    REVIEW: Suck by E.M. Lindsey & Cora Rose

    June 13, 2026 / No Comments

    Feed and Feast: Suck – E.M. Lindsey & Cora Rose

    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 that’s when the government begins recruiting for a ritual that sounds a lot like a cross-dimensional booty call.

    Normally an exclusivity contract with a monster called Rathyn of the Dark Vale would be a hard pass, but the more time I spend with him, the more I realize there’s more to this whole monster/human thing than what the government is telling us.

    I want to believe it’s nothing more than an arrangement, but the way he melts under my touch, and the way he’s constantly seeking more, makes me believe that maybe his fate is wrapped up in my own.

    It’s no longer about what I can do for him.
    It’s about what we mean to each other.

    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 book in the MM Monster Romance series Feed and Feast. It contains a clueless human who’s just looking to do his duty for humanity, a naïve monster who has no idea how much humanity will change him, so much sucking, swooning, antagonists to lovers, cuddling as a love language, body piercings, secret romance, and a toe-curling happily ever after.


    Suck is the first book in the titillating monster romance series Feed and Feast by E.M. Lindsey and Cora Rose. It follows the evolving relationship between Vyastil army commander Rathyn of the Dark Vale and his human companion, Everest Hale.

    The Vyastil arrived on Earth from Erethrar through a portal, negotiating with the government to recruit human males as donors, their seed consumed by the monsters. When Everest’s turn came, he couldn’t resist sassing the Vyastil who drank his donation. To his surprise, the same Vyastil requested him the next day, and the next, demanding more.

    Rathyn found Everest’s fluids irresistible and insisted on making him his contracted companion. With the contract signed and his semen handsomely paid for, Everest moved in with Rathyn, who proved far less monstrous than humans believed.

    There is a lot of sucking involved as the Vyastil like to drink from the source. With such a hentai premise, you’d think this would be straight up erotica. This is kinky business for sure but there’s also an air of innocence as the Vyastil are essentially non-sexual creatures. There are only select few who were chosen for breeding and the rest, like Rathyn pretty much go about life asexual.

    Trust the humans to make it all about sex. The Vyastil are so good at blowjobs, there’s a queue of addicted donors waiting for their fix. Why the Vyastil needed semen is a mystery but the demand is high that there are even factories producing prepackaged cum.

    While they prefer their human companions to be submissive, Everest surprised the Vyastil with his outspokeness, never hesitating to lay down bounderies or negotiate. Rathyn enjoys this side of Everest, completely charmed by his sassy attitude. Everest taught him the pleasures of touch, awakening his long dormant sexual desires, transforming their bond from contractual to romantic.

    I loved the play of erotic and sweet. The book give off cozy boyfriends vibes mixed with BDSM elements. Rathyn is growly and possessive, adores his human, and cute when he’s needy. Everest has to wear nipple piercings, leashes, and cock adornments when visiting Erethar, non-sexual status symbols for the Vyastil.

    Their deepening bond must remain secret, as attachment to humans is taboo. This conflict exposes darker Vyastil-human politics, leading to a compromised resolution and an unsatisfying HFN ending that hints at revolution. The world-building isn’t fully fleshed out, but it lays intriguing groundwork for the series. It’s a fascinating world and I couldn’t wait to explore more.

    Also, Cielo! Everest’s Vyastil bodyguard stole the show with his sweet, protective marshmallow heart. I can’t wait for his and Dante’s story. It’s coming up next.

    Suck is a story of consumption and connection, where monsters and humans challenge opposing views and discover mutual desires. Overall, a cheeky release with just the right balance of heat and heart.
