pregnancy.Within the first 7% of the this book the author writes in a minor character who's only purpose in this story is to be the victim of alien gang rape (that is an on page scene) and then she dies off page and is found frozen in this snow later.
When Viktal (the sexy barbarian) first meets Georgie, our protagonist, he instantly sticks his face in her privates and begins giving her oral without consent? The Georgie makes a joke about how she should be worried about being raped but instead she can't stop laughing at how ticklish everything is. Wow. Okay.
I really had high hopes for this series, I thought I would like it but I couldn't even get 7% of the way through without wanting to DNF this shit. Well I finished it and it didn't get much better.
Spoiler
I absolutely hate pregnancy tropes so this explains why I didn't care for the ending very much.It's unfortunate that I didn't like this book that much because Viktal and Georgie were cute together.
I'm giving this 2 stars out of 5, as I had a hard time enjoying this.
⭐️⭐️ 2/5 Stars

also, the epilogue felt weirdly out of character. miss maam barely cared about the girls when they initially died and suddenly she has survivors guilt ?? would’ve been a better plot point had it been in the actual book.

A friend of mine has been a fan of this series for years and I finally decided to give it a try. I was surprised how much fun this book was to read! The mixture of fluff, smut, adventure, and humor is a slam dunk. After spending the past month in the trenches of reading dark romances, it’s so refreshing that the lead couple actually likes each other.
I’m not normally a fan of science fiction (particularly because the intense world building can be so overwhelming when starting a new series), but the gradual build up of the story makes this novel’s setting an easy one to explore and get lost in.
TL;DR: Loved it and downloading book 2 as I type
