Lustlocked

Lustlocked is a spin on a "sex pollen" story. These are narratives where characters, because of magical or crazy science reasons, end up compelled to have sex with one another. I find these sorts of stories incredibly gross because hello massive sexual violation. And yet they are usually played for laughs as they are in this volume. I like the Sin du Jour series. The characters are fun and the set-up offers up endless possibilities for an urban fantasy, but this was lazy. It was also frustrating to see from an author who seems to have a clue about social justice issues. But seriously, all the humans get forcibly turned into "lust lizards" who screw everything they see. Really not into that type of story, no matter what else is in there.
