Wriggle & Sparkle: The Collected Tales of a Kraken and a Unicorn
Wriggle & Sparkle: The Collected Tales of a Kraken and a Unicorn | Megan Derr
15 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
Lynn is a kraken shifter in every way: detailed, tenacious, resilient, and hard-working. Also possessive, vain, arrogant, and demanding. It makes him an excellent agent for the Federal Bureau of Paranormal Security and Investigation-and impossible to work with, as the long list of partners who have transferred away from him will attest. His newest partner is a unicorn, possibly the worst type of paranormal for work that often turns ugly and violent. Everyone knows unicorns are too delicate for such things. Then Anderson proves to be a unicorn like no other, the kind of partner Lynn has always wanted-the kind of partner he wishes was more. But if there's one thing he's learned, it's that the only thing harder to keep than a partner is a lover.

A nice collection of #tentacleporn that actually has a story - paranormal FBI(ish) agents who end up with different careers, a wedding filled with shenanigans, and babies. I‘ll leave you to read it to figure out how that all happens. If you want to ease into tentacles during sexy times, this might be a better option than Ascquidentally In Love. #LitsyAfterDark

julesG Sounds weird but interesting. I'm going to add it to #MountTBR. 4y

There is definitely tentacle sex but it‘s not so porn-y in this book. And there‘s no tentacock that can impregnate someone so there‘s that. So far, this is a pretty good series of stories that Derr took the time to edit or had someone edit (sometimes there are typos and small errors in Derr‘s stories). #tentacleporn #LitsyAfterDark

The second story had one of my favorite things - lack of communication that almost leads to stupid shit and then they figure it out.

There‘s more tentacle sex but it‘s not as explicit as it was in the first story. #tentacleporn #LitsyAfterDark

blurb
jpmcwisemorgan

Derr writes a lot of short stories, I‘m not even sure you could call them novellas. This seems like there were a bunch of stories with the same characters that was made into a book, which makes sense with the title, by there may be some lack of a cohesive feel to it.

And krakens are apparently gender fluid and can change gender at will.

blurb
jpmcwisemorgan

It‘s been a long work week so didn‘t get to read much but I‘m at 11% in and the tentacles are making a potential sexy time appearance. #tentacleporn #LitsyAfterDark

blurb
jpmcwisemorgan

I didn‘t get very far last night but at about 4% there doesn‘t appear to be any sexy times - tentacled or not, coming.

Shifters in this world apparently need a ring or other item to help them shift. It‘s very odd.

blurb
jpmcwisemorgan

Three years ago I discovered #dinoporn, went down a #dinohole, and #LitsyAfterDark was born (at least for me). This book was one of the books in those early discussions and I‘m finally coming to it. Yes, I just paid $7 for it but I‘ve read a few other things by Megan Derr and I think it‘ll be at least a decent story. I guess I‘m on a #tentacleporn kick.

InLibrisVeritas Wha?! There are kraken romances?! How did I miss this?! 😂 I legit kind of need this now. 4y
LibrarianRyan 😁 😂 😁 4y
jpmcwisemorgan @InLibrisVeritas I guess so! I‘ve been meaning to come back to this but have just not done it. My last book had a tentacles god and now I‘m on to krakens. 4y

I finished this right before bed last night, but felt this #tentacleporn deserved a thoughtful review. If you can get past some of the #squicky sex scenes, there‘s actually a pretty decent romance novel here. I‘d give it a solid 3 1/2 🐙🐙🐙🦄. Thanks for cheering me on after I decided to #takeonefortheteam. I‘ve had so much fun with our conversations. Oh, and I‘m totally counting this for the Read Harder LGBTQ+ romance category!

OrangeMooseReads Tentacle porn, that‘s a new one for me. Sounds like it could be a fun read. 7y
jpmcwisemorgan I‘m going to read this one but I think I‘ll wait until next year so I can finish up some other books. Also, I need fun reads to spread out over next year. I‘ve been saving some. 7y
cathysaid "Tentacles in orifices." Now there's a phrase I never expected to see! 7y

DGRachel @OrangeMooseReads @jpmcwisemorgan It was better than I expected it to be and actually rather fun. I read romances when I need a brain-break or am heading into a slump, and I think this is definitely a good choice for either of those situations. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Great review! This sounds like a palate cleanser book, since it‘s pretty light hearted. I‘d give it a try. For anyone into #tentacleporn there are several scenes in the Merry Gentry series with a character who has extra tentacles, although he‘s not a kraken. 7y
DGRachel @cathysaid You‘re welcome. 😂🤣😂🤣 @BarbaraTheBibliophage I may have to check out that series. I know I will never look at octopuses the same way now. 🐙😱🤣🤣 7y
GondorGirl I'm so glad that you reviewed this. I was ready to read it based on the crazy conversions we've been having, but your review makes it sound rather good. 🦄💙🐙 7y
DGRachel @GondorGirl I think you‘ll be happier with it than the #dinoporn, based on what I‘ve seen. 😉 7y
TricksyTails Fantastic review! 🐙💖🦄 Our entertaining conversations had me curious enough to read this but your review has me sold. It sounds like it's actually a good story even though it's got squicky bits. 😆 I quite like octopuses so I don't know that I'd want to taint my image of them. Dinosaurs I'm indifferent towards so no harm there. Thought we'd be able to share quotes about the #dinoporn but there's just no way!🙈 It's so awful! 7y
ReadingRover After seeing your posts I feel I now can‘t resist this ridiculous concept of a book!!! 🐙+🦄=💘 7y
DGRachel @TricksyTails It really sounds like I picked the right weird romance book. I definitely got the better deal. Sorry the #dinoporn is so bad. @ReadingRover Yay! I hope you enjoy it. It‘s not perfect or great, but for what it is (a paranormal romance), it was pretty darn good. 😉 7y
Lcsmcat @ReadingRover I love your emoji invention!! @DGRachel Thanks for #takingonefortheteam. Now Littens will only have to search #tentacleporn and #dinoporn to be enlightened (and entertained!) 7y
DGRachel @Lcsmcat Thanks for sending me down this rabbit hole! The discussions this has touched off have been entertaining. I‘ve not laughed this much in a long time and have looked forward to checking Litsy more than ever. 😂 7y
jpmcwisemorgan @DGRachel @GondorGirl Wait? There‘s #dinoporn? And for the adventurers in this group there‘s a series with #centaursex in one of the books (AURA series by Angel Martinez). 7y
TricksyTails @jpmcwisemorgan #Centaursex?! Oh my... @GondorGirl You in? 😂😂😂 7y
GondorGirl @TricksyTails Sure! Centaurs are half human... that'll be normal compared to the dinosaurs! 7y
jpmcwisemorgan @GondorGirl @TricksyTails Well, it‘s #centaursex and #incubussex so four-legs with two-legs....... 7y
TricksyTails @GondorGirl @jpmcwisemorgan 😂😂😂Part humans are too normal! We'd be backsliding *heh* so might as well stick with what we do best https://www.amazon.com/Space-Raptor-Trilogy-Chuck-Tingle-ebook/dp/B01I7Q2T52/ref... 7y
Linear The closest ive resd to tentacle porn is l.k hamiltons merideth gentry with the king of the slough ( or whatever)... you guys are hittn the kinky stuff this month i see. First dino romance now this. Naughties, right before christmas -tut tut tut- 7y

jpmcwisemorgan I don‘t understand how there is #dinoporn. Or #spaceraptorporn??? Are they shifters? What is happening? 7y
mcipher I can‘t believe it was good! 😂 7y
TricksyTails @jpmcwisemorgan Not shifters! The dinosaurs are actual dinosaurs getting it on with humans! 🙈 7y
jpmcwisemorgan I think this was one of the books that kicked off #LitsyAfterDark. I‘m finally getting around to reading it! 4y
DGRachel @jpmcwisemorgan 🤣🤣 I can‘t wait to hear what you think! 4y
jpmcwisemorgan Three years later! I really have meant to go back and read this one but I can‘t believe it‘s been THREE years!!! 4y
DGRachel @jpmcwisemorgan Three years? That can‘t be right. 😳 I mean, I see the comments marked 3 years ago, but I refuse to acknowledge the time lapse. 🤣 4y
jpmcwisemorgan @DGRachel I hear you! How is that possible? 4y

Hey @TricksyTails - Why is the triceratop my favorite dinosaur? Because it's three times as horny as the other dinos! 😂😂😂 (seriously my favorite dino though!)

I've got an early day tomorrow, so I need to log off... but tomorrow I expect to have heartfelt discussions with you over the complexities of human/dinosaur relations.

@TricksyTails @DGRachel Okay guys- I've done a little homework on how to get the best value in dinosaur porn (did I really just write that?!). For 5$ you can get the entire nine novella bundle for kindle. So... yeah...

If anyone else wants to get in on the worst #BuddyRead of all time- feel free. 😂😂😂

TricksyTails Oh my gawd... what does it say that I was doing the exact same thing just now?! 😂 7y
TricksyTails Did you buy it? Hold on! I think I found a better deal. Do you have Kindle Unlimited? (edited) 7y

GondorGirl @DGRachel Certainly understandable. 😂😂😂 7y
TricksyTails @DGRachel 😳 $7 for #squicky #tentacleporn? Those oily rainbow trails are pricey! 🐙🦄🌈💸 We'll be sure to post enough so you're not missing anything! Looks like it's the two of us @GondorGirl 😆 7y

GondorGirl So, I did done research on this book... Apparently the author is really well known in the unusual erotica community and is adapt at writing funny, sweet... uhh... tentacle porn. 7y
TricksyTails @MinDea You have @GondorGirl to thank for #Dinoporn 😆 I couldn't let @DGRachel suffer alone while she explores #tentacleporn. 7y

#firstquarterupdate #tentacleporn 🐙 I think the best part of reading this MM paranormal romance is all of the #LitsyLove and encouragement. 😂 At the 25% mark, I‘ll just tease you with this briefest of summaries: shape shifter romance between a kraken 🐙 and a unicorn 🦄 shifter. The sexy times are definitely squicky and uncomfortable. #takingonefortheteam More to come tomorrow!

BarbaraTheBibliophage Here‘s to squicky! Thanks for the update! 🤪 7y

GondorGirl @DGRachel Google "Taken by the T-rex and the others in that series if you want to laugh your butt off. We did dramatic readings of them at a convention not too long ago... hilarious, but really REALLY wrong. 7y
Lcsmcat @GondorGirl That‘s a thing? I‘m suddenly feeling like I‘ve lead a very sheltered life. 😂 7y
