Overall
|
4.5
|
Post apocalyptic, sci-fi erotica at its best.
Many books in this genre are less, but “Strain” is more.
World/story are fully realized instead of looking like a bad porno
set as so many others do. |

Slightly hard to swallow
premise. Rewarding if you can accept idea of survival via viral
infection by intercourse. Engaging world, great detail.

Tingle

M/m/m/m/m... action. Gangbang.
Forced consent. VERY hot for those who like those sub-genres. |

Characters
|
4
|
Rhys is a sympathetic
underdog. Darius is a genetically engineered super Alpha.
Supporting cast is great, especially Xolani. Villain stereotypical
but motivations never revealed. |

Story

|
Angst and love fight for
supremacy. Neither happy ending nor survival are a forgone
conclusion. |
“Strain”
by Amelia C. Gormley
is “The
Walking Dead” meets “Queer
as Folk” and “Universal
Soldier”. They all have sex repeatedly to save the world or at
least the lives of a few, select young men. “Strain”
reads like it started as a story which needed an excuse for a never
ending gangbang, but along the way it found its feet. The story took
on a life of its own and stepped out from behind the sex. Both
benefited and the result is a fabulously entertaining book.
“Strain”
is priced at $6.99 for 320 pages, and is well worth the cost. Don't
start reading it at bedtime, and make sure to have a tissue handy.
And lube. Lots and lots of lube.
