Sasquatch's Seduction: F/M Monster Story

The Cryptids of America

by Katryna Lalock

Newly single Carmen is not having a good time. Her ex Elliott cheated on her and left her heartbroken and crying. Thankfully her best friend, Devan, had just the suggestion - a solo hiking/camping trip in the remote forest of the Rocky Mountain National Park. Being a seasoned hiker and camper Carmen is all too excited to spend a week off the grid in one of her favorite national parks.
The site is perfect. It has a clearing along the river that allows for afternoon swims, the perfect trees for her hammock and countless small trails to explore. Still, she can't shake the feeling she's not completely alone. This fact becomes abundantly apparent when a family of bears visit her. Carmen would be dead if it weren't for the large man covered in fur named Sam, who saved her before disappearing into the bush.
Who is Sam? WHAT is Sam? Why did Devan give her directions to this particular campsite, and why did she wink when she did? It turns out this particular clearing belongs to Sam the Sasquatch and he's known for helping people get over exes...by getting under someone else.

This is the first in a series of novellas about interactions between cryptids and regular people.

A crazy first read of the year thanks to book club white elephant, 50 pages of absolutely no substance which was exactly what I expected hahaha

No HEA? I refuse to believe that you peg bigfoot and don’t end up running naked through the woods forever with them.

This had so much potential but ultimately fell flat. Continuity and spelling errors took me out of the story. I couldn't get a good picture of him in my head because he's described so differently throughout the book I don't even know what colour his fur is. White? Grey? Brown? At one point his hands are blue? I don't freaking know.

I'm going to keep reading this author however, because I believe they have good potential and I'm hoping as they polish their craft the prose and story becomes more cohesive.

My friend gave this to me as a joke, and after a few months collecting dust on my shelf, I decided to take it on the train for a quick read. 45 minutes later I'm processing it all. I could forgive the entire plot if the author had at least edited for continuity errors and wrote in the same tense the whole time. I will simply say that it was as expected and will be a fun gag gift for the next friend I gift this along to.

My husband bought me this novella for Christmas as a gag gift. It’s the funniest fucking thing I have ever read. It’s only getting 3 stars because I was cry-laughing while reading it. It’s 100% trash and that’s what makes it so spectacular. Spoiler- she pegs the Sasquatch.

Newly-single Carmen needs to get away and clear her head--luckily, her friend has the location to a very secret, special campsite in the national forest. Turns out, Sam the Sasquatch lives there and he's totally up to banging an extra-horny Carmen. Oh, and he totally remembers banging her friend, too. Awesome.

This had a lot of errors and the tense changed quite a bit? Definitely needed some more polishing but--fun overall?
