A review by beckiebookworm1974
Storm Surge by Naomi Lucas

3.0

I liked this one not quite as much as the first book in the series but it was still a solid read.
Nora is a scientist on a research trip on a distant planet but on the eve the team are due to pull out something hits the facility bringing a massive storm in its wake and there’s something shrieking out in the darkness that has picked off all of her colleagues.
Now Nora is alone and stranded the only one left on a planet that had become her prison.

Stryker is a monster Hunter and returning from his most recent mission he picks up Noras distress call.
Feeling instantly connected to the unknown woman’s voice Stryker acts out of character and changes his course to try and rescue the woman whose very voice call to him.

So this was a good read that I did enjoy, I loved the fact that Stryker is a cyborg and shifter and also thought it so cool that his base form is that of a snake.
I loved his unique anatomy and animalistic nature but I did at times struggle to feel the connection.
I’m not actually sure why as it was all there including some very hot sex scenes.
I think maybe the permanent face mask didn’t help and that part I wasn’t a fan of.
I didn’t like that Stryker couldn’t trust himself around Nora and maybe that affected the bond somewhat for me.
I also didn’t like how hard he was on himself when he had so much to offer.

This was dual POV which is my favourite and it was action-packed throughout, The pace here was fast and this moved along fairly swiftly.
Overall this was a decent read and I will read the next in the series.
