There's a graphic rape scene in the beginning, but there's an additional sexual assault

when the MCs first meet — there's no consent, and

that's not TRULY addressed in these pages at all. It's mentioned again later... But there are no emotions about it. Even later,

there are mentions of Georgie wanting to make sure the other girls' "no"s will be respected if they say no. Vektal can't imagine that ever not happening... But, again, he didn't get a yes when he first "meets" Georgie. So.

Also want to speak to ableism tag above directly because I'm not seeing it in other reviews: someone "deformed" shouldn't feel any more "lucky" to be desired sexually than any one else.

3.0

review is based on the digital version + the honeymoon short story bc i was not about to buy the actual book

not only was this just the author projecting her monsterfucker fantasy onto these characters, but it contained a very stereotypical kidnapping by green aliens, quite a bit of sexual assault and borderline cnc, falling for each other in less than three days, unintentionally baby trapping(?), a really cheap cop out of a language barrier, entirely too many star wars references, a variety of phrases i did not want to read, and mediocre smut. also his skin feels like suede ?? i have not been able to move past that. 

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. 

unfortunately, i will be reading the rest of them.

4.0

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

The writing and flow made this book easy to read, I understand why it's so popular, and it was an enjoyable read at times, knocked it down a star because I would have enjoyed this a lot more as just a cutesy lil monster fucking book. And that's what it should have been if the author had no real intention of giving the characters anything more than a few fumes of a backstory or characterisation. It is a fun lil smut book otherwise and should have started that way.
