MONEY SHOT VOL. 2 - graphic novel


 Not too long ago I gushed over Money Shot Vol. 1 which took sex and aliens (and sex with aliens) to new levels. With Vol. 2 available, I was excited to get my hands on this.

Our intrepid group of scientists-turned-porn-stars is being threatened. The primary threat comes from Earth.  The President of the United States, an egotistical, narcissistic, childish, metal-midget of a man looks to withhold funding from the Money Shot group. And when a sexy female horse-like alien not only declines his advances but kicks him where it hurts, he's really P.O.'d.

But the funding is back on and the Money Shot team is back in action ... as long as the POTUS is allowed to join the group.  Sex with aliens while millions of people watch?  Just what the narcissist ordered!

The Money Shot team has been monitored, however, by another race that sees danger in their actions as they spread themselves across the universe and they'll try to put an end to the team's philandering.  

This was still a fun adventure, but it didn't have quite the same excitement or passion that he first volume had. The POTUS figure is so iconic and sleazy that one can't even call it a 'thinly veiled' representation of a certain real-life figure (except that he's drawn to be slender and with more Hollywood-like attractive looks).

I missed the inter-personal relationships that made the first volume more interesting.  However, the book ends on a note that brings the story to a tighter focus and a return to a more personal level, which I hope is the starting point for the next volume.

Looking for a good book? Money Shot is a clever, sex-themed sci-fi graphic novel series. Vol. 2 adds a new challenge to the XXX-plorers' adventures and isn't quite as titillating as the first volume but still has some fun.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher, through Edelweiss, in exchange for an honest review.

3-1/2 stars

MURDLE VOLUME 1 - G. T. Karber

Image
 I enjoy puzzles of many different varieties. I had not heard of 'Murdle' before this but essentially this is a combination of the game of Clue and a Sherlock Holmes micro story. With suspects, possible murder weapons, potential locations, and/or motives plus some very brief hints, readers are meant to combine the logic of what's know with deductive reasoning to identify the killer (or killers?) in 100 different mystery word puzzles. I will admit right off the bat that I did not do all 100.  I didn't even do half of these, but I did so some random sampling through all the categories (Elementary, Occult Medium, Hard Boiled, and Impossible). I did not get any correct in the Impossible category (of course not ... they were impossible!) and only one correct in the Hard Boiled (of five). The Elementary puzzles were, as expected, pretty easy and the Hard Boiled only a little bit more difficult. Each mini mystery comes with a grid printed in the book to help the reader-detecti

VINYL RESTING PLACE - Olivia Blacke

Image
 Juni Jessup and her two sister, Tansy and Maggie, have gone into business together in their hometown of Cedar River, Texas, opening a combination record store and coffee shop. Vinyl LPs are making a comeback after all, despite critics thinking the medium was dead.  But speaking of 'dead' ... finding a dead body in the supply closet just as they are looking to have a grand opening is not part of the plan.  Juni's life gets more complicated when their uncle, Calvin, already a suspect in the murder, disappears. And the police officer leading the investigation is Juni's EX-boyfriend (who passive-aggressively keeps putting himself back into her life). Convinced that her uncle would never murder anyone, Juni sets out to prove his innocence - which isn't easy since he's making himself look guilty - because Calvin is family and family is EVERYthing to Juni. As readers of my blog know, I'm not a big fan of most cozy mysteries, but the setting caught my eye and my in

THE RAVEN THIEF - Gigi Pandian

Image
 With Tempest Raj now a member of the company, Secret Staircase Construction (a company who, as their title suggests, builds mystery-themed, secret rooms inside homes) has finished their first job. Their client now wants to celebrate to kick off her new beginning - new home and new life now that she's divorced from her cheating ex-husband, famous mystery author Corbin Colt. First up, a mock séance to remove any trace of Corbin from the property, led by Tempest's friend, Sanjay.   But during that séance, while all those gathered sat in a dark room holding hands, Corbin's dead body crashes the party, falling across the table in front of everyone. There were eight people in the room, and they were all holding hands, but all the evidence points to one of them being the murderer.  Suspicions point to Ash, Tempest's grandfather, because he was the only one with Corbin's blood on him. Of course, as a doctor, he was also the only one who checked on the body - wherein he acq
