Was it bad? Absolutely. Was it also entertaining and ridiculous? Of course. 

I was in the mood for a silly head empty book and was finally wore down enough to start this series. The opening act almost immediately being SA is giving a teenager writing their first “edgy” fanfic, but in true tumblr form I trudged through that and overall it was essentially exactly what I expected from an alien romance novel recommended to me by TikTok.

Terrible writing. A lot of rape. I was not prepared for that.

This was a fine background listen, but I either needed it to be a deeper, more extended romance plot or more graphic smut... like, I just needed one of them to be more in depth than either were.

The plot was actually interesting enough, it was just a very fast relationship development and felt like only the intro to a story, not a whole book's worth of a story. 

I dunno, it was all fine I just wanted more intensity.

Audiobook (audible) - interesting story of blue, green, and orange skinned aliens. Strange purring mate indicator, from a tape worm like thing. Wish the evil aliens would have died.

Reading this book is a way to get time to pass. I picked up this book expecting some smut, but there's barely any plot beyond "oh god this alien is strange and hot" -smut. The concept of fated mates is strong in this book. I guess there is some potential plot intrique of getting to know a foreign surrounding and culture in a kidnap escapee situation, but really, if smut is not your thing, you won't get anything out of this book.

I’ve heard people mention this book quite a bit, and honestly it does live up to the hype. I don’t know how I expected the book to start, but the beginning was shocking, interesting, and I appreciated how quickly you’re thrown into the action. 

The romance is intense and as plentiful as you expect, and I did love seeing how the groups have integrated together. 

Probably will pick up the rest of the series eventually!

Honestly there was FAR too much sexual violence for my taste- even within the first 40 pages
