Yikes! This was my first book to read for the Net Galley Knockdown and I really wanted to like it! I will have to go with a 2.5 because of the very choppy writing, unlikable characters and weird octopus sex. Formal review to follow!

Jack7609 Oh no! It was an actual sea creature octopus having sex with a woman and she was right into it. Apparently it is called "tentical porn" and it is big in Japanese Anime (according to my 13 year old son!!! Yes-- I did ask him what the hell kind of shows he has been watching!!!). And it wasn't only once in this book-- it was the lighthouse operator's wife's thing. (???)

Penny People should be warned in advance! And 50 Shades thought it has something going for it - it's got nothing on kinky octopus sex!

Aaron (Typographical Era) How exactly did you start that conversation with your son?

Jackie: (shaking head)
Son: What's wrong?
Jackie: Octopus. I never would have thought about trying to make it fit...
Son: You're so weird mom. What are you even talking about?
Jackie: You know....copulation....
Son: ....
Jackie: Getting gently rocked by the sweet suction of slippery octopus appendages.
Son: OH! Tentacle sex! Why didn't you just say so? (walks away)

Elizabeth What the.....?!
I'm still trying to cope with the fact that there's such a thing as tentacle porn. Hope it took her to dinner first.
