been decimated by raiders. Chris seems to forget some basic survival lessons by giving away almost his stuff. Sure, it's to keep the women and town safe, but is it? The decision certainly adds to dramatic effect, but is out of character.
The harshness of survival shows up when the women the MC helped and kept safe, decide not to go with him. It's a painful, but important dramatic moment.
I liked 1 and 2 better, and I'm looking forward to part 4.
No problem with the plot or characters, good action scenes, even the emotional psychoanalyzing is fairly well done. Tactically sound on military operations (flanking and ambushes)...except the obvious camouflage...all white in straight white areas, and white top and head cover along with brown/black bottoms for wooded/snow areas, easy to make with bedsheets. (Courtesy of my stint in Winter training/survival in Alaska.)
Dystopia survivalist harem adult situations Chris, Megan, and Elizabeth bring Delilah to Pine Ridge. A lot of action and a lot of tasks lay ahead. A few errors, but not enough to interfere with the story. Actually pleased there are twelve books in the series thus far.
Wow all that Chris and his girls had to go yet finally reach Pine Lake and Chris fulfilling his promise to Delilah of finding Lindsey. Now Chris is at a crossroad after finding the town doctor and gaining trust and respect, Chris is thinking about leaving.
The action is great, the self-doubt is just like you would think, and the people are just some what believable. It's just that know one is ever that lucky with the ladies. He is just too good to be true and he found that out when he had to fight the first raider. We all have a bad side that can pop up at the worst time.
The series gets better with each volume to date. While there is intentionally an erotic element to the series, the author ensures that the storyline is a polished action adventure. Characters are interesting, varied and well developed. There is an abundance of action in this continuing adventure. Looking forward to the next book!
The first two books were a great lead in for this one! The way the characters were described and built up in the first two books were very good, as was the description of the world in that catastrophe. Now I'm looking forward to see what happens next.
This is my favorite series Misty has produced to date. I hope she continues the quality of series and the adventures of Chris and hopefully Megan and others
