We first meet Ledderik in Prey, and his sassy sarcasm was an intriguing and entertaining sideline to that story. hearing he was getting his own book had me so eager for the next part in that story, and I was not disappointed. The fact Cari created an entirely new and very engaging woman in Thorn only added to the overall fun and sexiness of this story. Led is about done with his physical existence, and Thorn gives him new purpose... and a desire to try new and different bodies in the pursuit of their goals. This is a dirty, amusing and wicked monster tale, not for those who don't enjoy some fantasies well outside of the ordinary. Cari's Dark Monster series delivers some great additions to the less then human genre of erotic fiction and I highly recommend them if this is your cup of tea.

Arc Review Copy
Release Date-4/10/18
This was my favourite so far out of these Dark Monster Fantasy reads.
I adored "Blade" like so so much and I raced through this in absolutely record time.
Here we get re-introduced to that psychotic Cyborg Ledderik: you know the one from "Prey" who just needed to get laid.
And let me tell you, folks the lucky lad now comes equipped with a cyber appendage from them crazy cyber monks Wink Wink.
it even detaches: you could have knocked me down with a feather when that factor of play entered the equation here: gives a whole new meaning to the term help yourself doesn't it ? would love the other half to have one of these handy for my own personal me time.
could you just imagine it
"I'm watching the footy hun, here knock yourself out love"
So In "Blade" Ledderik is back along with that snarky hilarious AI Smorg (God how I adore Smorg)
At the beginning here our cyborg is a tad down in the dumps and is ready to embark on a completely stupid direction in life.
Totally bored and sick of his current existence he decides to enter the virtual world of LOL.
He’s sold all but the clothes on his back and is a hair-breadth from completion here.
That is until he encounters Thorn a sexy S'kar with a bit of added oomph.
That added extra is what originally starts us upon our original quest and with a very strange entourage of Crazy Cyborg, Sexy S'kar, talking Snarky Sword Smorg and a sentient starship called Jocelyn its definitely going to be an eventful endeavour.
"Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered"
Bet you all are recognising that legendary quote: I know I got the fantasy quest reference myself.
So Memo folks: that one was for the kids but this one is definitely a quest for the grown-ups.
So this was incredibly humorous, sexy and very tongue in cheek.
And my god: the sexual shenanigans were off the hook like some of the most eye-rolling unbelievable stuff I have ever encountered and my god was it smokin.
Giving Ledderik the ability to body jump was pure genius and man the things that Cyborg or should I say Mollok could do with a tentacle should be outlawed I was squirming in my slippers whilst reading this let me tell you.
And about that Mollok Mating:
(I can't find one remotely un-pornographic tentacle loving pic on Google and now my eyeballs are absolutely traumatised and gonna need some therapy: so What I’m going to just do instead is leave you with this and it sums up my sentiments exactly regarding the whole tentacle-play partaking endeavour )
But hands down my favourite scene was the one in the generator room.
I loved the whole exhibitionist vibe it had going on even Smorg got a front row seat here.
For me "Blade" is all that is weird wacky and wonderful with a heavy dose of wanton just thrown in for good measure and you know what it totally rocked my shoes and socks.
This was a fabulous read that totally hit my sweet spot and I can definitely recommend this no issue whatsoever.
Also, I should mention that this can definitely be read as a standalone.
oh and before I go as an added bonus here you get to read a bonus short story "Disposing Of Tiana"it's short and sweet about a chapter.
But anyone who has read "Prey" will most definitely feel a sweet sense of satisfaction I know I did.
So That's it give this a trot if you like something a bit different or even just some tantalising tentacle perve play no judgement from this corner.
Thank You to the Author for providing me with an ARC of "Blade" (Dark Monster Fantasy #3) of which I have reviewed voluntary.

Where can I get me a Ledderick? Preferably the mollok version please.
This author claims she doesn't intentionally include humour in her books. The sheer fact that one of the supporting characters is a sarcastic, talking sword tells you that his book is going to be great fun.
We first met Ledderik, a cyborg assassin, in Prey, however Blade can easily be read as a stand alone, anything you need to know is included in this book. He has lost his way and signed over his body to the Last Of Life organisation, only he finds a new purpose just as his time runs out. That purpose is Thorn, a genetic disaster waiting to happen. What follows is a kinky adventure involving lots of planets,the borrowing of various alien bodies and a lot of shooting (both of guns AND other things).
Thorn always thought she was a S'kar, a species that would much rather avoid the whole messy business of sex. Until recently Ledderik had been a cyborg with no sexual organ. There's a lot of fun to be had learning new things. Oh, and just better hope those hovering adbots don't have on-board camera's - goodness knows what they might find to film!
This is just one amazingly fun, very naughty and fast paced read. First and foremost it's a sci-fi adventure, with an actual 'quest' to fulfil, a princess to rescue and I'm sure Smorg mentioned something about a ring. It's a lot more erotic, if not down right smutty, then your traditional science fiction read and you won't hear me complaining about that. I loved how inventive Ledderik could be. Who knew tentacles could be such fun?
I absolutely adored that last chapter, I was totally caught out by that little twist at the end, lol! Do I recommend this book? Only as much as sentient ships and talking swords make great partners. That's a massive yes by the way in case you were wondering.

"Smorg." He sat forward, "You have a point."
"I always have a point, that's the whole point of swords."

A cross between a car, a mini-tank, and a superhero accessory this four-doored scarified-pink and black fleetjer could outdistance and outgun most opposition and do it in style.

And damn this uniform for being so corruptible by these psionic powers of hers. Thank the gods, it only showed randomly glitching pixels. If she ever started texting on her clothes she was truly doomed.

With his mastery of torture, he could see this, sex, being a natural addition to his skill set. He never did anything by halves.
